Glass Cabinet's tempered glass shelves thickness

StuartLee2015 — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 22:40:06 +0800

I recently made an Glass Cabinet with 6mm tempered Glass.

4 feet wide and 6 feet tall.

Each glass shelves is also 6mm tempered Glass.

I noticed the glass sag/bend in the middle like 0.1mm? I placed a known straight steel bar and when i push the bottom part of the glass upwards in the center, the gap closes.
Do i need to replace the shelves with thicker 8mm Glass, to prevent sag/bend in the middle?

Tak Tak noise when braking VIOS

StuartLee2015 — Mon, 19 Jun 2023 21:18:13 +0800

My 2014 NCP150 Vios got soft tak tak sound when braking at low speed. Can feel at brake pedal most of the time .

Sometimes subtle, sometimes louder. Sometimes No sound.

anyone encounter this problem before?

Changed Rotor, Brake pad, absorber, absorber mounting, satay bush ( Both side of the front )

- Lower Arm bushing?
- Ball joints?
- sway bar bushing?

Please, anyone if you encounter such issue before?

Sent to a tyre workshop, can't find fault anyway, he just did visual inspection after lifting the car up on all 4 points.
Test drive a bit, he noticed the sound once, but then say ' it's nothing one, if got sound, always got sound '.

Panasonic 3 Blade humming noise when switched on

StuartLee2015 — Wed, 28 Oct 2020 10:25:10 +0800

suspecting old fan humming of old age (20 years+) , I bought new Panasonic 3-Blade Fan and installed according to manual.

but then when switched on, i can hear humming or 'woong woong woong ' sound .

the hook, the big rubber thing , screw all tight and nothing is loose vibrating.

is it the ceiling's hook is bad or?

4 other fan in my house, 2 is NEMC, one is kdk, one is panasonic (previous model) doesn't have this noise.

bought the new fan this monday only. 26 October.

BSH says not eligible after i got BPN

StuartLee2015 — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 18:33:12 +0800

Months later after i got LULUS for BPN of RM800, few days ago i received an SMS saying TIDAK LULUS for Bsh, ask me to go check on https://bsh.hasil.gov.my/

> I logged in, checked and it says that i didn't meet criteria for bujang, etc. What's this? should i ignore or what?

> https://bpn.hasil.gov.my/ says LULUS like it was back at april. i already received the cash aid.

My dad who recieved RM1000 BPN months ago also recieved the same SMS , this led me to believe many others who received BPN also received the same SMS.

Many thanks to those who can share what you think of this.

Rechargeable battery level on Logitech Hub

StuartLee2015 — Sat, 01 Aug 2020 16:38:40 +0800

I uses Panasonic eneloop rechargeable AA batteries for my both Logitech G603 and G613, and battery level is displayed in Logitech G Hub. The batteries most likely more than 1 year... not always charge it , so it shouldn't go bad this fast, right? the recharge cycle is a lot, i likely only charge it once a few months when the gauge is low.

The confusing thing is, the Eneloop AA when put in Keyboard, it shows 2 bar, when put in Mouse, it shows full bar. Full Bar is 4 bar.

Then i put 2 new GP AA Normal Batteries into the keyboard, it shows full bar.... same for mouse.

I closed the Logitech G Hub by ' Exiting ' the program on the taskbar , restarted my pc, open up the Logitech G hub, and it's the same scenario like above.

is the eneloop battery can't hold capacity like it used to be or just my keyboard going bad?
- I then bought another G613 , used the same Eneloop batteries into the new keyboard, it shows the same thing.
- To know it's not my mouse acting up showing full bar all the time when the battery's level is low, i used some old batteries that are almost out of power, and it shows 1 bar... so the mouse is good i guess.

What do you guys think?

Corsair AIO

StuartLee2015 — Wed, 29 Apr 2020 16:18:53 +0800

My current AIO is already 4 Years old... it's a Corsair H100i v2.

it could be i didn't pay much attention to it for all those years, but now i kinda hear faint zzzt noise from the pump... could it be an indication it will fail soon? Switching the pump to Performance can hear low grinding noise, but with casing's panel closed, i can't hear it unless pay really close attention.

Warranty is 5 years of course... but from what i see at, i think it's end-of-life model and replaced with H100i RGB platinum. Getting an RMA now is not a priority as it will take a while.... and i've got no cooler to go with if i sent in for RMA, and unsure what will it be.

I have two or few models in mind...

for Corsair , H100i RGB platinum, and the less RGB ver, the XT.

Do any of you have issues with those models?

Z625 Cracky Volume control

StuartLee2015 — Tue, 29 Oct 2019 20:18:58 +0800

So i bought a used Z625, at first it feel coarse, then i turn it, it would produce cracky sound .

After that, i followed the ' turn off, turn left/right for 30sec ' and that kinda fixed it....

but then, occasionally, there will be a little cracky sound when i adjust volume... then I opened it up and used Contact Cleaner on it... now it will really smooth and clean..

Do Potentiometer need lubricants?

Not sure how to lubricate it since it's sealed up.

Desoldering and buy replacement is out of league for me....

I need help
