Sadly the vet phoned at 04:00 this morning to tell me that little Charlie budgie had passed away ...
Just got to wait now for a reasonable time to tell Dad ...
.......That I am a bit "miffed".
The £400+ AV receiver in the front room has broken, so no more 5.1 Dolby Surround sound.
A quick search online and I find that the brand has a reputation for the SMT components un-soldering themselves from the various boards because of inadequate heat-sink usage.
Bummer! I don't really want to buy another one right now.
I wouldn't worry, I'm pretty sure I int got dolby 5.1 hearing, like I int got 4k eyesight.
Why waste money?

Watch your blood pressure if you goin to be ogling the lady nurse!
And you would have laughed.I'm far more worried about going into the hospital and having to wait there amongst others who may have the walruss, than anything else. I think If I had anything that serious, it would have shown up in the intervening 20 years. And I'm pretty sure I was tested for diabetes when I retired, altho I am aware I could maybe have developed it since.
Tis bloody painful tho and the podiatrist reckons it'll take 3 months to heal up.
Course Wifey is furious as this will have an effect on the finish date of the utility room. (Mutterings about "get a man in", etc. FFS)
Will have to get one of those massive moon boot things, which might be fun. give me more of an excuse when I step on her toes!
Wifey came to pick me up with a bin bag on the seat as I "sat down in there".
Once home I got told off, as I left the bin bag in the car as I got out. "You take it indoors, take your "stuff" off and put it in the bag so I can wash it all and then disinfect the floor you dropped them on, and stood on." (in my socks).
My "stuff" is now in the wash and guess who disinfected the floor? Me.
Still no change.
Look on her face would stop a clock.
Thanks for the reply, looking forward to the pic.I must have missed your Q ?? We glued them in as there were gaps under them, (between the uprights).
We thought water would get trapped & may cause problems in years to come. They will be chiselled
flat (basically cut in half) level with the inner slats. If thats any clearer
The lower gate has been done already I will take a pic in the morning for you.
Think they look quite distinctive as they are! And they would shed the watter.
You know what they say, if you can't get rid of a problem, make a feature of it!
Glad it went "not too badly" for you and no amputation attempts were made.Bin to the orspicle.

My mother used to be a dermatologist.You can scratch it with a knitting needle
Among other problems with the job, basically lots of the conditions could not be cured, then.
She used to say that often they would dress some old burd's ulcers and tell her to leave them alone.
And in 5 minutes she have the bandages off and be digging around in them with a knitting needle (how did you know this?!)
Of course after a few sessions of this the leg got so bad that she had to recommend amputation.
So I think Wifey's knitting needles will be safe!
One Sat'r'di morn at Breakfast Club, our mate Geoff remarked on how well his foot was healing up, he had the big toe and the next two removed due to diabetic complications ...
And proceeded to show the photos from his phone ... That was funny ...
Gorrit open, nuffin obvious to be seen. No blown electrolytic caps, nothing clearly burnt/popped/fizzled or in some other way phucked, no loose wires or heat-creeped connectors......but it's toast.
HDMI board (obvious candidate) is a discrete board but.......... they don't make them any more.
Looks like it will be heading for landfill, which is a crime against humanity and ecology.
I am not the worlds best soldrerer, but would it be possible to get some F off big heat sinks and go over it doing the job properly? Or even replace the PCB, which I remember reading, on another thread on here, another member did for his TV and fixed it for a fraction of the cost?.......That I am a bit "miffed".

(I have a similar problem as one of our things very occasionally pops off for a mini second then comes back on. Just like a dry joint.)

Condensers, it's always condensers!
Well in my limited experience!

Get it on the bay as spares or repairs rather than binning it.
I didn't like the look of the power connections to the HDMI board so I tickled them with my electric pencil. Put it all back together to see if any "angry pixies" wished to escape (they didn't).
Now do I risk putting it all back in place and connecting my brand new TV up to it again?
