Even though at the moment there are hardly enough hours in the day, I've decided to invite some topic or project requests. After all, the nights are now drawing-in and my work on rebranding our estore is nearly complete. I therefore expect to have some spare time on my hands. So, if you are contemplating making some changes to your machine, investigating a fault or fixing a new part, and you'd like to see a tutorial about it on this site, feel free to drop me a line and I'll see what I can do. I've stripped these machines back to the bare case, and fully re-assembled, so no subject is beyond this site. Or you might just want me to complete the tutorial on how I deep clean my machines!
More soon, no doubt....

First, let me say your tutorials are great and I want to thank you for sharing what you've learned through experience. It's my opinion that it takes someone special to share, rather than trying to keep knowlege captive.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I actually do have a request (in addition to your finishing the good cleaning tut): the lcd screen
My sister has one of these that's developed a dim lcd screen. She's sending it to me (my youngest son is an electronics guru), but I haven't seen it yet. If you know anything about this part of the machine I think that would be a wonderful addition.
Thanks for the kind words!
DeleteUmm, a dim screen is not a problem I've come across before. That said, I'm not sure whether you mean the yellow/green backlighting is dim or the actual text and images on the screen. If it's the backlight it might be a simple as a failed LED (there are four LEDs behind there). But either way, if your guru manages to resolve it perhaps you could drop me a line about the solution and I'll stick a post up on here about it.
Regards
Dave
PS - I promise to find time to complete the good clean tutorial!
