    Laptop lid sensor...

    Thanks, fellows. Closure of lid works well, just of unknown action principle. Opening the unit is risky as something else can become wrong, prefer looking at existing data/images or ask for experiences. Setting is for 10 minutes, sleeps well. If not mechanical and not magnetic/Hall, what other...

    Laptop lid sensor...

    Dave9 : Some do have it. Cannot see such in this compfuser... Bluejets : no action in that area [5] by passing a magnet :( The area corresponds to Fig. 2 on page 7 at the first link where a board is shown. Or the wired white part at Fig. 1 at page 12 on the display bottom.

    Laptop lid sensor...

    Hi. Posting here because it is... well, a sensor. Does anyone know how the lid closing is sensed in a Compaq CQ57 (Or similar HP 630, HP 635...) My previous laptop suffered of intermittent display from wear of hinged wiring; and I used a magnet placed on top of the sensor to put it to sleep...

    Pikkie : Try a pencil. Rub the eraser onto the contacts, the tip to refill the faded carbon on the elastomeric buttons. If not happy on longevity, punch/make aluminium foil tiny discs and glue on top of the faded carbon surfaces of the button. If your remote shows some oily deposits on the...

    Can you suggest internet television hardware ?

    Thanks. Still lost in space. Kodi is not hardware from what I searched. Being an application, has it to be installed in one of these boxes ? ----> https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=kodi+box&_sacat=0 If I understood well, if not already installed. Am very clumsy for these things...

    Trying to buy an underwater Infrasonic magnetostrictive transducer

    Seen your quest in other forums... Do not get the "projector" portion of your wishes. Audio will travel mostly omnidirectionally underwater. And seems you are blindly pursuing the magnetrostrictive thingy... Remove/cut-off the outer rim that attaches the cone to a speaker frame; place the...

    Check if the shafts engage/disengage clutch by pulling or pushing one relative to the other. And treat that control with love, may not be replaceable. Holding with pliers may deform its barrel and bind.

    Car Cd Player AUX input

    Replacing the head unit works when there is connector adapters available to match the source/destination wiring. Interfacing to telephone, GPS, and on-steering wheel controls are a headache to adapt when implemented... Sometimes there is Vss input sensing to raise volume, diversity antennas...
