    Does someone here know what data a Chromecast delivers to the internet?

    Thanks for repñying, steve! What's a Plex server? As I see it, my tablet takes the video from the internat, then it sends it via wifi to either the modem through a different channel and the modem through another different channel toward the Chromecast or my tablet sends the file to the...

    What reason could be for a food processor's motor to run backwards?

    Do you mean to interchange the brushes cables?

    What reason could be for a food processor's motor to run backwards?

    Thanks for replying! Interestingly, the blade fits the base perfectly even though it says is mfg'd. by Sharp, this could mean that the parts aren't meant to be used together...

    What reason could be for a food processor's motor to run backwards?

    Have a mini food processor that was given to me a long time ago that never was used and about two days ago tried to make a pureé but much liquid came out of it making a big mess. When, later, I made it to turn without any liquid inside noticed that, according to the blades, it was going in the...

    Does someone here know what data a Chromecast delivers to the internet?

    My main means to connect to the internet is a Fire Tablet (sorry that I forgot to include this data at the beginning of the thread). I've read about using an MHL cable with an equally enabled tablet for doing this but never tried it. My main question here is if there's some app or app+dongle...

    Does someone here know what data a Chromecast delivers to the internet?

    I wish I knew why for delivering content that I've recorded myself I've to have an internet connection and the dongle connected to the modem for casting to a tv. Is the amount of data sent big? Are there other alternatives less demanding or more direct to casting?

    Have seen many Youtube videos related to induction heaters but never for water?

    As long as we limit ourselves into looking at the electric energy usage we can estimate accurately the efficiency of this AWA other circuits. But, if we expand one's horizon of variables to be included other conclusions might arise... I was thinking of assigning a value to 'experiment' itself...

    Have seen many Youtube videos related to induction heaters but never for water?

    Thanks for replying to all! First, if you don't try it you cannot compare empirically. Until it hasn't been tried no one can compare the respective efficiecies of both methods. The safety issue is another angle somehow difficult to assess theoretically. Being involved radio frequencies and...

    Have seen many Youtube videos related to induction heaters but never for water?

    Is there a reason not to use this technology for heating water for taking a shower? I think someone somewhere has tried this already and I want that input before I try it myself! Thanks in advanced.

    What could be the cause of vertical lines at the screen of a Vizio tv?

    The sound and other functions seem to be ok. Below I',m sending a photo of the screen as a sample of the problem.

    Emerson MW8779W doesn't heat but turns on!

    Today I've tested the HV transformer by connecting ~1.8 VAC at the secondary & obtaining ~20 VAC at the primary. At another forum someone has advised me to try with another magnetron. Think I'm going to try that next...

    Emerson MW8779W doesn't heat but turns on!

    I've tested the HV diode by measuring the voltage across it when connected in series with a 240 ohms resistor at a source voltage of around 17 DCV & it gave me around 6.6 V. Took out the HV Capacitor (0.90 microF @ 1800 VAC with internal discharging resistor), my digital VOM start going down...

    Emerson MW8779W doesn't heat but turns on!

    I've found another Emerson oven older than mine & took out its xformer (OBJY2) but it measures exactly the same primary resistance as the other one. It also looks very similar to the original one. The magnetron of this older unit measures ok, also. The model of this micro is MT3060 Suffix F...

    Emerson MW8779W doesn't heat but turns on!

    How feasible is the possibility of using another xformer instead? Since I haven't found the specs for it but have another MOT (not phisically analogous) it ocurred to me that there might be a reasonable dynamic way to test the original unit as well as the proposed substitute. For ex., connecting...

    Emerson MW8779W doesn't heat but turns on!

    This's a rather unusual wiring for this application compared to at least 8 other microwave ovens I've seen. See attachement below. No visible label for the xformer! Do you think it's a good idea to take it out & check if there's one at the other side or below and then trying to find what...

    Emerson MW8779W doesn't heat but turns on!

    There's no DAEWOO logo on either side of the control panel & the processor is a 28 pins chip: TMP47C443N1C81 Japan 0020H. Can you, 73's de Edd, explain the importance of those characteristics you mentioned above?

    Emerson MW8779W doesn't heat but turns on!

    Thanks for replying, kellys_eye & 73's de Edd! First, this unit has no High Voltage Fuse (see photo below). Have not taken out the board yet. I was thinking of checking the switches & their actuations synchrony next (still to be done). Also, due to my BAD experience with Whirlpool online...

    Emerson MW8779W doesn't heat but turns on!

    This microwave oven didn't come with any schematic. What I've found is this: ---> 0.8 ohms between primary of power xformer; ---> infinity resistance between primary & Gnd; ---> a cable between primary electrode & Magnetron shows infinity to Gnd; ---> another electrode from this xformer to the...

    Have been given a disassembled Whirlpool grill-microwave oven with missing decals & fuses?

    Thanks for replying, debe! How can I mark this thread as SOLVED?
