Hoover Dynamic Next washing machine knocking noise (also Candy)

Four month old Hoover washing machine, don't get fobbed-off if your machine sounds like this. There are many things that could cause knocking, but in this case it was the rubbish suspension. This suspension is also used on some Candy machines.

    Just found your channel and I am behind anyone willing to have a go at saving these retro computers and also producing a video to demonstrate that you have at least done some research. If there is no ULA, (Uncommitted Logic Array) and a Z80 present then there is no point in trying it. The ULA actually controls the Z80 and has priority over it. The ULA tells the CPU when it can run and when it can't. It *supplies* and stops the CPU's clock when the ULA needs to read from lower RAM to draw the picture. It is called RAM contention. But without the ULA, the Z80 can't run because of the missing clock (pin 6 of the Z80). It is a cheap dirty trick but that's how they kept the price down. The diagnostics can run without the ROM installed because the diagnostics you use overrides the onboard ROM and has cleverly written code not to use RAM at all to function. I am almost positive that the diagnostics card you are using is the Smart card (V1) from Retroleum.

      Could be the same problem then, although other things could cause knocking. Make sure the front feet are adjusted correctly. Is it still under warranty?

  • @uberdude2555
    @uberdude2555 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember seeing these in the Amiga magazines back in the day and thinking they looked quite futuristic because of long wavy LED design. It would have looked so much better in black, I'm still mystified by the fixation people had with beige computer cases back then.

    • @2008Overkill
      @2008Overkill 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wasn't the options beige or more beige back then? :) or maybe a more grey ST. Of course before the Amiga we had things like the black ZX Species, brown C64 the dark grey/greenish CPC, but then Amstrad changed theirs to beige. I did watch a video that looked into why all the computers were beige, but I've totally forgot what the outcome was :) I think it was something to do with German offices.

      Thankfully you didnt get the beko. The trouble with the old brands is they have been taken over by indesit and are utter crap. There is a machine with the Grundig badge, no way to use the dead companys name. Grundig made radios, not washing machines, but i bet they would have made a great machine in there day lol.
