What is chipboard, and why is it used for packaging?

It is board made from potato chips that can't be sold due to production errors. They are taken away by the chipboard people, crushed, mixed with PVA Glue and pressed into board. It is used for packaging because the raw product comes free of charge.It is the same as those Corn Puffs that as used as Bulk Noodle Packing, they are Cheezies that failed the grade and didn't get the Orange coating and the flavouring.

Thank you Steve that’s what I will do.

I see you have edited out your question to answer Steve. Clever stuff but I had already decided to answer it. The best way to answer Steve would have been to click Comment under his answer. A lot of people call a computer desktop case the Hard Drive, but it isn't it is the computer case. They have 4 screws to remove the cover and inside it the data storage device, the 'hard drive'. This is a hard drive for illustration. 61kfqcswnwl._ac_sx425_-undefined-undefined-0.jpg There are two visible Torx screws in the bottom left and right and two more at the top under those plastic stickers, and one visible on the left side centre. Plus there is one screw hidden on the right under that circle. One the case is removed, you will see the disc and you can destroy it. Here is one that shows all 6 screwshttps://webobjects2.cdw.com/is/image/CDW/7278435?$product-detail$ 7278435-undefined-undefined-2.jpgThere is another way, you can put the drive as a slave drive in another computer and format it, you can even overwrite is with 0 and 1s. Some people drill holes in them, people in the US take them to the range and shoot them full of holes. :>D

Canon 8800f: Doesn't light up at the on/off switch.Fuse at 13a plug ok.

If your Canon 8800F scanner is not powering on when you press the on/off switch and you've confirmed that the fuse is not the issue, there could be several potential causes for this problem. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you diagnose and potentially fix the issue:
  1. Ensure that the power outlet you're using is working properly. Plug in another device to the same outlet to verify that it's supplying power.
  2. Examine the power cord for any visible damage, such as cuts or fraying. If you see any damage, replace the power cord with a new one.
  3. Make sure you're using the correct power adapter that came with the scanner. Verify that the voltage specifications on the adapter match the voltage in your region.
  4. Try plugging the scanner into a different power outlet to see if it powers on. Sometimes, outlets can have issues.
  5. Ensure that all the connections, including the power cord connection to the scanner and the power adapter connection to the power outlet, are secure.
  6. Inspect the power button and switch for any physical damage or debris that might be preventing it from working. If there's an issue, you might need to replace the power button or switch.
  7. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there is a problem with the internal components of the scanner. In this case, you may need to contact Canon customer support or a qualified technician for further diagnosis and repair.
  8. In some cases, a hard reset can resolve power issues. To do this, unplug the scanner from the power source and leave it unplugged for at least 10 minutes. Then, plug it back in and try turning it on again.
  9. Refer to the user manual of your Canon 8800F scanner for specific troubleshooting steps and contact information for Canon support.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it's advisable to contact Canon customer support or a professional technician for further assistance. They may be able to diagnose and repair the scanner or recommend appropriate next steps.

What do professional office cleaners do better than if I just do it myself?

There are many reasons why you should hire professional cleaners for your offices. The most important thing for me is thoroughness and consistency. Yes, you can clean your offices yourself, and do it well, for a day. Or for a week. Or for a couple of weeks. But it is so hard to keep up a level of thoroughness and consistency for months and months. Not only will the exigencies of your actual job get in the way, but there will also be days where you simply don't feel inspired enough. That's just how it is. Apart from the thoroughness, there are still other factors that matter. Coming up with the right cleaning strategy, for instance. Anyone who is experienced in the field knows that cleaning goes beyond sweeping and mopping everyday. Professionals help you formulate a strategy for your cleaning that includes specific daily, weekly, monthly and even annual tasks. And lastly, of course, professional cleaners save you time and make your life extremely easier. There are other reasons, of course, but these are just my personal favorites.

