My abuser has been using the medical device to harass me the last 4-5
years. I have no idea what type of a device is being used on me. I
believe the device is only available to licensed pharmacist(s). I am
not very familiar with the intend usage of the device. As I understand,

I've got a socket 370 PIII chipset that had one of the pin separate.
Anyone here had experience in re-attaching these.
The break is clean( the copper trace on the chipset itself is visible
and exposed.) and the pin has a bit of the board resin on the tip so

My Rotel RCD-02 (which is similar to the RCD 961 / RCD971 in europe
is no longer playing compact dics.
Unfortunately this may be due to my own fault as the unit was lef
switched on and placed on top of my Marantz class A amp which get

Got a marantz CD63 with the spin motor dead voltages seem to be stuck at
about 2.5 V on each motor leg. Not familiar with this circuitry but I am
suspecting the IC controller. Any one with a schematic or experience? Tried
replacing the transport, but to no avail.

I need to design a circuit that I can tell it to start (digitally), and
then it will tell me when 10 minutes have passed.  I just need to be
pointed in the right direction.  What's the difference bewteen a
timer/clock/counter.  I have a good understanding of circuit theory but

Anybody know what might be likely to be wrong with my DVD recorder with HDD.
When it is switched on, the display comes on screen, but just says 'Loading'
all the time.  Is it likely to be a fault with the laser unit for the DVD or
something to do with the Hard Drive?

Kind of hard to watch the winter olymics ;-)  A scene with a lot of
snow shuts off the sound while the picture contains a lot of white.

Looking at two budget meters, the Dick Smith, available from AU for $44
US + shipping and the MATelectronics MUL-3333 for $50 + shipping.
Anyone have experience with either?  Is the kit doable for a rank
beginner?  I do have a Weller station, will travel...

Hi! Jeff, I'm in Northeast, Ohio and would like to contact you regarding a
repair that I may need on a wide screen TV (Pioneer SD-P5053). Please
contact me directly if interested. I've tried e-mailing you but it keeps
bouncing back:-(

7020...M # CM 870: Turn it on, the "Compaq logo" appears just for a
moment, then black screen. Place a light onto the front of the screen,
you can see all. Took it apart, all looked ok, soldered a few bad
connections, back together...the same. I didn't get into the

hi , friends
 I would like to know what I need to used the computer monitor as a
TV.

First, I did search the group and did not find the specific info I
need.  I was given an older Maytag 1/3 hp 1725 rpm washing machine
motor and need help with the wiring to retask it for other use.
The wiring block on the end of the motor is set up with six connectors,

I have a Univox Amp I purchased off the back of a guy's truck. It powers on,
but all I get is a hum output.  I attach a microphone or guitar cable to any
of the inputs and *nothing* changes the output sound.  The volume control
doesn't change the level of the hum output either.  ...

Would it be economical to have the Horizontal Output Transistor replaced in
this TV?
