I just received 24AWG wire and replaced it~
Lucky~ fixed it and have screen now.
Thanks for everyone help.

Re: What is this wire???
Did you replace the wire? The thread is getting too long to just dealing with piece of wire.
Buck converter:

Just look up the spec sheet of that 5-leg IC so you can see what that IC is for.
Is it SI-8008HFE?

That wire is needed for that Buck converter IC to work.Leave a comment:

Re: What is this wire???
Not that it matters -- just use an insulated or not piece of 22AWG wire -- but that device looks like an IC since it has 5 pins...Leave a comment:

Re: What is this wire???
Just cut the paper clip down to size and just solder it in and get it over with, that piece of wire looks to be connected to Gate of the MOSFET, that is why I ask for pictures) so any piece of wire will work.Leave a comment:

I am with all you on this I did not think it would last this longLeave a comment:

Re: What is this wire???
trust a radio guy to think of that! i never thought of coax.

Re: What is this wire???
It's a piece of wire! use the center conductor from a piece of coax (rg59 or rg6) if you don't have any scrap wire around.Leave a comment:

Can we see good clear straight shots of the whole top and bottom side of the board?Leave a comment:

Re: What is this wire???
unwinding a choke from a scrap psu is also a good source of copper wire.Leave a comment:

Re: What is this wire???
Maybe if it does not generate any heat from it but you can use wire wrapping wire if you put a few of them together and twist them together and the diameter is not bigger than the hole in the board
I have have done this before and it has worked for me
Or if you do use 24AWG wire remove the insulation from it if it generates heatLeave a comment:

"Romex" (NM cable) is typically 14AWG or 12AWG here in the states. The conductor in the photos appears approximately the same dia as a component lead -- whether it is a 1/4W resistor, 1/2W or even 1W may be debatable.
The OP can remove the wire and check it's diameter with a micrometer.
Or, just lay it side-by-side with various component leads to "eyeball" it.
(A photo with such leads would be informative -- note the dia of the holes for the other nearby components of similar dia in the photo! How many components appear to have 14AWG pins??)Leave a comment:

just strip some romex < i think you call it that.Leave a comment:

OK. I got the rocker switch figured out thanks to the good advice on this forum.
Now I need to figure out the correct wire to go to the switch from the broiler element and from the oven element.
This is a Whirlpool RDE3340 electric range.
The common wire on the switch appears to have a high temperature insulating material. I am guessing that both the wire to the broiler and the wire to the oven elements also need relatively high temperature insulation. What do I need to look for? The broiler is rated at about 2400 watts.

We have an Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK that we use as a secondary laptop. To cut a long story short, around May 2023, while traveling, I connected the laptop into an electrical outlet that was already switched on. Something made a "pfft" sound and the laptop refused to turn on after that. After getting back home, I gave the the laptop for repair to an informal repair person. He replaced the adapter and an internal motherboard part, but after he returned it I noticed that the LCD did not look normal. Essentially, every alternate horizontal line on the screen had gone missing. The laptop was... -
I know many folks on this forum warn against conductive glue and suggest removing it immediately upon site. I'm here to vouch and say these people know what they are talking about. To be more accurate, the glue isn't intended to be and doesn't actually start out conductive. It gets conductive as it is heated by components that get hot. The glue starts out to be a light tan color but as it is exposed to heat, it gets darker and darker until it is a dark brown. I have found that it becomes conductive at the point that it reaches a light brown color on darker.
Here is an experience I... -
I currently have a customer's vintage fan on the work bench to repair.
It uses an induction motor with 4 poles. One of the poles is open.
I couldn't find the break so i cut off the original wire.
I have measured the other poles and the resistance is about 28 ohms per pole and I measured the diameter of the wire with my digital calipers and it is 0.35mm in diameter.
I need to work out how much 0.35mm diameter enamelled copper wire i need to order for it to be 28 ohms. I have used this calculator and it says i need 160.35 metres.
The enamelled copper... -
I was Ollie today which is a close out / surplus outlet store I do not go in there to often because you find things that you should not be tempted by but that is a another story
I saw a small space heater that used a wire type of heater element which I been looking for a while but not really hard mind you but when I saw this I grabbed it I going to go back tomorrow and buy the last one that is like the one I bought today because I need the heater element and the ceramic insulators and more of heat element wire because this one has two different wattage settings one 1300 watts ( tap...
