I am attempting to repair the power supply of my air fryer. It comes on for a moment and then dies. I have traced the circuit (hopefully correct!). I have checked all the diodes, capacitors and resistors. I have not been able to find out the identity of the 8-pin controller. It looks a bit like the Viper12A but the pins do not match. Can anyone identify it please?

So I got this at an estate sale, got it somewhat working, but the motor cuts out every approx 4 seconds unless the two wires are repeatedly touched. Them seem to fit into the plastic thing in Pic 3 where some nubs on the wheel push them together intermittently. Has anyone ever seen a tape mechanism like this, and know how the wires should go back in? submitted by /u/JPA92303 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi, this is my midi controller M-Audio Oxygen 61. it fell to the ground and the usb connector broke today i realize that it maybe also hit the pin of this other component. It is safe to replace the usb connector and connect it anyways or should i try something before? USB Connector broken and kinda opened Chip with the left pins maybe smashed https://preview.redd.it/g6gckvy3i31d1.png?width=1215&format=png&auto=webp&s=bc4da6f394215674d946a78bd3cc267b309553a9 https://preview.redd.it/lojnlvi7i31d1.png?width=683&format=png&auto=webp&s=16c5c693e993fa7afe60dea4744161471f ..read more

I have a Russell Hobbs kettle that only comes up to 160F before it clicks off. The kettle has been descaled and the thermostat is just a bimetallic disk. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening or any suggestions on easy fixes? submitted by /u/JL4575 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I recently purchased this unusual butane lighter at a flea market. The button batteries were old, so I changed them out, of course the wires came loose. There is an orange, a green and a brown wire. The orange and green were soldered to contacts, but I'm not sure where the brown wire went. Can anyone help? The battery makes the nipples light up. And which wire is positive and negative? Only serious replies only. Thank you. https://preview.redd.it/vsgwbg5cb21d1.jpg?width=157&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fddb81652d2ff19b8e05d9bbc411a953ed8c54c https://preview.redd.it/pe6phg5cb21d1.j ..read more

I got an old Sony tape deck that had the end plug ripped off, so I bought a replacement but I’m not sure how to tell which way I should solder the replacement. Any help appreciated! submitted by /u/oh_spap_its_me [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I recently got handed down this vanity and looking at the back, some of the original cords were altered/cut and I have no idea how to get it to work. I'm not sure of the model but the lights are e27 led bulbs. Should I just replace the lights altogether or is there a way to connect these wires to an extension cord or something? submitted by /u/Odd_Can_3706 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

A little over a year ago i bought a Jetson Haze Ebike. I worked fine for what i need it for but after a while i noticed a problem with it. Sometimes when i connected everything i wouldnt have power and my battery indicator lights would dim out. After a while it became more common. Now its rare for it to work and most of the time the same thing happens. I thought it was a bad connection between the battery when i closed it so i took it apart and directly connected the battery but still the same thing happened. Also when it does work and i turn it off and on or disconnect and reconnect it ..read more

Our brand new omni max 35-50 pint dehumidifier will randomly smell fishy and really gross for a few minutes then smell completely fine. What would cause this? We’ve only had this for 2 days and followed all the instructions. Should we return it? submitted by /u/Hopeful_Display5697 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
