    Dyson DC66 no power but brush head works fine

    I have a Dyson DC66 upright ball style vacuum which the motor does not power on but the brush head does power on if you tilt the handle. Took apart the switch and all measures fine in continuity mode and getting 120v at the switch.
    What's odd is after thinking the motor is bad, I put the switch back together and it powered on again. However, that was short-lived as now it's dead again. No idea what caused it to suddenly start working for that short time.
    Checked for blockages but all hoses are clear.

    Anyone have any ideas?

      maybe clean the switch contacts with alcohol or contact cleaner spray. I had a problem with a cordless vacuum and cleaning the switch solved it.

          Dell ATX PSU won’t start, but forcing it works fine?
          by CapLeaker
          Got a case of something new weird at work. There is an old 2nd gen Intel i3 in an old “Pizza box” shell that has a small form factor power supply. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures and model number off it.

          Anyway, I get to work and get to look at this computer. Standby LED on the PSU is on, but the computer won't start. Hmm o.k. take the battery out of the main board try again, nothing. O.k. then… unplug the power supply from the main board and put in a full size ATX PSU (yeeeesss! Exact that blown Powerman IP that I fixed a while back), plug it in and the old...

          MPG Z590 No display output with known working GTX 1060/RTX 3070, works fine with GTX 1030
          by kamiewtype
          I have a customer machine on my bench right now that's stumped all the techs, so I decided to come here for help.

          The specs are:
          MPG Z590 Gaming Carbon Wi-Fi (MS-7D06)
          Intel core i9-10900kf
          2x16gb Corsair Vengeance kit
          BIOS ver is E7D06IMS.1B0, from 6/12/2023

          The machine was brought in because it would not POST after a GPU upgrade from a GTX 1030 to an RTX 3070. The customer also brought in the original GTX 1030, as well as a GTX 1060 that the machine also wouldn't POST with.
          I tested the 1060 and 3070 on my bench (ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming...

          TD Systems K50DLP8F works fine on 1 HDMI, bad on others
          by edugimeno
          I have this TV set that I spent a long time fixing it.
          I finally found a shorted SMD capacitor near the plug from the PS at the main board. It was shorting one of the main voltages (can't remember which one)
          I removed that capacitor, and as it has another one in parallel, I left it with only one, checked it and it seemed to work fine. The solder near that capacitor was really delicate as I pulled apart one trace so I prefered to not mess much with it after I had to air solder one small thread of copper

          I didn't use that TV much at that time. Now that I'm using it,...

          Hi There!
          I'm trying to help my friend who owns a restaurant be just bought.
          He has a very long LED strip running along all the walls and columns. The strip is attached facing down 2in above the floor, using a wall panel that ends in a metal rail that finishes the panel underneath
          It's stuck using, I guess, the 2 sided tape that comes with the strip
          The issue is that like 1/2 of the full length, including 1/2 one wall, another entire wall, and one column, flickers after 4 or 5 minutes ON. Particularly it flashes staying OFF most of the time and flashing ON for 1 tenth...
