This is the newly reopened runway 34R. I believe that around timestamp 1:15 is where JL516 finished up off the runway on 2 January, but there’s almost nothing to see other than mild charring of the grassy area, some new asphalt, and some sea wall reconstruction: presumably some sea wall defences were removed to provide access for the clear up operation.
Philips Hue Smart Plug Teardown and Repair

A common failure mode of the Hue Smart Plug is a sticking relay that typically sticks in the ON position. This is due to the contacts micro-welding themselves together, and it can often be resolved by giving the Smart Plug a sharp tap. This failure will usually happen more frequently over time, until the unit remains always on, and no amount of percussive maintenance will resolve. To avoid unne...

Would you say the upgrade is worth it? Judging from the benchmarks. And is the idle power consumption lower in the 9950x?
Probably not. The only immediately obvious benefit I got was the speed on boot, in that the Memory Context Restore setting in the BIOS worked without having to also set the Power Down Enable setting. But now I know that you need to set both to bypass full memory training anyway with AM4 on these motherboards, I guess it's not such a bonus after all. There is no obvious change to idle power consumption in my setup.
I think I'm using a newer version of MPLab than you but whenever I try to program it says my programming tools are not available. The only thing that shows up is 'simulator'. Any idea what's going on?
@@joshuaplank883 The MPLAB X version is 6.20 which as I write in early November 2024 is still the latest version. When you say “programming tool are not available”, are you referring to compilers/toolchain, or the hardware target board & programmer/debugger?
@nezbrun872 I see. Your GUI looks different from mine so I assumed different version. I am able to compile/build. It's the programming/debugger part that I get the error.
Removing the pre-installed heatsink usually voids the warranty. Just but the heatsinkless model
As I stated, there was a very substantial discount on this SSD SKU at the time (ITRO $100 cheaper than a bare SSD or so), that is why I bought it. Of course I'd have bought the bare version had it been the same price or cheaper.
Thanks
@Nezbrun, have you got an email address I could use to get in contact with you about a physically broken USB stick? Many thanks.
Just recently bought the Rigol. It was just 400 Euro cheaper. 900 Euro int total, and the digital probes, all protocol, the signal generator was included. I accept that the modern ones are much better but they are also way more expensive.
It's not a bad scope: I'm still a knobs and buttons guy, so I like having the four separate channel controls. It's the best scope I have for remote access as the screen update rate is comparatively fast when accessed using RealVNC (rather than the scope's web interface, which is slow). Some quirks with the LA... Firstly, at high speeds, there's a 1ns offset between trigger point and display. Secondly, the Search function doesn't work with LA channels at all. It's also a bit flaky on more complex serial searches. Thirdly, note that the LA sampling rate (and memory depth) is 1/8th that of the LA channels: this is especially important for serial decodes on the LA channels, as the headline sampling rate shown on the scope's display is that of the analogue channels. You can see the LA sampling rate in the Acquisition -> More menu. Fourthly, the decodes become unreliable on both Analogue and LA channels on busy traces. The sweet spot for maximum reliable decode for a single 100kbps I2C trace seems to be at 5MSa/s analogue sampling rate and 10Mpts memory depth, so that equates to LA sampling rate of 625kSa.s and LA memory depth of 1.25Mpts. That's about 2 seconds' worth. You can dramatically improve this on bursty data by using the Record function: for example, I achieved over 9,000 34 byte packets over a 4.5 minutes duration using the Record function.

I always get confused why the little Casio is called the fx-82 Solar II in Europe, it's just a classic stunt by Casio trying to get some brand mileage..
Very nice collection of calculators. My commodore SR-4190 has colored function buttons...😊
For me, RPN makes you think about the order of operation and make you think about the problem, step by step.
Honestly, this is so cool to see. Its really nice to see someone work on a build and explain it step by step (made me realize that for am5 might have to get a cryosheet and not thermal paste looking at how clean everything is). The Densium APU case looks really nice. Big fan of the GAN 250W in this case. The only drawback with this case in my opinion is that the gpu can only be a single slot (btw yeston has released a single slot rtx 3050 6gb which is 70w). Overall really cool email crunching machine :)

