Q8, PMS SEND TO THOSE WITH ISSUES BLF soda can light

FWIW, I’ve had pretty good results from placing a notebook in front of a fan or a space heater for several hours. Haven’t tried the rice method.

However, I also live in a pretty dry place. In a humid area, a fan might not be very effective without heat.

Rice is phenomenal for phone saving. It’s definitely effective.

Speaking of which… how deep is the hole/thread in the Q8? I want to get some threaded d-rings for slung use.

“Anyone know how to do CPR on a computer?”

Sort off, have been building my own computers, and overclocking them since a 700 MHZ cpu was like ” OMG who need so much calculating power”

But i have never worked on a laptop, in my small circle we tend to agree laptops are for students and kids. :smiley:

Still have my dualcore AMD machine as it was one of the Opteron CPUs named Denmark, and the 1700 MHZ coy did / do 2500 MHZ with ease.
Always nice to have a fallback, computer

Also have parts to build a 3.0 GHZ Northwood quadcore machine, just to be on the safe side of things.

Okay i have not done overclocking for a while now, dont seem to be needed and i have other things to use my past time on.

It was a rhetorical question. :wink:

Sounds like he’s got everything under control… except the roof. I hope the roof won’t be too much of a pain to fix.

Yes I did not like notebooks too but with the regular power drops and the need to be able to move to another room (we live in different areas in winter then in summer) so a notebook made sense , though I have a big one with room for a fee hard drives so it comes close to a desktop experience :wink:
And well it worked when I pressed it off and then dried it and placed it up side down on a fee towels, I kind of expecf it to boot up and work normal tomorrow.

A little over 6mm

It is not steep.
I needed 220 new tiles on a low part a while back.
It is all done 30 years ago and then old tikes were reused.
So winds and age make then slowly glide down and some crack.
Reason I needed 220 was that it was my first time on a roof and I had no idea how to move and I wanted to freshen the look up a bit so evenly but randomly I changed some top tiles too,
Now I know how to get up there amd over without breaking tiles and I plan on leave the old ones as is so not fleshen the looks, it looks good. All I need is to change the shifted, cracked and probably hail-smashes tiles.
70 new tiles ready :wink:

Just had 4 x 30Q button tops land from Fasttech, $19.43 delivered to the UK in just over 2 weeks.

Capacities look decent (2906, 2971, 2961, 2957mAh).

The button tops are different from the ones shown on the site:

They also appear to be about 1mm longer (to my uncalibrated eye) than the button tops with the smaller button that I got a while back.

Now I just need a light to put them in :smiley:

Can I be put on the list for one?

Welcome to BLF!
Yes I’ll add you next list update.

Actually it is not the best method to use rice. The problem is not the water. the problem is the salt and minerals in the water. and if u let it dry (using rice or a fan . . . ) the salt and minerals can still short things out. and it will still corrode further. (Should you put your phone in rice? Only if you want to buy a new phone - YouTube) a good inside look what happend if u use any simple dry method (jump to 36:40 to see a rice dryed pcb). Or check Louis comment and pics (How to use rice to repair water damage on iPhones and Macbooks - YouTube).
If your device gets wet first thing to do is get the battery out if possible. and then get the device to someone that can dissasemble it to get it cleaned. I did some of this repairs myself. using destilled water and isopropanol to clean the parts. some are still working.

Ah OK, well. I’ll open it up and see how it all looks
Did get a car fob working aftet it was drowned in hot cocoa with demi water and alcohol. Thanks

The Miller, if I can, I also wanted one.

Thanks.

I would like to be on the list if it isnt too late.

Does rain water have a heavy enough mineral presence to leave a robust evaporate film that short electronics? Honestly? How do grapes grow to make wine in France with so much salt present in the rain?

Hahaha water coming through the roof is not clean anymore.
There is not a hole in the roof, there is/are opening(s) where water enters, then finds its way down the several layers the roof is made of
Indeed was rain just directly fallen on it I would just dry and only open if not working.

So I’ll take a look anyways now

Will update list later!

Being the miller is living “down there” i would assume his roof are made of slate shingles, and since some have been pulverized there must be some minerals in the rainwater.

The first winter in my house we had snow blow into the sealing :person_facepalming: so the following summer i had to go up on the roof and fix the very top of it as that’s where the problem was.

And i can assure you sitting up there with one leg on either side of the roof, pretty fast that become only enjoyable to masochists.

So i had to dismount the roof pretty fast and go get something thick and soft to sit on while i scooted backwards on the roof top as i fixed the problem.

<—- grew up in Dad’s lumber yard, built quite a few houses after he sold the yard (they [Dad and his brother] had up to 7 carpenter crews, sawmill, lumber yard, 35 years) So I definitely know the feeling Sparky. :wink:

Sad to hear that TF will not give us the 3 bladed tailcap but it is nice to see that the Driver PCB is now secured properly!
The delaminating traces are not so nice! Hope that it will be possible to reflow new LED´s on the MCPCB at least one or two times before the delaminating gets to bad!

I hope that the delamination was caused by my impossibly hot 80W solder iron, and that normal reflow temperature does not cause it, and that it can handle multiple reflows without problems.