Tascam dp24 with error message: writing failed... playback is fine but I can't record

There are a few steps you may take to troubleshoot and fix the issue if your Tascam DP-24 displays the "writing failed" error message when you're attempting to record: Verify the disk space on your device to make sure there is adequate room for recording. Writing mistakes may result from a lack of disk space. To make room on a computer, move recordings there or delete superfluous files. Format the Disk: In some cases, correcting writing errors can be accomplished by formatting the internal hard drive or SD card. When formatting, you should exercise caution because it will remove all of the drive's data. Before continuing, make sure to back up any crucial recordings. The internal hard disk or SD card must be formatted using a file system that is compatible with the Tascam DP-24. Usually, the device is compatible with the FAT32 or exFAT file systems. If the file system is not supported, writing errors could occur. Examine your file naming practices. If you have been using certain characters or symbols, try simplifying the names and deleting any special characters. Certain characters could cause the device problems when writing files . Update Firmware: See if your Tascam DP-24 has any firmware updates available. Updates to software can occasionally fix flaws and increase the stability of the entire system. Make sure the input connections and cables are secure and working correctly if you're recording from an external source. Writing mistakes could be caused by a bad cable or connection. Factory Reset: As a final option, you might think about doing a Tascam DP-24 factory reset. Remember that doing this will reset the device to its factory settings, so make a backup of any crucial information before starting. Contact Tascam customer service or refer to the device's manual for detailed troubleshooting instructions if none of the aforementioned measures succeed in fixing the problem. They might be able to offer more support or guidance that is suitable for your circumstance. Take Note: Keep in mind that the particular actions to be taken and the choices you have will depend on the model and firmware version of your Tascam DP-24. Always consult the user guide or contact the manufacturer's assistance for the most accurate and recent troubleshooting procedures.

I have a Men’s Fossil Blue watch that looks different than all the other ones!!

The Fossil Blue series, which was renowned for its sporty and informal designs, most certainly includes the Fossil Blue Chronograph 3-hand with date watch CH-2331 that you currently own. The absence of the "Speedway" label under "Fossil" next to the date display on your watch could, however, be due to changes in labeling and designs over time. The timepieces from Fossil are frequently updated with minor design tweaks or limited editions. The "Speedway" label's presence or absence might point to a different design or perhaps even a different production run. It is advised to get in touch with Fossil customer assistance or go to an authorized Fossil retailer in order to precisely verify whether your watch is a first production or a different model. They may be able to assist you in determining the precise specifications of your watch and its production timeline because they may have access to historical records and data regarding previous iterations of the CH-2331 model.

Titan airless paint sprayer is not getting power

If your Titan airless paint sprayer is not getting power, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:Check the Power Source: Make sure that the power outlet you are using is working properly. You can try plugging in a different device to the same outlet to verify if it's providing power. If the outlet is not working, check your circuit breaker or fuse box to see if a breaker has tripped or a fuse has blown.Note: However, whenever I get stuck with any sprayer, I used alternatives. The best alternative which I prefer always is graco model. You can compare graco vs titan as well.2. Power Cord and Plug: Inspect the power cord for any visible damage, cuts, or frayed wires. If thepower cord is damaged, it might be causing a connection issue and preventing power from reaching the paint sprayer. If you find any damage, it's recommended to replace the power cord.3. Reset Button: Some airless paint sprayers, like other electrical appliances, might have a reset button. Look for a reset button on the sprayer's control panel or near the power cord. Press the reset button if available and see if that restores power.4. Safety Interlock: Certain airless paint sprayers have safety interlocks that prevent them from turning on if certain parts, such as the gun or nozzle, are not properly assembled. Check if all components are securely and correctly assembled, as an incomplete setup could prevent the sprayer from receiving power.5. Circuit Breaker or Thermal Overload: Inside the paint sprayer, there might be a circuit breaker or thermal overload protection feature. If the sprayer overheats or encounters an electrical issue, these safety features might trip to protect the equipment. Allow the sprayer to cool down if it's been in use for a while and then try turning it on again.6. Internal Wiring and Components: If you're comfortable working with electrical components and have the necessary skills, you can open the paint sprayer to inspect the internal wiring and connections. Be cautious while doing this, as you don't want to cause further damage or void any warranties. If you're not experienced, it's best to consult a professional technician.

I'm reassembing a Kenwood Chef A901 Food Mixer. I'm defeated by how to reattach the red squarish knob that serves mincer attachments.

