JordiGH<p>So now it looks like my hobby is fixing my Nintendo DS instead of playing with it.</p><p>Yesterday I couldn't quite get the potentiometer for the bottom screen to work quite right.</p><p>Oops, in my fiddling, I broke it off.</p><p>Well, now I have a replacement, but I'm going to need help soldering this tiny thing on. I found someone local who can help me!

JordiGH<p>I need some hardware advice.</p><p>I recently re-assembled my DS Lite. The bottom screen flickers very slightly and has faint horizontal lines across it. It's not really visible at all except at certain illumination levels, like a black box with a bright background.</p><p>I tried disconnecting and re-connecting the screen three times in case I might have accidentally attached its ribbon cables wrong, but the slight problem persists. There are cheap replacements online for about 20 USD, although the reviews say they have bad electrical insulation and I should add some electrical tape to them.</p><p>What would you recommend I do?</p><p>Edit: Yay, this fixed it. <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@JordiGH/114259241328546783" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mathstodon.xyz/@JordiGH/114259</span><span class="invisible">241328546783</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/NintedoDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NintedoDS</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/DSLite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DSLite</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/hardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hardware</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/repairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repairs</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Retrogaming</span></a></p>

J. Steven York<p><span>A couple nights ago I came home to find the alien and lights in my second story shop window. Was out. I figured it had gotten unplugged, but no, the plug was dead! This floor is basically a storage warehouse, so all the other outlets were behind shelves. I found ONE across the room, crawled under a shelf and -- dead. The ceiling lights are on the same breaker, so that wasn't it. But I was envisioning a broken plug or connection upstream, and <br>I went through all my old construction photos, pre-drywall, to figure out where the other plugs on the floor and the wires connecting them were located. It appeared the first plug in the run was near the stairs, right above the breaker panel on the first floor. <br> And that's when I remembered that the first plug on the circuit downstars had a GFI plug that had caused me trouble once before (Ironically, it had been hidden behind a bookcase in my wife's writing office). Was there one on the second floor? If so, it would be that first plug, deep behind a shelf. Also behind a lot of flat things that I'd put BEHIND that shelf. <br> I pulled out multiple sheets of plywood and perfboard blocking the way, and way behind the shelf, I could just see the plug. Unable to see clearly, I stuck my phone back and took a closeup of the plug with my phone. Yeah, that spoiler picture. Red LED. Poorly marked reset button.<br> With difficulty I reached back, found the reset by feel, and pushed it. The lights came on! Yay! My fears of an expensive electrician visit were relieved!<br> The lesson here is, if you're building or remodeling something, TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES during every stage of construction, especially before the drywall and insulation go up. Get clear shots of every interior and exterior wall, and don't forget the ceiling.<br>Knowing where your studs, rafters, beams, and hidden systems, pipes, wires, ducts, are, can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars later. <br> Even if you don't understand what you're looking at, you can show them to a professional when they are coming in to aid in troubleshooting or modifications. Sure, there are ways to "look" through walls, but pictures are much quicker and more certain.<br> Now my alien returns to his mission to bring cheer to a dark modern world!<br></span><a href="https://catodon.social/tags/homerepair" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homerepair</a><span> </span><a href="https://catodon.social/tags/DIY" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a><span> </span><a href="https://catodon.social/tags/homeowner" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeowner</a><span> </span><a href="https://catodon.social/tags/homeownership" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeownership</a><span> </span><a href="https://catodon.social/tags/repairs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repairs</a><span> </span><a href="https://catodon.social/tags/electrical" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electrical</a><span> </span><a href="https://catodon.social/tags/homerepair" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homerepair</a><span> </span><a href="https://catodon.social/tags/troubleshooting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#troubleshooting</a><span> </span><a href="https://catodon.social/tags/lifehacks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lifehacks</a></p>

Frank Bennett<p>One of the nice/weird features of my road bike is a generator hub strung to sew-up/tubular rims. The hub and light are by Shimano, and were purchased over a decade ago, before LEDs were a thing. The bulb has burned out once again, and I have a Panasonic LED light left over from my defunct mama-chari shopping bike, so adapting that to mount on the road bike's handlebars somehow will be a weekend project.<br><a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/bikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/repairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repairs</span></a></p>

AI6YR Ben<p>Today's random repair task: put iron on patches on two pairs of pants (well... reapplied one, flipped the peeling patch to the inside of the pocket rather than outside). Will see how long that lasts me. Seriously considering pre-patching wear points on the inside of my pants BEFORE they wear a hole now (edge of my wallet, and rear end LOL). <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sewing</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/repairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repairs</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a></p>
