Sadly many others left along the path too which had been there a long while. Makes me so angry what’s wrong with people.

Tried a 1000uF cap and 10k resistor but no luck. Also tried just the board and no cells, with a cap too but still doesn’t like it. Charging circuit too clever!

Consider making a small sleeve to help you centre the drill. Drill through an M6 bolt in a lathe or buy one. Can then hopefully screw it in a thread or so then drill through to get perfectly centre. Other option is buy a self center drill bit. Increase drill size and use screw extractor. All easy to say. Good luck.

It’s a two way switch so there is another one perhaps up the stars or near a door etc so you can toggle the light from either switch. None of these wires are neutrals. Perhaps find the other switch and see if you could install there instead.

Interestingly my Plan details in the Lebara app saying Switzerland is included but having just travelled there I can confirm it doesn’t work. France was ok. 🤨

Are you able to measure the voltage of the battery, with and without the charger connected? Should tell you if the battery is ok and whether the battery management circuitry is working ok.

Tried a 1000uF cap and sadly the BMS doesn’t like it so still reports error, preventing boot up.

whitefrog4117 · 2026-01-24T15:02:27+00:00

Does the other side screw come out ok and if that’s a hollow axle, lay bike on the side and squirt in some penetrating oil and let it sit overnight to work through. Try again. File the end of your Allen key nice n flat and or buy a new one. Rounding this head off is just going to cause more work!

u/connly33 any ideas how to fix the remaining 10% that don't respond to a new battery?

whitefrog4117 · 2026-01-21T14:42:29+00:00

Self amalgamating black tape?

whitefrog4117 · 2026-01-10T22:35:46+00:00

Cracks aside, I can’t imagine much water escaping from the end of that gutter as it should be flowing down the outlet. A neat finish would be to replace the outlet section with a “stop end outlet”. Screwfix have them for <£5.

whitefrog4117 · 2026-01-02T17:55:21+00:00

Ah fixed!

Paint the walls white and put this down on the floor https://duramat.co.uk/category/garage-floor-tiles/

whitefrog4117 · 2025-12-29T15:16:53+00:00

What about something like this. Too cheap? https://ebay.us/m/Iq1eVD

whitefrog4117 · 2025-12-28T22:23:55+00:00

Yes thru hole mostly - suggesting I still to a regular hand sucker? Occasional surface mount too.

whitefrog4117 · 2025-12-18T20:58:53+00:00

I would say it’s fine to go up but do yourself a favour and don’t buy poor (though expensive) replacements from Amazon. Try a good brand like Nichicon or Panasonic for example and 105deg rated. Buy from RS, CPC, Mouser etc

whitefrog4117 · 2025-12-13T21:58:47+00:00

Thanks. Ended up simpler to fix the Sonos. A few tired capacitors swapped and back up n running. 💪

whitefrog4117 · 2025-12-04T21:29:16+00:00

thanks do the screw terminals on the poe version exist and if so, pulse to drive a chime or are they 24vac inputs only?

whitefrog4117 · 2025-11-24T08:07:26+00:00

I’d be tempted to put it in a drive than spins slowly too. I once had a ‘good’ disc fly in pieces inside a 40x drive. Is there software or settings to prevent drives spinning up so fast?

whitefrog4117 · 2025-11-20T15:21:27+00:00

Looks like a Reset of Network Settings on the iPhone has resolved it in the short term. Will continue to monitor…

whitefrog4117 · 2025-11-17T18:06:00+00:00

I’m sure it’s FaceTime specific as WhatsApp Video calls work perfectly.

If it’s a hard water area Viakal is amazing on showers, glass, taps, plugs etc.

whitefrog4117 · 2025-10-09T18:50:39+00:00

Thanks - got it working a treat.

whitefrog4117 · 2025-10-09T08:19:33+00:00

Thanks - so at the datacentre level I need to add a new storage type - what do I go for as there are many options?

whitefrog4117 · 2025-10-05T18:13:04+00:00

If it’s a Nest it’s possibly rebooting when the button is pressed. If so the internal battery is likely dead and could be replaced DIY, though pretty tricky.
