Testing an HVAC AC air conditioner contactor. If any pole shows open (with coil energized), or resistance of more than a couple ohms, the contactor should be replaced. Occasionally, the contactor will fail closed (the contacts never open), so as the video shows, each pole should be open when the coil is not energized. Once energized, each pole should excellent continuity (very low resistance).

beware FAKE counterfeit JFET's from ALIEXPRESS CHINA
You must have a magnetic ballast running your fixture, it's not compatible to run LED T8 replacements. Because the tube isn't actually a florescent cathode ray tube filled with low pressure gas. It's a LED strip running on DC, I think, with what must be an internal adapter. Anyway, it should say it's not compatible with magnetic ballasts in the product spec sheet/manual that came with it.
No. -- Exact same result on 2 separate occasions, once using a magnetic ballast, the other using an electronic ballast. These lamps are just garbage.
WOW! yOU LITERALLY SAVED ME FROM GOING crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot!
What difference it's from old firmware?
Hats off to the team that designed the IC. Theres QUITE a lot of analog signal processing crammed on that tiny silicon wafer. Incredible!
What do you get with this firmware update? Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
This is the best video I've seen explaining the operation. Am looking for a manual for this product that relates to schematics and Parts list. Anyone has and can sell me a copy ? Best video
Thank you!

Bro sei un boss grazie
That's why I would say. Never buy a brushed motor tool because they tend to burn out the brushless. Seem to last much longer brushless. Usually it's the ball bearings that go out
I agree regarding modern tools, but in my lifetime I used many old vintage USA brushed tools and never once had one fail so quickly. Most lasted decades and with regular use. This is just Chinese junk.
@@bigslick I almost wanna say the motors are also being overvoulted. That can also cause the brushes that go out sooner. That motor doesn't look much bigger than an R. C car motor for like a one seventh 1/7 oR 1/5 scale r c car
@@hellhound-si5oz it is a tiny motor, for sure.
Those amplifiers are known as curtain burners cause they can put. D c out on your speakers, what can cause curtain fires
True regarding the reputation, but this setup here has been in daily use since approx 1979 and never once had that type of failure.
worked like a champ!
I have c5050 coming, I don't have windows but I use linuxmint..., I wonder if this is going to be a problem...
No issues at all. Use your file manager to create the same directory structure that you see in the video.
@@bigslick got it, thanks!
A update? Very wild,
I would like to install a VU meter analogous to mine. Do you know where I could get a signal from?... It would be great to be able to see the compression.
My finepix205s turns off when switch the knob to either film or photo mode, any idea where to start?
new NiMH or Lithium batteries. Dont use anything else. If that doesn't solve it, then I dont have any other suggestions.
@@bigslick thank you for advice. My last resort is switching the lens module from donor camera.
Thanks bigslick - just bought an 8080 from ebay and upgraded the f/w
Mines dead aswell I have the same wacker
Should the camera turn on without an sd card because I currently don’t have one but when I turn on the switch it flashes the green light and then remains off.
yes, it will turn on (may take 15-20 seconds), screen will come on and say NO CARD.
@@bigslick ok thanks for your help mine must be broken. It only turns on properly when I connect the usb to a wall plug but then it turns off as soon as I remove the usb.
@@isabelbyarugaba2008 AA batteries may be weak. Need to use either rechargeable NiMH or Lithium AA. I find that nothing else works.
@@bigslick that’s brilliant thank you so much for your help!
@@isabelbyarugaba2008 Worth a try. I know these models definitely do not work right with standard AA "heavy duty" batteries or generic AA "general purpose" batteries, and sometimes wont run very long with Alkaline either. But they run good with NiMH rechargeable and Lithium AA.
What screwdriver do you use to open an Emerson TPX-55? I have one that makes a little noise when it's turned on (on AC power) and the switch is in the internal speakers position, but that's all it does, and it doesn't do anything on battery power. I would like to take the back cover off so I can try to troubleshoot it and see if I can get it to work, but I can't find any screwdriver that can turn the screws.
Thanks for walking me through this. Helps to have this resource. Cheers.
I updated but it can't read my Toshiba 1GB CF card
My 5050 with latest firmware has no problem using a Silicon Power 2GB CompactFlash. Did you format the card inside the camera? It often doesn't work if the card is formatted in a PC or other camera.
Very straight into the point and helpful, thank you!!
I believe this part is from a 1993-1996 Grand Cherokee. UPDATE: 05/2024, all of the blower modules I have found are just as expensive as those for the Corvette 😕 Ex Standard Motor Products RU759
Bought one in 2020, never had it in a storage so always left in the weather. Motor finally burnt up. So I can't complain. Also never used when the grass was wet. Always waited a couple days after a rain to use
hi, just wondering what is being improved by updating the firmware?
Thanks for these. I did a few. You don’t necessarily need to unzip the archive on the memory card nor do you need 7zip. The windows built in unzip tool works fine. Same for Mac. The folder structure is super simple.
Have it
Chinese stuff is always made the cheapest way possible..
I need help, when I open the application and hit update, it can't find my camera and I have no idea why, I have the camera set to saved and the software still doesn't recognize it.
