    Re: LAN cables

    Oh, so you shouldn't hotplug joysticks?
    Then I better stop.
    How safe is hotplugging midi cables and devices or hotplugging more complex networking devices like AUI network adapters or Fiber optic cables?
    Find Nedry!


    Check the Vending machines!!

      Anything that is a signal only cable should be ok. Except scsi, usb, and PoE(stuff that is designed to be hot swap), anything that contains a power line in the plug should be powered off first.

        A1312 (27” iMac 2009-2011) A1407 (Thunderbolt Display) A1316 (Cinema Display) Display Black Screen Repair

        Problem

        This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

        Pioneer PDP-V402 - Black Horizontal Lines
        by Wf789
        Hi, I'm new around here and hoping that there may still be some people on here that are knowledgable about plasma display repair, as some of the old badcaps forum posts have been pretty useful to me so far.

        For any regular plasma TV I probably wouldn't bother to go through this effort, but I have a pro-grade Pioneer plasma which I really want to use and it would be a shame to throw it out since there's not many of them still around these days. The plasma has the typical black horizontal lines that seem plague plasma displays. I've counted 3 lines on top of the screen and 4 at the...

        T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
        by Tr0ll
        Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

        The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

        Original T-con:
        Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

        First replacement T-con:

        I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

        Certain "Class 2" HDMI cables can be marginal at 4K 60 Hz
        by japlytic
        For some time, a "Class 2" HDMI cable (part number BN39-01583B) supplied with a Samsung 4K 60 Hz display sometimes causes the display to overlay a few horizontal lines of flickering pixels of random colours and sometimes drops out, particularly on content requring HDCP.
        Since changing the cable to a thicker Class 2 unit, this problem has not occured again - do you know of other marginal "Class 2" HDMI cables supplied with displays?

        Patents for service cables
        by magicpc
        Hi, will you share your patents for connecting e.g. xbox or ps4/5 to a laboratory power supply? I'm curious how these cables are made. Or maybe you have other patents for connecting other equipment?
