I have had to use Windows 7 to troubleshoot an issue with an UGreen NAS storage device
Forget about Windows 11 this operating is the biggest bunch of the worst kind it does not show the folder created can not access them dose not know that thet they exist shit what the hell is this crap
Now Windows 7 not only can I see the folders I was able to create folder that the UGreen NAS storage device has an issue doing and is more complicated than it needs to be
Now would I recommend buying a UGreen NAS storage system Unit yes however do not think that the way you setup...

NAS storage controller UGreen DH2300 / I have two Wester Digital ICloud storage devices but
Western Digital stopped supporting it in 2022 and now they also took down the old software for it and it can only be used for local storage purposes only no longer remote
One note they have two different versions of IClouds one used the old version software and the other one used the newer version software the firmware is version is also different as well unfortunately
So now I going to two smaller drives for each one and repurpose them for my battery testing machine data storage center instead of the computer storage center
I took both drives and put them...Last edited by sam_sam_sam; 01-10-2026, 07:57 AM. -
I would also recommend that as well and video about exactly you want to repair and understand about it...Leave a comment:

To me it would be worth it if it truly fixed the issue that you were experiencing with it...Leave a comment:

I thought this might be be the case that ok I want to see stay here for a while longer...Leave a comment:

I made a small donation to the site of $10.00
I did not know about this series of capacitors from them thanks...Last edited by sam_sam_sam; 12-20-2025, 02:51 PM.Leave a comment:

Obviously not but those capacitors were crap
Here are some pictures of the light fixtures that I have three of them it is time to order more capacitors again but this time the higher voltage ones...Leave a comment:

The caps that were replaced were as follows
4.7uf@450 volts
10uf@50 volts
150uf@100 volts X (2)
All of them were brand names that I did not recognize...Leave a comment:

LED Yard Light that was either not fully coming on or was flashing repeatedly every capacitor was bad
Yes I know I have not been on here much lately because they are killing at work I have taken a couple of days off so I could have a long weekend
So I had some time to replace the controller board in my pellet grill that haft of the display went out was able to find a new controller board and now it back working again
it one of these all in one screens for the main temperature display and the lights the power button the F/C button the timer button that section was not lighting up the only sections that were still working was the two small temperature sensor screens... -
it
this okay but you really need to test it yourself throughly before making a circuit board or that is the way I would approach it
or do a double side board where your power rails are on one side and the rest of it is on the other side
This approach will save board space for you...Last edited by sam_sam_sam; 10-04-2025, 08:02 AM.Leave a comment:

MPPT 60AMP Solar Charge Controller 12V 24V 36V 48V DC Battery Regulator Testing results on 12 volts
I bought one recently but this is the first weekend that I did not have work Saturday morning or the sun did not want to cooperate with me but today it is coordinating with me and I run a very simple test on a 12 volt battery pack and it stop charging ar 14.4 volts
Here is the website link where I bought it from
https://www.ebay.com/itm/395434828814
I ran this test with a new 12 volt solar panel that has a no load voltage of 19.0 and an output current of 9.1 amps
I do not remember the starting voltage but the charging amps was 1.4 amps

I do not use computer for making an inventory list of parts but this might helpful at some points but because I only have a few places to get parts I remember what there name are and there location where to find them but I really just use part number and look them up for me it simpler
I will usually keep circuit boards that are not completely burned if they have a lot of components on them or I have more than one device that has the same boards but a different set of algorithms or parameters because you can still use the other components I also do this because I want to see if it...Leave a comment:

Unfortunately unless you build the device you are not going to know exactly how it will respond in the real world testing because I have found in my endeavors the true value of a device is not known until you test the hell out of it
This also true for proof of concept projects as well...Leave a comment:

This device you do not have a subscription you just have to buy the device
The reason I am after a DVR that I can record with is sometimes I am at work when the program starts or it finishes before I get home and over the internet streaming services do not allow you start from the beginning again or watch it when you have time
How I know this is when I have no cable tv service because the system in my neighborhood has issues I have had use cable tv streaming services which is okay but not perfect unfortunately
There are only a few programs that fall into...Last edited by sam_sam_sam; 09-07-2025, 02:27 PM.Leave a comment:

Is “Tablo DVR Device” a good option for cable tv box service need find a better service option
Lately I have been having cable tv box issues that seem to be resolved for the moment but I am getting tired of system upgrades that are increasingly taking longer to make them to work correctly and paying a premium amount of money for this service unacceptable the aggregation for the last month
Here is a link for one

As you are aware of I have issues with the tariffs and all of these games that they want to play
And It makes making decisions very difficult to make now because I do not want the extra cost...Leave a comment:

Is this a cable tester or is it something more than that
If it is something else please explain what you are going to use it for and explain what you are testing for...Last edited by sam_sam_sam; 09-07-2025, 07:19 AM.Leave a comment:

This would depend on what your main reason for buying another one for if it just for comparison purposes or are you after accuracy or is price a concern then this is another or at these are determining factor for me...Leave a comment:

I want to being with there products are very good quality I have one of there meters but not this model the accuracy of the seem to be decent it reads very close to my Fluke meter and most times it reads the same when I get home I will post the model number
I also have two current clamp meters as well
I would have NOT have any issue buying any of there products because I have several different products from them
I hope this helps you make your decision about buying any of there products
I normally am not brand loyalty because I find most times...Last edited by sam_sam_sam; 09-06-2025, 10:58 AM.Leave a comment:

You need to preheat the board around the device that you want to remove and then use the hot air gun
If you have a toaster oven set the temperature 300*F or lower all that you are interested in is preheating the board so the heat does not escape to the rest of the board but used an infrared thermometer to measure the temperature do not go by the oven temperature settings because most of the time they are not accurate
Now you might want to remove the compartment that might be damaged by heat first
Or use two hot air guns one on top of the board and one on the bottom...Last edited by sam_sam_sam; 09-06-2025, 06:09 AM.Leave a comment:
