      @@wardfiction5693 You're probably right but YT still allow people to post videos of themselves doing ridiculously dangerous things e.g Sam Pilgrim recently posted a video (still up) of him riding a home modified bike with 24" circular saw blades for wheels. No injuries in that example but there are loads of videos of people hurting themselves doing dangerous things, the only way this would be different is because you "hurt" yourself on purpose.

Happened a lot to my Sun boxes (SS2 and IPX) - the ‘fix’ was to either take the drive out and do a quick 90 degree twist, or the preferred method (since it did not involve disassembly) was to pick the box up about 6 inches from the desk and drop it. The shock did one of two things. Started the drive spinning (yay), or killing it for good (boo). Had about 95% success rate with the drop approach.

    my dad had a repairman come out and look at it. and he found that the compressor
    had locked up, so he took it back to his shop, and jolted it with 220 V and UN-froze it .

    If the problem recurs, I wonder if you could make an enhancement to send a controlled higher higher voltage surge to it to perhaps kickstart the motor if it has gotten a bit frozen.
    I know it's completely unrelated, but I'm thinking of an additional capacitor they added to my house outdoor A/C condenser unit to kickstart the compressor with more "umph," which they told me was a good thing. (I thought I may have gotten scammed but this additional capacitor is in the schematic of the unit as an optional component.)

    I tried to mix 1:10 or whatever they suggest for using hand soap in these and they always clogged up in the aerator foam generator thingy because the mixed soap always seemed to eventually form thicker regions. I switched to the foaming soap which is more expensive and you use more of it (because you don't dilute it) and I haven't had another dispenser clog on me. Unclogging them sort of seemed to work for short periods, but once you mess with those foam generator 'pills' they never quite work right again.

    The motor getting stuck reminds me of when I was a computer technician in the late '80s. some hard drive motors would get stuck and to get them going again you had to spin the end of the spindle on the bottom of the drive that touched the grounding strap. You could then copy the data off onto another drive.

    • @bigclivedotcom
