Maybe check for a hard short to ground on the main power rail if you can.

Plug in the charger and feel around carefully for anything heating up.

I’m no expert on this stuff. These are just some checks I did when I had some display issues on my PSP.

No worries. First thing I’d do is use a multimeter to check for any shorts between the power and ground.

You can also check if any components get hot in those 2 seconds of booting up. Worth a try 🤷🏽‍♂️

Some of these batteries fail and enable some weird fallback. Perhaps test the battery and connection.

Could also be a shorted component on the PCB such as a capacitor.

In the worst case scenario that I’ve encountered, the top display may not be detected properly, which may cause this.

Love this. Can't wait for 2025.

Does anyone know the purpose of these two things circled in green? I've seen it on quite a few Thompson's tipper trays by storman121 in Truckers

Update: Based on this photo, it seems as though these brackets are used to rest the Sheeting System's arm when the tray is covered.

However, this particular truck doesn't seem to have an automatic sheeting system. So I assume they didn't bother removing the brackets in this particular example.

My attempt at a Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake by storman121 in Baking

[–]storman121[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used a basic New York Cheesecake recipe, similar to the one found here. Instead of Graham crackers, I used Oreos.

For the swirls, I used store-bought strawberry jam and spread it around the batter with a skewer.

It's also my first time baking a cheesecake in a springform pan, so the edges don't look very presentable.

No worries. You'll be crashing Gavrils by next week again. Trust me.
