I hate spam.   Hello Mike,   I have the same camcorder and I am having the same issue. Power on the camcorder and switch to cam mode and just noise lines no visible video. I took mine apart and was going to check the dc - dc converter per the below comments. Did you have any luck with yours?

Kit <Kit@Karson.net>: Oct 19 06:22PM -0700 Fan died. Replace a fan in a laptop.   New fan growls at low speed. Annoying. At high speed it just sounds like air blowing.   Why does it growl at low speed ?   Any fix ?   Something to do with the type of bearings ?   Anything to look for if I decide to replace again ?

Then if all looks good order a replacement fan as the one you purchased is likely defective. Contact the seller of the fan to see what their replacement policy is - assuming the inspection shows nothing snuck in with the fan!   John :-#)#   -- (Please post followups or tech inquiries to the USENET newsgroup) John's Jukes Ltd.

Jim Horton <jhorton@nospam.net>: Oct 20 12:33AM -0400 So I decided to use mineral oil once again for my HV transformer device after debating and even trying paraffin. However, this time I want to be sure my wires passing through the PVC junction box are sealed correctly so no oil leaks through.   The transformers will be inside a 6x6x6 PVC junction box (which takes up about 50% less volume than the prior box I used) and four connections will be needed:   2 low voltage 600 V wires for driving the transformers, and 2 wires for high voltage output (around 100 KVDC)   So, these four wires will need to pass through the PVC box into the oil and to the transformers.   In the past, I used two part epoxy to seal the solid wires on the inside of the box with generous application of silicone around the wire outputs on the outside of the box (I added the silicone layers because the outside wire didn't quite have enough insulation and sparks would jump to my hand sometimes... a bunch of layers of silicone around the exit points stopped this).   Wires are all thin 20 gauge solid. I was going to use the same procedure, using the epoxy to seal around the inside of the container where the wire feedthroughs occur with silicone layers on the outside, but maybe there's a better way? As I said before, when all is dry, the interior will be filled once again with mineral oil. The entire volume of the container will be filled with oil, so all holes with wires passing through will need sealed correctly. Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Network part 2 o #2 Bridge: Computer 1 ... sends traffic ... directly to computer 2   Even in _that_ article, the term "bridge" was loosely used. o Worse - I think - is how Ubiquiti seems (to me) to use that term! :)   For example, here is a photo of my "nanobridge" & "nanobeam" on the shelf o But, I always used them for exactly the same things (don't you?) <https://i.postimg.cc/0NYJn7mF/nanobridge-nanobeam.jpg>   Here's a closeup snapshot of the back end of the respective horns: <https://i.postimg.cc/905nFgxX/nanobeamnanobridge.jpg>   In terms of size & construction, they're relatively similar in that they both have similarly sized steel dishes (those are magnets in the photo below) & plastic horns: <https://i.postimg.cc/pLXCzFxC/powerbeam-nanobeam.jpg>   Which, kind of, is why I'm a bit confused about what's the difference o Between a "nanobeam" and a "nanobridge"   For now, based on your help, I'll call _this_ setup, a Nanobeam bridge! <https://i.postimg.cc/vT0Krpfc/laptop-nanobeam-horn.jpg> (More correctly, it's a "nanobeam bridge horn".) :) -- Asking fact-based questions of strangers on the Usenet potluck for decades.
