etpm@whidbey.com: Aug 26 09:36AM -0700 I have an old Canon camera, model SD300, that I modified for taking pictures in near IR and near UV. The largest capacity SD card it will take is a 2GB. I bought 2 cards and took a lot of pictures and they were all fine when I looked at them later when I put the SD cards in my computer and tablet. The cards have sat around for about a year and now most of the pictures are corrupted. Fortunately I had saved the pictures I liked. Is there something I could have done that caused this problem? I am using micro SD cards in an adapter so they will fit the camera and my tablets. Should I just use full size cards and only view the pictures on my computer?

Too much to do for something that probably won't worh and won't help if it does). Trying 22.4 (the physical channel is 22) is ignored (on all t TVs I tried).     -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us/   "Religion is all bunk." -- Thomas Edison

Thanks.   A lot of surround receivers have a 12V standby supply derived from a small transformer on the board. If you look at the size of the one you need, you might find something very close in an old surround receiver. NAD, Arcam certainly used them, and I'm sure others as well.   You might also want to look at all of the pins on the old one, as you might have an open thermal fuse. On some transformers it might be possible to replace it. Sometimes it will take unwrapping the transformer tape to find it. I would NOT suggest bypassing a thermal fuse as a long term solution.   Regards, Tim

For posterity, here's a solution by substitution, although the sub may be just as hard to find in the near future. By wasting far too much time, I discovered that the Sony 1-448-852-11 transformer is the same as the Yamaha XA754001. Same size, footprint, and even the same plastic foot snaps. Perfect fit with no mods required. All is well.   John

This drive had been replaced with a similar 'new' HT/LG model once already, without results. The new Sony part is datecoded 2008, 'new in box', though it's obviously been rifled and reboxed some time ago.   The Sony DRU-190A had no issues, though it had me worried when explorer didn't seem to see a blank DVD. Installed software did see them and interrogated/tested. Labelled data DVDs were properly listed in explorer. Perhaps the older OS didn't normally list blank media - my memory fails me.   I'm staring ar 6 duff optical drives on the shelf - all HT/LG of the same vintage. 2008-2010. Half SATA, half IDE.   RL