Would you recommend buying this and running it in eco mode if I have air cooler. Or buying one of the lower tdp zen 5 chips. Which have a lower initial purchase price too. Im going to be running this on a full server that runs 24/7 but also as a main desktop machine for intensive tasks. Previous cpu was ryzen 5 1600 bought in 2017.
For me it's determined by the expensive electricity we have here in the UK. I run an N100 as my only 24/7 box. It runs an SSD NAS and VMWare Workstation with Home Assistant in a VM, and idles at about 8W. I also have a couple of dual socket rack mounted servers with bags of RAM and SSD arrays for system and end to end testing, but they're only turned on when I need them, or in the winter when it's cold. The 9950x machine is my daily driver though. When it had the 7950x in it, it idled at about 100W: I'm not keen about having that on 24/7 with my expensive electricity! I'm not sure what the idle draw is with the 9950x, I haven't measured it yet, but I'd imagine it's about the same. There is no doubt you'd see a massive uplift from the Ryzen 5 1600.
@@nezbrun872 How is it *idling* at 100w? That's a heap of power!!
Well, there is a T1000 8GB graphics card in there as well. I agree though, the idle power isn't great however you look at it.
Garbage
I'd keep off the sauce if I was you!
I wonder if it could run off a crystal detector tuned to a local radio station?
Interesting. So that little potted stick is an inverter. I always wondered what those were. In addition to the PR100, I had an SR4190R that carried me through tech school. It had a killer feature - I called it "exponent bumping" that I have never found in a non-Commodore calculator. Basically, if you have an answer in nano-somethings and you really wanted micro-somethings, you just hit a key until the exponent shows -6...the mantissa will adjust to suit. Being so fond of that, I still have a working 70's Commodore on my desk - an SR5190R. And a couple SR-1800's. Not as fancy as the SR5190R, but they have gorgeous green fluorescent displays.
I didn't trust Chinese Smart plugs they always faulty. My 4 WOOX WIFI Smart plug from last year, 2 plugs went failed stuck permanent power on & 1 plug failed won't turn on & 1 worked fine but sometime come back stuck permanent power on. I go back old timer/schedule worked fine & remote switches plugs non-smart plug worked fine 🤷 Most Chinese are not good electronic skilled. Need more made in USA or Euro or UK products.
SUPER video thanks, just go mine up and running again after a few days of repairs.
This is exactly what I wanted to do. I purchased a PIC16F1939 to drive 4 static large 7 segment LCDs. I did not know about multiplexing consuming more power. So which one uses less power: Using 2 Common pins to drive 4 displays in 2x2 groups or using all 4 Common pins to drive all displays with same segment pins? I unfortunately can not get the LF variant of PICs locally so I will see what I can do with this one. I guess adding 2 more 7 segment displays to show seconds is kind of pointless and will only increase power usage. I will just use the dots of the displays to show 1/4 of an minute. Yesterday I wrote code to use timer1 with 32768Hz quartz crystal to count up to 9 on a single 7 segment LCD and will soon try adding other segments. What I want to do after making this is to use PIC16F1936 to drive a combination of very small 3 digit and 2 digit 7 segment LCDs to make a wristwatch. I also have a 4 segment watch LCD with the “:” but it is 3cm long so bit too big for a wristwatch. After making my LCD purchase I realised that they sell a 6 segment 2.2cm long one which is the perfect size for a wrist watch.
I just tear down my LG gram today ! thanks for the vid. There are 2 hidden latches at rear exhaust, if you look closely there are some (4) plastic that looks different than exhaust fins., use flathead screw pull toward yourself a bit, you'' hear *clack* sound, so it will pop out from latch, so you can now remove the bottom cover easily.
I connected the rtc according to the data sheet, but it's using 45uA instead of 45nA at 1.8V. Any idea why this might be? The clock works perfectly, but it's drawing way too much power. BTW, I'm using the evaluation board version of the RTC, which already has the SLA and SDA with the 10k resistors. Feel stuck at the moment. Vdd is 1.8V straight from power supply. When I connect it via 2x 10k res, the clock starts at 00:00, but counts one minute every 2 seconds. Microcontroller draw is 380nA and each segment around 45nA. Any help would be appreciated!!
Did you clean the board(s) properly in an ultrasonic cleaner? Where are you measuring the current? 45uA is about what you might expect from a weak pullup being pulled low. I have no idea how you've wired up the demo board.
Hello very interesting your video. Could I ask you where did you buy your special tools to open the hue plug? Thans