Well, there is not any newer update for the 800UZ so I would not worry about it. But for your issue, I would use a different USB port and-or a new USB cable.
The camera is 12 years old LOL. This is probably some kind of record.
Hello, why can't I connect to the server? It shows me a connection problem even though my internet is good!
Curious to know how you approached grounding that front metal connecter ring.. I tried soldering the bit on the inside to a ground wire, but couldn't get the solder to stick..
Finally! A vid showing the fuse integrated into the power connector! Thanks!!
ok so how do I change the actual blower motor ?
There are at least three or four other people on UA-cam who show you exactly how to change the blower motor on a C4 Corvette. It's quite easy and only requires simple hand tools.
@@ZBrink11 yes I figured it out thank you and it did the charm .
I wouldn’t use WD-40 to remove old thermal paste. Just Use 99% isopropyl alcohol. You need to use the alcohol anyway to remove the residual oils left from the WD-40 application.
WD works perfect. Been using it for 40 years. It's a cleaner, not really a lubricant, regardless of what it says on the can. The tiny bit that it takes to clean off the paste, a mcdonald's napkin will get it bone-dry with a few wipes.
If the screen wrinkled and broken, can it be replace or fixed?
not economically feasible, you can find nice working C-5050 for well less than $50. Usually I see them for around $30.
@@bigslickyea its about around $30 dollar, the cons is the screen is wrinkled from outside, and viewfinder little bit dusty, but it stiil alive, what do i do? Should i take it? With that cons
I would at least desolder the original 614 first lest the xx32 in parallel tries in vain to charge the dead backup cell. There's also the idea of replacing the 614 with a supercap of the same size and voltage, which i think will last indefinitely. Also, don't forget to insulate the xx32 cell before the camera is closed. Any idea why startup was so slow after the operation?
1) Having owned an A205 for 20 years (as of April 2004) and used almost daily for that entire time, I can say with certainty that occasionally the startup will be slower than other times for completely unknown reason. It has always been that way. I have assumed that it may have something to do with having to charge the flash if it had not been started-up for a while, and these models rely on firing the flash for almost all photos. Another possibility is that I have noticed that this model seems to startup slower if the settings had been wiped due to the dead backup battery, and the startup is always faster when the settings have been retained. So since the settings were wiped when the new battery was installed, the first startup was slower. So probably one of those reasons. I now own several A205 and A210, and they all behave like this. 2) Re - Trying to charge the old battery... I am not worried about that. That old battery is totally open-circuit. 3) Supercap is definitely a possibility. I may do one of these with a supercap, but I honestly just did not want to spend any extra money on the project. I had small button cell batteries that I was not going to use for anything else, so the repair was free. There's no room to put a supercap in the same location as the old battery, so it would still have to be routed into the same location as the button cell battery. It really does not need to be insulated, there is only plastic around that area where I tucked it in, and once the cover is replaced, there is no way for the battery to relocate itself elsewhere. Of course, nothing wrong with putting heatshrink or tape around it.
@@bigslick yes, it's probably the settings being lost the camera will try to charge the flash by default. Not enough space for a supercap: I've bought a batch of these of the same size and voltage with the 614 from AliExpress but now I wonder if they're really just plain 614 being palm off as "supercaps". A recent supercap I saw inside a Casio swivel lens camera has a supercap that looks like a short electrolytic, maybe that's the minimum size. BTW, have you come across any explanation as to why they can't just use the flash capacitor charge to keep the settings?
@@himeccms893 The discharge pattern from the flash cap would probably damage the IC instantly, or at least cause glitches/corruption. If that would have worked, every manufacturer would have just tied the memory to the flash cap. Interesting that you mention buying the surface mount supercaps, I literally just placed a small order on Ali for a few of them to play with the concept. The electrolytic style supercaps are certainly legit, and I can surely mount a small size one (ie 1F value) in the same location as where I tucked the button cell battery.
Hey i wanna ask u a question, i have a camera and when i turn it on the green light blink and after that orange and green blinks together Also flash doesn't work and control panel too Any help? Is it firmware or material issue?
Sad, I used mine twice. Not even a year after purchase.
Yes, very sad, shameful Junk. Thanks for sharing your experience.
My tablet use 2 lines. But i bought new battery with 3 lines. How to connect?
This happened to mine today, battery fully charged and then I smelled burning I was using it on very thin short grass for 10 minutes. I bough this about 7 months ago. I am livid. I will call them on Monday. I sure as hell do not keep receipts but the thing has serial numbers on it and the know how old it is.
good luck but they are terrible to deal with, unless you are lucky enough to have a repair center very close to you.
Light use last about 2yr, got the same warranty issue with you! Did not consider sending over packages either! Good luck with poor warranty support..
agreed, you are 100% correct. TTI/Ryobi should be ashamed of this product, and the lack of a real warranty. They could easily accept warranty dropoffs at their Direct Tools outlet stores, but they refuse to do so.
Just bought some and within 10 minutes of use. 1 of the 3 burnt out. The other 2 were flickering. Pulled all 3 and they all had burning plastic smell. Not compatible with t12 ballast!
Are the new versions of this inferior? The ones I see mr Christmas selling now only appear to have 3 scenes and fewer moving parts?
they look inferior to me but I have not torn one apart
