Hi @solonofathens , Don’t know the answer but here’s a teardown video for an Alcatel 4034D which may help as it shows that the headphone socket is mounted on the systemboard, so presumably the 4034X would be the same. Searching online I couldn’t find a replacement headphone socket part for the phone, but found a donor parts option that you may wish to consider depending on your location and the shipping cost

Hi @greco888 Have you still got the old fuse? If so what are the markings on the end caps of it? If it shows the current rating as T20A and the Voltage as whatever it is e.g 250V, then you need to get a slow blow fuse with the same current and voltage rating e.g. T20A 250V and dimensions and not a standard (aka fast acting) fuse. If it just shows the voltage and the current e.g. 20A 250V then as long as the replacement fuse has the same current and voltage rating and also the same dimensions so that it will physically fit securely into the fuse holder, then it should work

Hi @justwannafix189 , You need to open it up and clean it again using the Isopropyl Alcohol. Using 99%+ IPA is best because there are no additives which may be in some Isopropyl Alcohols having a lesser percentage of alcohol, but if you can’t get any then 70% is better than nothing. Also 99%+ IPA leaves no conductive residues once it has evaporated. Like nearly all liquids except distilled water it will also conduct electricity until it has evaporated away, so make sure that the battery is disconnected before cleaning You need to gently brush away any corrosion using a soft brush moistened with the alcohol. It’s the brushing that removes the corrosion and the alcohol ensures that it is electrically “clean” afterwards. Brush gently as you don’t want to remove any components from the board. If you have an ultrasonic bath you could immerse the board in it in a solution of IPA and the cavitation bubbles produced in the bath by the ultrasonic pulses do the cleaning. You don’t want it to be too vigorous though...

Hi @peekie , Have you tried searching for the power board’s board number (when searching include all info from the board only e.g. board number + Rev number if applicable) to find a replacement board and not the TV model number? You may get both doing it this way i.e. replacement boards and also perhaps other TV models where the board is used, which you can then look up It may be easier and cheaper to simply replace the faulty capacitors.

Hi, Here are some images from the upgrading and servicing guide for the desktop, that shows how to remove the drives from the case. (hover cursor over image and then click on the + symbol. When the image opens click on it again to enlarge for better viewing) Hopefully this is of some help.

Hi @rapidhandler , Is it the original power adapter that came with the router? If not there are two DC power plugs that are very close in size and perhaps the adapter that you have, has the wrong size plug. There is a 2.5mm and a 2.1mm size. The sizing refers to the diameter of the centre pin/connector in the socket and plug as both types have an overall outside diameter of 5.5mm It is very hard to judge 0.4mm by just looking at it. The 2.5mm plug will fit into a 2.1mm socket but it is not a snug fit between the centre pin of the socket and the centre connector of the plug so there may be intermittent connections. i.e. 2.5mm centre connector of plug fits over 2.1mm centre pin of socket. You can get a 2.1mm socket to 2.5mm plug adapter (supplier example only) to overcome this problem if the adapter plug size is 2.5mm and the router socket size is 2.1mm The 2.1mm plug will not fit into a 2.5mm socket, i.e. 2.1mm centre connector of plug will not fit over 2.5mm centre pin of socket. If you have the original...

Hi @Ray Benefield, Sounds as if there may be a problem with the circulation pump or perhaps the power supply to the circulation pump motor. Also have you checked that the holes in the spray arms are clear and unobstructed? Disconnect the pump from the wiring harness and try connecting power directly to the pump and see if it runs smoothly or not. Be safety aware as the pump operates at mains voltage supply. Alternatively use a voltmeter to check if the pump power supply is steady but the pump turns on and off. Here’s a link to the parts for the dishwasher that may help. There are other suppliers online that may suit you better. just search for KDPE234GBS0 parts to get results. Also check behind the kick plate (toe plate?) to see if the tech sheet is there in a plastic sleeve. The tech sheet details how to get into the diagnostic modes for the dishwasher so all the functions can be individually tested etc. Hopefully it also has the wiring diagram as well. Maybe running the diagnostics will give an error...

Hi @alancluxton , You can but do not use any oil based paint as it gets hot in a microwave and the paint might tend to bubble. Also be careful if using a spray can paint, that the paint doesn’t overspray and get get into any holes etc and clog them up, mask them over etc There are paints specifically made for microwave ovens. I haven’t tried it myself but here is one just to give you an idea of the cost etc. Just search for microwave oven paint

Hi @cdaly , Have you tried adjusting the monitor’s colours using the OSD menu > color > 6 axis hue or 6 axis saturate to see if you can resolve the problem? The pure red, blue, green may have been OK because when testing these colours only the appropriate colour pixel i.e. red, blue or green would have been turned on whereas all the colours are made up of a combination of the 3 colours at different power levels i.e. a pure white colour = 100% red, + 100% blue + 100% green. Here’s a link that shows the % ratio of the three colours for most of the common colours. If you can’t fix it by adjustment most likely it is a solarization problem with the mainboard (assuming it hasn’t got a tcon board - board between mainboard and screen) that feeds that half of the screen.

Hi @wren32 , You may have to check the suspension system. It may be just due to the vibrations caused when spinning at high speed. It could be a faulty shock absorber, a loose shock absorber bracket or even a faulty or loose shock absorber mounting pin (see parts #30, 32 & 31 Motor Tub diagram parts) There are other suppliers online that may suit you better. Just search for FTF2140FS2 parts to get results.

The 3rd wire from a battery is usually connected to a thermistor attached to the battery which signals the temperature (resistance value changes with temp) to the battery management circuit in the motherboard.

Charging will be halted to if it got too hot before being fully charged, which may create problems e.g. a fire

If leaving the 3rd wire disconnected, the battery should not be left unsupervised whilst it is charging

Hi @captainsnowball ,

FYI

voilà French exclamation - meaning “There it is!” or “There you are!”

The “red thing” in Step 3 is most probably an IR filter, to filter out visible light to improve IR operation