Un-obtaineum -- long obsolete and discontinued.
well done, i see a lot of smoke. Do u have a fume extractor ?
Nope, I've never used one since I was about 8yo. A bit late now. I'm 58! That's not to say you shouldn't have one.
If you add a snubber network across the relay contacts, you will never need to change the relay again, it stops the contacts arcing on open and close!
Ah yes, and what are the details of that snubber network exactly?
Thank you for your service, Mr Grunting Elephant. Wasn't sure if there was anything attached to the lid like with some laptops.
*PromoSM*
That's cool. Have you done this type of videos with custom PCBs?
Yes, but I've never been successful with home-made boards because I don't have the facilities for a solder mask, which is essential for BGA or WLCSP. Don't ask me how I know! With an appropriate commercially fab'd breakout boards and PCBs (with solder mask!) it's not too hard. I place the BGA/WLCSP first, tinning the pads, removing excess solder with wick, then add flux, place the part & apply hot air. This has to be done before all the other parts are placed so I can inspect the balls by gazing through the gap between the package & the board, with the board held vertically. I use a stereoscopic zoom microscope for this. Then I use a DMM on diode to check for protection diode connectivity to supply lines. I use an old HP 34401A for this, which offers fast audible feedback. I've yet to witness a better DMM for board checking TBH. They still hold their value on the second hand market for good reason. The problem with this method is that it means you can't really use a stencil, but to be honest for a one-off prototype, manually placing a couple of hundred parts can be quite therapeutic especially if you have a decent soldering setup, including soldering tweezers & hot air as well as a couple of irons with appropriate bits loaded. Commercial assemblers perform inspection using a microscope with a tiny mirror at 45 degrees to look edge on into the package/board gap. That way all parts can be placed while still being able to perform inspection.
@@nezbrun872 For the continuity test, I've seen a guy hack his cheap DMM to produce a different tone depending on the value of the resistance. I thought that was brilliant and might indicate you there's a cold joint for instance if the pins go bip-bip-bip-booooop-bip, for instance
Nice job and thanks for sharing that Omron ref! The relay is far from being the tallest thing on that board, so realistically you don't need to match the pinout, you could rewire it........and maybe use a solid state relay in its place? I find the audible click of a relay sounds quite archaic on a supposedly premium electric gadget in 2023
I did look into solid state relays, or rolling my own triac circuit. The problems with these are cost (particlarly for the solid state relay solution) and heat dissipation. The heat issue means switching a decent current will take up space. Now I know why they didn't use a solid state relay to begin with! It you're willing to use a different enclosure to deal with the heat, a solid state relay or triac solution makes a lot of sense. So I took the path of least resistance (pun not intended) and picked a compatible relay.
I love my HPs, but one of the earliest ones I have that's _very_ similar to your fx-991D is the Radio Shack EC-4035. Having the base-n mode so you can treat hex as a first-class citizen and the fixed engineering mode with units is great.
Glad its not just me thats been suffering with this. I've had a number of these go with the same issue recently, in my case they are powering non-smart lights (e.g. Christmas lights or lamps) which is their intended use as far as i am aware. Interestingly a plug I've had for approximately 3 years has been rock solid, but the other couple I've bought within the last year have all failed in the same way you detailed in the video. The latest has only lasted a few months. (I'm using UK plugs too)
can I use pickit3 for program PIC16F1705?
Yes.
both relays' datasheets say they should last at least 100,000 operations. do you know what might have caused these to fail before that? i wonder if in a more sustainability concerned economic milieu it might make sense to have relays be items you could pop out and pop in to replace, like fuses.
It might be the nature of the loads I have on these relays, as they aren't purely resistive, having switch mode power supplies etc in them. There may be inrush currents from the non-resistive loads which exert excessive arcing leading to sticky relays. Irrespective, I don't consider my use case, that is to turn off a bunch of devices in standby, to be a particularly onerous task. One use case that's failed twice now is on my desktop PC setup that includes about a dozen items including the PC, a printer etc. In themselves, they draw about 200W maximum, well within the relay specs. Another option might be to come up with a snubber network and/or MOV across the contacts to mitigate. I did look into using a solid state relay, but these are expensive and bulky at this kind of power.
@@nezbrun872 are there devices available (or could you fashion a device) that would connect in line with the power line leading from the smart plug to the load devices? so that you wouldn't have to open the smart plug and modify its innards to get this protection.
@@tohopes You mean like a NTC thermistor? You could always try to wire one between your plug and your power supply to see

Great review! I can buy one, but didn't talk about price yet. How do you think
where did those 45 years go? :(
Somehow it just never occurred to me that hours minutes seconds even really required a calculator. Those are all small integers - I just do those in my head. Most good calculators have HMS+ and HMS- functions, though.
If all you do is quarter or half hour increments, yes, do it in your head, it's easy. If you're a pilot, where each flight has several times, all logged down to the minute, such as calculating in-the-air flying as well as blocks on/blocks off times & durations, and cumulative durations separated for single/multi engine, day/night, in command/P2, IFR and simulator, it's not the kind of thing I do in my head. But good for you.
@@nezbrun872 That's a good point, and also if you're a pilot then you do this a LOT, and lives may depend on you doing it right. We're human, and eventually we make mistakes, so any sort of automated assistance that reduces that error rate is of high value. I wouldn't feel at all comfortable claiming that my *error rate* doing it in my head would be as low as doing it with a device assisting me.
