- Sansa MP3 player question - 3 Updates
- OT: Sewing machine repair question where - 1 Update
| root <NoEMail@home.org>: Jul 19 01:09PM I have been using different variations of the Sansa Clip mp3 players for several years. Sansa explicitly says that of those players that accept a micro SD card, the maximum size of the card is 32GB. However, all the players I have bought will, in fact, accept and address 64GB when these devices are new. In my experience the lifetime of Sansa players is only a couple of years. The first thing that fails is the clip attachment. Shortly after the clip fails something happens to the the circuitry that recognizes the SD card. I thought the devices lost the ability to see the SD card. I now find that those devices will still recognize a 32GB card after once having been able to recognize a 64GB. In other words, it seems that the high address bit of the circuitry fails in a way that Sansa knows it will happen so they only advertise a 32GB capacity. Does this seem in any way reasonable? |

What do you reckon I should use to remove hardened oil from within parts? The only chemicals I'm thinking that could attack this effectively are ammonia & bleach, but am hesitant to use those without knowing if it's ok to. >NT For jobs like yours I like to use kerosene. Actually, I use "Lamp Oil". It's the stuff made for oil burning lamps and candles. I get the unscented stuff. I like it better than kerosene mainly because it doesn't smell bad. It doesn't dissolve hardened oil as fast as other solvents but then it doesn't tend to harm things either. Sometimes all you need is for the hardened oil to be flushed from the mechanism. Then there is this soft goo that oozes from bearings and the like. This goo can be removed by whatever is most convenient. After the lamp oil has started to flush the old oil out just follow with new oil. After you are sure the new oil has flushed out the lamp oil wipe up any excess oil that has run out of the bearing surfaces. Eric |
