    Best way to get a replacement part for a switch?

    I think what 73's de Edd is saying, is that it would help us help you, if you told us the make and model of your keyboard.

    How to use water proof ultrasonic sensors?

    Boy. Somebody is going to get upset about this. Another hijacked post Having been beat-up over this type of thing, I'll mention that we're supposed to start a new post with our own questions on this forum. I know most other websites, people just jump-in with their own requests, but here, the...

    Advice on how to be techie

    The 'resources' section at the top of this forum header has good information. There are plenty of on-line free help available, and there are plenty of inexpensive print publications out there (magazines) that have a lot of useful information in them. The field is very large. I'd start with...

    samsung tv not receiving hdmi signal

    Yeah. Others here also think there's a problem with the TV itself. That's probably the case. Especially since you checked other tutorials and have tried their recommended fixes. Sorry, but it looks like sooner or later you'll have to try to have your TV repaired, or buy another one that is...

    samsung tv not receiving hdmi signal

    How's about trying another cable. Once in a while the cable wire goes bad. (Usually the wire breaks at the connector itself, but I've seen pets damage them too).

    It's 1890!

    Aren't you going to have a problem finding a 120VAC power source, or even a 9VDC battery in 1890? You'd be using them as a boat anchor and paperweight.

    samsung tv not receiving hdmi signal

    I'm familiar with old electronics, and am pretty-much a dolt with all the new-fangled input/output types on these new televisions. I usually have my kids do the techy stuff for me. When your issue assaulted me, one of my kids picked-up the TV remote, and got into the service menu, where he...

    testing electrical equipment

    Kinda reminds me of that old TV news report, where they rigged a truck to explode to 'prove' the fact that the gas tank blow-up when that particular vehicle is 'involved in an accident'. Like statistics, you make the rules to show the result you want.

    Headrest Car DVD players

    Hope *steve*'s advice works for you. I'm not much on telling anybody else what to do, but the way the nanny-state laws keep Big Brother controlling every little thing we do, I just wanted to put that out there. Driving anywhere with my kid is exhausting. I get the low-down on every single...

    Water as a conductor?

    When I was a kid I made a water detection alarm for my parent's basement out of a CD4011. The basement used to flood from sewer line back-up every few years. What I discovered is that clean water when I tested my circuit would not trigger it. Water is, as duke37 pointed-out, a pretty good...

    Headrest Car DVD players

    Off-topic and I doubt you're interested, but here's my input. One of my kids is a State Police cop. They can issue tickets for 'distracted driving' when they see it. ie: notice a TV playing where the driver can see it. That's not my primary point though. With the computers monitoring the car...

    atx power supply

    I'm assuming you checked the actual voltage output of your power supply, and that you're sure the 'waterproof' LED strip itself is not defective? If, sounds to me like you should take a look at the 5v Regulator in your power supply, and maybe be back in business. Sure, the LED strip may have...

    Patent it in case he makes it big. Possible early retirement.

    Can we use 5VDC LED in the AC line to show indication

    If that fuse blows, you'll have 208VAC across a 10K Ohm Resistor and an LED. What do you think is going to happen? Why don't you just use a neon bulb?
