Air Conditioning: Won't turn on

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 16:58:56 -0700

I have an older Danby, which I keep unplugged when not in use. When I plug it in, it beeps and the display shows for a second, then disappears. The power button doesn't turn it on. Unplugging and replugging gives the same result, a beep and a quick display of the last temp I had it set on, then it goes off again. Power button won't turn it back on. I've already tried the test and reset buttons on the power cord, which appear to be functioning properly.

Korg B1: Korg B1 - specific notes don't work, problem with circuitry

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 06:34:39 -0700

Aloha all, I just purchased a Korg B1 digital piano with known issues. The keyboard sounds great but has specific notes that don’t work. Starting from the E after middle C, all Es, Cs and G#s don’t work.

Luckily, I found another ifixit post, the only place on the internet it seems, where someone understood why specific notes wouldn’t be working. Here is the link: ++"E" key and 3rd black key is not working.

I understand very little about circuit boards, but I was able to identify the problem immediately. C, E and G# receive and give inputs along the same path. There is an issue with the soldering on one of the *things* at the first E key, where the problem starts. See the images for this issue.

So, one of my problems is that I don’t know anything about circuits or circuitry terminology, so I can’t even describe this issue, much less start to fix it.

Can anyone help me at least put a name to this, so I can start to go about fixing it? It seems like a basic circuitry issue that wouldn’t be hard to fix, but I don’t know where to start. Any help is appreciated.

Treadmill: Treadmill Motor control board bad?

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 17:09:37 -0700

My NordicTrack treadmill will power up and start fine but after 2 seconds the belt stops moving. The display is on but will not respond when I push the buttons. Once I power off and on it will again start but only runs for two seconds. I have checked the magnetic speed sensor and that is fine. I have also checked all the connections. When I look at the motor control board the red light is on u til the belt moves, then it blinks and goes back to solid red once it stops. Do you think the control board could be bad?

The model is a elite 9500.

Shark CryoGlow Face Mask: Replacement batteries for Face Mask?

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 12:41:09 -0700

I was recently gifted a Shark CryoGlow FW312UK Face Mask and I'm already concerned about its long-term viability. For a product retailing at £299.99, the repairability outlook seems bleak.

The issue: The unit is controlled via a wired remote which houses the battery. To my surprise, the firmware completely disables the mask if the remote is plugged into a USB-C power source. You cannot use the mask while it is charging.

This feels like a massive design oversight (or intentional limitation). Not only does it prevent you from using it if you forgot to charge it, but it also means that once the internal lithium-ion battery inevitably degrades in a few years, the entire £300 device becomes e-waste. Shark’s own documentation states the battery is not replaceable and the warranty is only 2 years.

Technical details found so far:

Model: FW312UK
Battery Specs: 9.62Wh / 2200mAh Lithium-Ion (housed in the remote).
Charging: USB-C (3-hour full charge).

Has anyone successfully opened the remote yet? I’m curious if the shell is clipped or glued, and if the battery uses a standard JST connector or if it's soldered directly to the PCB.

Beyond battery replacement, has anyone looked into a way to bypass the "no-use-while-charging" software lock? Being able to run this directly from a USB-C power bank would solve the longevity issue entirely.
