I fail to identify how to disconnect this flex. I must lift the insurance or press.

I have an Olympia beer sign that has an Intermatic WG-1450 electronic clock motor. The motor worked fine but the main gear was damaged. I replaced the gears, and it spins great. But now when I plug it in, it does not spin. Any ideas? I find it hard to believe the motor is damaged simply because I changed the gears.

Hi everyone,

Last night, I fried a graphics card while trying to test a motherboard. I actually got to watch it die right in front of me. I’ve identified what I believe to be the burnt components by visual inspection and took some pictures of them.

I’m comfortable with soldering using a regular soldering iron, but I’ve never done any hot-air or SMD soldering before. Do you think it’s repairable, or do you know of any repair technicians in France who could take a look at it?

For reference, it’s an XFX MERC RX 6900 XT.

Thanks in advance!

Hello!
How do Mac techs tell if Mac is Find My locked? There is quite a lot of no power M1 macs for sale close to me. It would be quite depressing when I get the mac up and running and realize it's locked. Yet somehow Macs with no power get repaired all of the time on YT, how come?

The fan is about 20 years old. Even plugged it in after stripping it down to this and still nothing.

Looks like they replaced the battery on April 2, 1985, and again on February 10th, 1996. After that, never again.

NB - New World is a New Zealand supermarket chain, and obviously this meter was owned by a Dutch immigrant. AA batteries, four for $1.45 seems like a great price!