Reassembling complex kitchen appliances like the Kenwood Chef A901 can be challenging, especially when dealing with small parts and intricate mechanisms. Here's a general guideline on how to reattach the red squarish knob and spring for the mincer attachment on your Kenwood Chef A901 food mixer:
  1. Positioning the Spring:
    • Insert one end of the spring through the small hole in the middle of the lever shaft.
    • The other end of the spring should be positioned to rest against the inside of the plastic housing where it creates tension. This tension is what allows the lever to snap into different positions.
  2. Reattaching the Red Squarish Knob:
    • Position the red squarish knob over the lever shaft, aligning it with the spring.
    • Gently press down on the knob while simultaneously aligning the pin at the top of the lever shaft with the grooves on the gearbox housing.
    • Apply gentle downward pressure while rotating the knob slightly to align the pin with the grooves. The goal is to guide the pin into the grooves and allow it to slide into place.
  3. Testing the Reattachment:
    • Once the knob is in place, test the lever's movement. It should have a spring-loaded action, allowing it to snap into different positions as you rotate it.

Master Mechanic Drill Manual Model 211883

Jerry, Looked all over the net for a Manual none found. Probably because they're not that high a quality tool listing for 69-99$. A high quality Spade Drill will run anywhere between 150-399$. So it appears it's that when it dies buy a new one. Am sure the Manual that comes with it is pretty basic, with no parts breakdown. Sorry. Best to you.

I have a atlas gas geyser it won't ignite the gas I'd full with new batteries but still won't ignite what is the problem

Gas Dryer no heat: or shuts down soon after heating CHECK: Thermal Fuse If the air flow in the dryer is restricted, the temperature in the heating chamber can get hot enough to blow the thermal fuse. If the fuse blows, it cuts power to the coils that control the gas valve. The fuse is usually mounted to the exhaust duct just inside the back panel. You can check its continuity with an ohmmeter. If, after disconnecting the fuse, you get any reading other than 0 when you touch the leads of the meter to its terminals, it has blown. There's no way to restore it -- you'll have to install a replacement. Igniter and Gas Valve Coils TEST with a multi meter: The igniter is an electric conductor that works like the element in an electric heater, glowing hot enough to ignite gas when you turn on the dryer. This conductor can burn out, and when it does, it may glow, but it won't get hot enough to ignite the gas. At times it may give a reading of continuity yet fail mechanically and not get hot enough to ignite flame though it gets hot and glows and even may show Ohms or continuity ( close circuit) ? Occasionally, the Gas safety valve and the electric coils that control the gas valve are defective -- they can wear out when the dryer gets old. When this happens, the igniter glows, but gas never enters the heating chamber or does not stay consistant. Performing a continuity test on either part will help you determine whether or not you need to replace it. But the coils should also be tested for amount of resistance as well as Ohms. As they may be showing ohms yet not putting out enough resistance to keep proper gas pressure flowing. Most coils should show at least 1300 ohms ( GIVE OR TAKE 150 OHMS). Anything significantly less Thus u get an ignition but then it soon goes back out. The flame does not stay lit. Air Flow and Heat The motor that drives the tumbler also drives a fan that circulates air through the heating chamber and the tumbler and expels it through the vent. If the air can't circulate, perhaps because of lint blockage, the heating chamber overheats, which prompts the cycling thermostat to turn off the gas. The thermostat resets when the chamber cools, but the chamber heats up quickly and the thermostat again shuts off the gas. The result is that the temperature in the tumbler doesn't stay hot, and your clothes take longer to dry, if they get dry at all. Warning There's a big difference between a dryer that doesn't heat up at all and one that just doesn't get hot enough to dry your clothes. In the first instance, the problem is usually a defective part, and things should be back to normal after you replace it. In the second instance, the problem is caused by restricted air flow, and you need to clear the lint filter and vents and take steps to prevent lint build-up. If you don't, you'll use more energy for drying than you need and the dryer may continue to malfunction. Worse, you may have a dryer fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP1Z4OWjTuA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKLDrzXlzHM GOD IS GOOD !!!!
