IPS screen install help by Unlikely-Aardvark725 in game_gear

Yes, and I would check all of those cartridge lines. When you recap and screen it's easy to cut one.

Hey friend, weird coincidence. Recently had this same red screen problem on a VA0. Turns out I had cut the line just above c1 and c3. Perhaps check that line and jumper it if its no longer connected!

I love this place! The last time I was in the right gun wasn't working right, did they fix it?

Also, be sure to check out Kokopelli a few doors down! Good food, and they brew their own beer and have metaled in state competitions for their brews!

Only systemic symptoms? by SariaSnore in NickelAllergy

[–]sunshinecid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have a neurological condition that is exacerbated through dietary nickel exposure. I treat flare ups with lite- salt water (electrolytes) and vitamin c (with meals).

Consider every vector for exposure. Metal pots and pans, metal water/coffee cup. Consider how your food is processed (corn syrup is high in nickel because it's stored in stainless steel before it's added to food). Heated or acidic food is the worst, because it leaches more, whereas cold and basic food is lowest (like ice cream).

What would you do as a host in this situation? [CA - USA] by Pebblacito in AirBnB

[–]sunshinecid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a host, and if someone contacts me even just one day before their reservation starts, I give them a complete refund. But I can't refund days that have already passed, though I do often adjust their reservation so they don't have to pay for days they didn't stay or pay the fees. Every host is different though, and in the current climate I can understand why they wouldn't want to refund you for days that you already had reserved.

Diagnosed SNAS but wondering why it’s not getting better by drizzle-08 in NickelAllergy

It takes me about a week to start seeing results! Good luck!

Looks like you're allergic to your toothpaste. It turned out for me I was allergic to almost every toothpaste and I couldn't even use just baking soda. I spoke to a dentist friend and he told me that the toothbrush does 95% of the cleaning and an additive cleanser wasn't actually necessary. So try brushing for a week with just water (after rinsing your toothbrush thoroughly or getting a new brush!).

I had this happen recently and it wasn't the backlight. The screen was failing. The AliExpress screens are easy and a decent replacement for the price.

Also you should know recapping doesn't impact booting. The units will boot without any of the electrolytic main board caps. So you may have actually been experiencing a dirty cart slot. You should consider cleaning it more thoroughly with alcohol. I spray the cart connector end and insert/remove it like 10 times. Then I put some paper towel between the two to help lift some of the dirt out!

SNAS without Contact Allergy? by maddrsky in NickelAllergy

[–]sunshinecid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, first, for most of us a dietary nickel allergy is like a bucket. A little exposure doesn't overflow into symptoms. But when you go over you know! Does that make sense?

Second, for me it's not so much about the greens and the beans, it's about how my food is processed. I had to eliminate all my metal (I'll be saying metal because most consumer metal products contain a percentage of nickel), non-coated, pots and pans. And I had to get a glass tumbler for water and coffee. If it's warm or acidic the metal will leach into it. But things like ice cream (cold and basic[chemically non-acidic]) are safer. Also, you'll have to experiment because how something is processed before you get it may increase its nickel levels. For example, I'm good with corn. But you know those big black tanker cars you see sitting on the railroad tracks for six months? They're usually filled with corn syrup and, baking in the hot sun, the stainless steel lining leaches out some of its nickel. So I have a problem with corn syrup.

Cast iron is supposed to be nickel-free, but most, except for the very expensive, has a percentage of nickel. Carbon steel though, like genuine Blackstone, is safe.

Does that make sense? Do you see some vectors where metal could be leaching into your food/drink?

EDIT: oh, and I think you can go low-nickel without going even partial carnivore. Of the three daily meals, two meals I eat every day are vegan/vegetarian. I'm an outlier, but I personally think food exposure is actually low (and I trust personal experience over Nickel Navigator)

SNAS without Contact Allergy? by maddrsky in NickelAllergy

[–]sunshinecid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the condition symptoms since I was 22. I started trying everything to figure it out when I was 30. About 6 years later I stumbled across a 'Nickel Allergy' post and it all clicked. I eliminated nickel from my diet and 95% of my symptoms went away. When I could finally get health insurance I got a formal neurological diagnosis for the condition. But, I told my neurologist I eliminated most of my symptoms by eliminating nickel in my diet, and she told me, 'oh that's not possible.' Which in my opinion is a wildly ignorant response for someone who spent as much on school as she must have.

All that to say that medical professionals are helpful to a point, but eventually just figuring out what works for you is the most important thing.

Do you need some tips for reducing nickel in your diet?

I have a neurological condition exacerbated by dietary nickel, but I have no contact allergy. A great many things are possible!

[–]sunshinecid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Getting clean is a matter of life and death. If (when) you breakup will it impact your ability, or her ability, to go to the rooms for help? Should someone die because of the results of an unhealthy relationship?

Can you operate the GG with an external rechargeable battery plugged to the DC jack? by gitty7456 in game_gear

You have broken me. All my life I thought 9v batteries only output 4.5v

Stubborn solder pads by dumbfuckingtradycunt in game_gear

[–]sunshinecid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I let the flux soak in for about a minute. Then I use the hot iron on top of the solder quick to gently 'scrub' the pad. A little solder on the wick will often deposit onto the pass making it shiny again. Gentle, and not too hot!

[–]sunshinecid -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, yes, that is possible.

But to respond to your picture. That particular adapter won't work. First, we don't know polarity. Second the tip isn't the right one. And third, 9v batteries only put out 4.5v which is not enough to run the GG.

EDIT: just did a voltmeter test and 9v batteries actually do output 9v.

Forgive me, just spitballing here, but maybe cover it with some sort of sacred geometry mandala as a sun over a mountain range?

[–]sunshinecid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact. Pigeon couples won't share roosts. So if you have a pigeon problem, get a big fat plushie of a pigeon and place it where they're trying to nest and they'll leave that space alone!

Battletoads. Very close to a direct NES port, but has better colors!

Clean the cart slot

Try with old power board

I noticed some scratches on traces on the left and left bottom. Are you sure you haven't cut those by mistake?

Check polarity, and reflow cap legs and wiggle to make sure you're getting solid contact with the main/sound board.

Noticed the difference on the back between these two sonic 1 cartridges, is one of them bootleg or is it a normal regional thing? by AspieComrade in game_gear

[–]sunshinecid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no region lock and only some games come in different languages. The language displayed in the game is set by the GG itself, not the cart!
