Hi mines definitely older more screws those back hinges are a problem😮. Mine has a DVD player.😮The screws are not marked 😮there's a plastic sheet under the key pad😮
9:30 Deeply grateful for your help getting the power connector off. I'm an Electrical Eng. and I STILL managed to break the locking tabs off the same tyoe of connector on my tablet's battery. The manual shows how to take out every last screw but not a word about these damned things (the speaker connector too)
I removed the case then fan screws easily enough, then pulled the wires horizontally assuming the connector is a normal connector. When a decent amount of force didn't budge it I searched YT and found this video - same here, his advice at 9:48 saved me.
You need to have a camera that supports constant wireless PTP. Once PTP is running on the camera, the arguments are --port --"PTP IP OF CAMERA HERE". The camera needs to be on the same network as the device running gphoto2. That said, I learned the hard way that the sony A7RII I was trying this with could only activate PTP momentarily, and not without disrupting the workflow. The usb connection to gphoto2 was a better option in my case.
I did not have an issue getting the 3 screws removed, however, I did have an issue with the connector. When you popped yours out, there appeared to be a base left on the motherboard. This one completely came off. Help please?!
Hello I purchased this printer and hard wired an iPad to a laptop and wired the laptop to printer. I’m having an issue to where after one print I’m having to unplug the USB in order to print again. Any advice why it would be doing this?
Well, I doubt if I can really help, but I assume that you are trying to create some type of photobooth using the IPad as the user interface and camera and then sending the image over to the laptop (I assume that is over some type of USB connection) to be printed. Since my video was about USB connectivity, I am going to again assume that you have the laptop connected via WIFI to the printer and USB to the Ipad. If that is the case, the first thing I would do is connect the printer via USB and see if you have the same problem. I personally did have a problem with the USB connectivity. When I tried to print two copies of an image via wifi, it would only print one. If I connected via usb, it would print two with no other changes. I assumed that this is a bug in the printers WIFI interface, however, it could also be the HITI driver that is causing the problem. So, I just gave up on WIFI connectivity myself. If you just hook the printer to the laptop via USB and print using some image software on the laptop, do you still have the problem?
@@ModernTableEvents Assuming that you have loaded the latest driver from HITI, it sounds to me like this might be a hardware problem. Can you print to any other printers OK?
@@ModernTableEvents There are both drivers and firmware updates on the hiti website. I would check your system and printer to see if they are at the latest revision. To check, go to Printers & Scanners, select the HITI printer, then printer preferences and then the About tab. It shows you both the driver and firmware versions in one spot.
This is an animation of the wheels in a Cypress Garden Bingo pinball machine. It is written in python using pygame as the game engine. I added the ability to turn the digits on and off and then I added the bingo card overlay just for visualization of what it would look like in the backbox behind the back glass.

me trying to figure out how to disconect the fan cable on my laptop: *stressed* me who ends up cleaning the fan without disconnecting the cable: *tired of going back and fourth to get ispopropyl alcohol* me finding out about this video a month later: *shocked and alienated*
The top screw has a wire that runs right next to it. On my laptop (which I'm pretty sure is the exact same as this one) that wire runs over top of the screw with some tape(?). Can I just pull that tape up to access that screw?
Since I did not have that issue, I am not sure what the wire is or what it is used for, but if you remove it carefully and return it to the same spot after replacing the fan, I assume that you will be fine.
@@MrEdwardhartmannit's the black wire that runs along the side and top of the fan in your video. Not sure exactly what it is, but looks to be taped to the fan on my laptop. I assume I can just take the tape off
@@Laptops1781 I see the wire you are talking about and you should be ok as long as you don't yank so hard that you dislodge or break the connector. I have no idea what that cable is either, but with the number of wires inside the cable (judging on the large connector) I would assume that it either goes to the display or the touch screen.
We are, but Mike is in the process of getting a new location to do the restoration work, so for now, all the pinball machines have been packed up. We did publish a video on the StarTrek table we did a couple of months ago and followed that up with a video on the new rollover sensors we are working on. I might do another video on that now that I have the boards back from JLCPCB and we just got all the parts in to populate the board.
