    Gigatech UPS

    Today, at a computer store, I saw a 500VA Gigatech UPS for $AU95.

    (Do a Google search for "gigatech ups")

    Has anyone had bad experiences with these UPS units?
    (I once saw Liebert 600VA UPS units at a local electronics store for $AU165 - at a good price for their quality; I had suggested to someone that they would be good for the local nursery, which is on the outskirts of the city... they had a power glitch a couple of weeks ago...)
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      It was a rebadge of a KSTAR Pro Office unit - www.kstarpower.com

      In one I bought, it had a couple of suspect solder joints (even though the unit worked perfectly, but I redone them) and "YUG" brand electrolytic capacitors.
      When replacing the electrolytic capacitors, I upgraded the 3300uF 16V unit (across the battery via the fuse) to a 4700uF unit.
      All of the chips and MOSFETs were from reputable manufacturers.
      When tested, there were no known switchover problems .

          Repairing a Music Store Professional GO! SUB 18A
          by h0m3w0rk
          Hello everyone,

          I'm working on repairing a Music Store Professional GO! SUB 18A bass subwoofer, and I need some help troubleshooting an issue with the power amplifier board. The board uses an IR2153 driver and originally had two SLW20N50C MOSFETs. Unfortunately, these MOSFETs burned out. I replaced them with two TK20J60W MOSFETs; however, these also failed almost immediately.

          Here are some details:
          • SLW20N50C (original):
            • Rated for 500 V
            • Typical RDS(ON): 0.21 Ω
            • Continuous Drain Current: 20 A at 25°C (13 A at 100°C)
            • Pulsed Drain Current: 80 A
            • Avalanche
          ...

          Few units of Lenovo Thinpad t490s had the same `backspace` and `enter` keys issues
          by czacha414
          Guys, I need your help. I have an issue with Lenovo T490s laptops – several dozen units in different configurations, and in about half of them, the same problem appeared over time. Specifically, the Enter and Backspace keys don't work unless they are held down for a few seconds or pressed slightly harder than usual. Once they start working, they continue to function until the next reset. However, this is not just a Windows issue – it occurs under other operating systems, in BIOS, and during POST as well.

          While searching for information, I found many threads describing the same...

          MacBook Pro M4 Pro - no keyboard / trackpad / lid sensor
          by mitchw
          Hello
          I got this MacBook Pro M4 Pro to have a look at.
          It was tiny bit liquid damaged, just the edge of the board got 1 small 10x10 mm area wet. I've seen much worse that still worked fine to be honest.
          Since it was liquid damaged, warranty does not apply anymore.

          Anyways it was checked at an local Apple Store and they discovered that it needs new trackpad, new top case, etc. Also it needed a new lid angle sensor which they replaced.
          The main issue was that the screen remained black.

          Anyways I cleaned the liquid damaged area, put the machine back...

          AMD Radeon R9 290 / R9 380 / R9 390

          The Radeon R9 290 was a high-end graphics card by AMD, launched on November 5th, 2013. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the Hawaii graphics processor, in its Hawaii PRO variant, the card supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on Radeon R9 290. The Hawaii graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 438 mm² and 6,200 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked Radeon R9 290X, which uses the same GPU but has all 2816 shaders enabled, AMD has disabled some shading units on the Radeon R9 290 to reach the...

          DIYPHONE Store and AIXUN T420D
          by Sudoer
          I've seen enough reviews of AIXUN T420D on YouTube and decided to try it. One handle defective from the inside, ruined 3 JBC tips, just destroyed the plastic on the tips. One stand does not work, the soldering handle not drop the temperature. Because the seller refused to return the money, and AliExpress supported him and even PayPal did not help, I can disassemble this piece of shit and see what inside, if anyone is interested. The seller said that the station does not work with JBC handles, but I checked that it works. It's just a pity to connect the original handle to this shit. Beware of order...
