I have two Lenovo Thinkpad Compact/Slim keyboards. One if them is USB and the other is Bluetooth. I really really like them because they have almost the same keyboard as my x230. But what I like most is the trackpoint/thinkpoint. Avoiding mouse usage is great. Also more space in the table :).
BUT… in both of them my trackpoint was broken. I noticed that it was due to a very small black plastic that was broken.
One of my two smart feeders (the newest) was bumping and having problems putting the feed to my cats. After a lot of time, I went up online and found a Reddit post that had very valuable information.
Some users had good luck removing the rubber bands from the spinning part of the feeder, but the user Set-Condition-5 wrote the following:
Team, while removing the rubber guards helped, it turned out our jamming
problem was caused by the screw that connects the white main gear you see when
you remove the top housing ( the half with the food) to the motor being
completely loose. If you remove the small white cap on the gear you can access
the screw and tighten. This stops the gear from raising up which was causing our
jamming.
This screw is this one (click on the image to get a color one ;)):
Greetings everyone!
A couple of weeks ago I got a Sony HitBit 10p from a mechanical keyboard enthusiast from the University, a great guy :). He know where to leave MSX things. There was a particular issue: There was no power supply. After changing one power supply for a Sony HB-T7 I thought that it would not be much of a problem. And actually it was not!
I found a tutorial in spanish on how to do this with a phone charger. As you can see in the video, what he does is to use a soldering point below the switch connector to solder a 5v input.
Hellllooooo everyone!
I’m alive, again. Maki asked me to make a blog post about how we changed the MSX HitBit T7 japanese power supply unit (from now on PSU) for a more modern and european one. So, let’s do this.
Victor Muñoz followed this post (plus the discussion we have had on email) and did this mod. He has shared with me a PDF containing the tutorial he has made. So check this for additional notes and photos so it’s clearer.
Hey!
Recently I bought a broken 75P just for fun (and well, it was cheap :)). It had a video problem which, after reading a couple of msx.org posts (Hit-bit With Broken Graphics and 75P black screen mainly), I believed it was a problem of VRAM as Grauw pointed.
That was a clever way to debug it. Watching how Basic characters are output, you can see which bit is broken in the ASCII chart. Why can you point to which bank is failing if a bit fails?