Hello, thanks for the video.I applied the same steps but i got this error : exec: "cmd": executable file not found in %PATH% Error compiling for board ATtiny412/402/212/202. I would be very happy if you could help. Thanks

Hey Edward ! I just purchased this printer. Where can I get the driver? I’m on the Hiti Website but each time I try to download the driver it won’t let me and idk what to do
If there is internet in both places, you should be able to set something up using Gphoto on the Pi Zero to control the camera when the host computer commands it. But this is not what my software was set up to do. If I was doing this, I guess I would set up a webcam that would continuously stream the area that I was watching and if a target came into view, the I would command the camera to shoot the picture. This is an interesting problem, but a little beyond my capability I think.
The 7 digit board is plugged into a 6 digit machine, so the uppermost digit's enable line is left floating, so it is on all the time. That is why it is so much brighter.
It's 2023 and our golf tournament is going on right now. I took all new sign pictures and as promised, I watched this video so I could remember how I did it.
Thank you for this video! We have a similar model laptop and for the life of me, I could not figure out how to undo the connector until you demonstrated it here. Was able to order the part and replace it myself at a fraction of the cost of what I was quoted for a repair. Thank you very much!!!
My pleasure - that is exactly why I made the little video. When I first ran across this connector, I was stumped, so I looked all over RU-vid for an example of someone taking this type of connector out and could not find a single laptop video with this type of connector. I finally found someone taking apart a 35mm camera that had a similar connector and when I tried it, it worked. So, I figured that others would benefit from knowing how to do this.
hp 15s-fq1003na warning message: system has detected that cooling fan is not working properly Does this mean the cooling fan has to be cleaned or replaced? Also how do I find the correct fan part number because I ve searched online and I still couldn't fine the information? Nihal
Great video, thanks! What was the problem with the original fan? Do you see any improvement? Mine is so noisy, it's worse than any other laptop I had. The fan keeps running at high speed for a long long time. I tried to find a way to turn it off, no success at all. I'm thinking of replacing it.
Original fan was running very slow causing laptop to overheat. As for your problem, normally, the fan speeds are controlled by the computer. It could be running fast because the CPU is hot maybe because of dust/hair clogging the heat exchanger. You may want to install an app that lets you check the cpu temp. It could also just be a bad fan.
I just spent the last ouple of hours watching this series and it was fascinating. (Obviously, I didnt watch every minute) I wish I lived next door to you guys and could have worked on this pin from start to finish. So much skill and experience. Thank you so much.
I am glad you enjoyed the videos. We are fairly slow at doing machines - it normally takes us 4-5 months since we only work a few hours a week. But we love what we do. It's great to bring an old table back to life and give it some modern upgrades along the way. We are sure that there are some purest out there that would think that it's a crime not to restore it to original, but Mike just loves to have a machine that just works when you power it on.
I requested that ChatGPT write a CircuitPython running rainbow program for 100 neopixels. The only thing I changed was the pin assignment for the output pin, decreased the number of neopixels to 50 because that's what I had, and commented out the short delay so it would run as fast as it could. Other than that, it's running the code provided by ChatGPT
In "real" code, I would agree with you, but this is just throw away test code - it's not worth the time to set up constants for all the pins when a simple number works just fine. And, if there are pre-defined names for these pins, I have not found a list of them anyway. But, in the last year, I have not played around with the Pico any more, so it really doesn't make any difference to me.
This is a really neat solution. Thanks for sharing your idea. I will, borrow it from you for my outside light project. (A project I started two years ago. Which because I keep learning new stuff will probably never be finished. Thanks again. Ps I found this code via Ralph Bacon’s video.
I really need to make this into a Library, but I am just too busy to ever get around to it. Have you seen Ralph's video #253 on an Accurate Task Scheduler? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eoJUlH_rWOE.html This scheduler is in Library form and has a lot more functions than my little scheduler, but probably more overhead also. But, it's always nice to have options.
