"Wilson F." <blitzkrieg.wilson@gmail.com>: Aug 30 09:28AM -0700 Hello I would like to help owners of DMR-ES20 to fix the known "zero" error. This occur due a failure on PSU section that can't provide correct voltages to other sections/modules. Is recommended replace 7 electrolytic capacitors (a cap kit) with 105°C range.   C1143 100uF 350V C1150 56uF 35V C1280 680uF 10V C1400 470uf 16V C1270 1000uf 16V C1260 1500uF 10V C1281 47uF 25V

I'm from the days when all you had was vertical and horizontal hold   Is it temporary (lotsa storms recently)?   I say this because I've had TVs that lost all sound and then turned it on years later and was fine.   I've owned tub TVs for about a decade each. I had two old freq LCD TVs (BW, 1") that lasted twenty. Prolly would still work if freq did       -- Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus blog: panix.com/~vjp2/ruminatn.htm - = - web: panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm facebook.com/vasjpan2 - linkedin.com/in/vasjpan02 - biostrategist.com ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

etpm@whidbey.com: Aug 29 10:14AM -0700 I spent lots of time in the Santa Cruz Mountains as a teen and up in into my early 20s. I can't even count how many times I drove or was driven on Hwy. 9. I loved Ben Lomond, Boulder Creek, and Felton. I remember digging for shark teeth. I'm sure happy you are doing OK and didn't lose your house. 1500 feet is awful close. If there was a fire burning 1500 feet from my house it would be burning my woods or my neighbor's woods. Scary.

They all have metal roofs on their homes, but with so much timber it may be pointless extra protection..   Glad you are OK.   John :-#)#   -- (Please post followups or tech inquiries to the USENET newsgroup) John's Jukes Ltd.

Corrugated metal roofs don't work very well with a low slope roof line. Also, I lived in a trailer with a metal roof for a time. I really didn't enjoy trying to sleep in the rain, which sounded like loud banging inside a drum. However, a metal roof is the standard recommendation for fire proofing a house in the forest. There are also financial considerations which I don't want to discuss.   As for brush, there is plenty around me. The house is on a steep 45 degree slope. The idea behind defensible space is so the fire fighters can being in equipment put out a fire. It gives them room to work. That's not going to happen on a steep slope. I'll probably do a better job of brush removal, but that's not going to be even close to the recommended 100 ft defensible space. <https://www.fire.ca.gov/programs/communications/defensible-space-prc-4291/> incidentally, my lot is about 50 x 85ft. With such small lots, 100ft of defensible space is ludicrous because it would require a 2 acre lot to fit a typical 1500 sq-ft house.   >A friend of mine lives in the mountains of BC and is a fire warden for >his area along with other residents. They all have metal roofs on their >homes, but with so much timber it may be pointless extra protection..   I have redwood decks located around the outside of the house in various locations. Should I switch to synthetic decking or more likely, a concrete patio? Maybe corrugated metal decking or diamond plate? No thanks.   >Glad you are OK.   I'm ok for now, but there are big problems on the horizon. For example, I had planned to finance my retirement with a reverse mortgage, which uses the value of the house for collateral on a loan. The problem is no loan company or bank is going to loan me money unless I pay for 100% replacement cost insurance on the house. If I fail to pay, or the insurance company cancels, they foreclose on the loan. So much for my retirement. I'll probably end up working until I drop dead just to support my various insurance policies.   When I bought the house in 1973(?), I knew about the risk of fire. Actually, earthquake was considered to be a greater risk at the time. We've had a few local brush fires, but the redwoods lived up to their reputation of being almost fireproof. However, the current fire had 100F temperatures and far too much forest floor debris, which caused the redwood to burn quite easily. There are were also 300+ lightning fires scattered all over the state. The odds of that happening simultaneously again are very small and might be sufficient to justify living with the risk.   -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

I don't have access to a working Samsung phone to test this.   Hint: Samsung phone model number? It might be amusing to verify the type of SSD used in the phone. Also, the larger SSD chips use a rather large SLC area as a cache, which drastically reduces access wear and tear in the MLC/TLC/QLC memory.   There are also apps that claim to do a "storage stress test": "Phone Check and Test" <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inpocketsoftware.andTest&hl=en_US> I'm not sure that beating up on the Flash RAM is a good idea if it's really that fragile. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
