<roh> DocScrutinizer05: hm. nothing matches... well.. back to the seller it goes
<xiangfu> DocScrutinizer05: Hi, is the case ok for you? what should we do on the cases?
<DocScrutinizer05> xiangfu: sorry, still stuck at customs
<DocScrutinizer05> so I can't say anything more than a few weeks ago
<xiangfu> DocScrutinizer05: ok.
<xiangfu> is there anything I can help?
<DocScrutinizer05> well, probably not
<xiangfu> ok.
<xiangfu> let me know anything I can help.
<DocScrutinizer05> there been one tiny typo in invoice but that doesn't explain how customs cocks up
<DocScrutinizer05> I sent them a lengthy explanation of what's the content and where to look on ebay for faintly similar objects and their value
<DocScrutinizer05> thios been a few days ago, I hope it will finally go free now
<DocScrutinizer05> xiangfu: I'll ping you as soon as I know any news
<xiangfu> Okey
<DocScrutinizer05> maybe eventually I'll have to tell customs to contact you and tell them that you dug out those cases from your garbage bin
<DocScrutinizer05> but I doubt they would even bother to contact you, after all you can tell then no more than you already did in invoice. Or anything you like
<DocScrutinizer05> when they don't trust ebay, they will probably need to have some expert check the parcel's content
<DocScrutinizer05> jerks
<DocScrutinizer05> too many parcels from china, all declared as "gift" or otherwise fraudulent
<DocScrutinizer05> german customs gets pissed since years
<xiangfu> yes.
<DocScrutinizer05> next time we add more google searchterms to the content declaration
<DocScrutinizer05> are the cases re-assembled or in separate parts?
<DocScrutinizer05> IOW can customs dude see that there's missing the PCB?
<DocScrutinizer05> well, he probably could anyway when sliding open, there's abig hole where kbd should be ;-D
<xiangfu> in separate parts.
<xiangfu> but I put them together. for don't break when shipping.

<arossdotme> #got a 2.5 inch 12v +/- composite lcd but it's got a darn clf backlight. so it's a noise monster and needs 300ma ! when my 4.3 inch one with led backlight uses 100ma @12. i want to run it rom a little lithium batt. i see the clf is held sandwiched on top via some screw, could i replace it easily with a led one if so any quick suggestions?
<arossdotme> @12v
<arossdotme> this screen has a built in lift/right flip which means i can use it for taking selfys with my action camera
<arossdotme> which no other screen has
<arossdotme> or at lest small screen

<DocScrutinizer05> 2.5" CFL :-o
<DocScrutinizer05> dang that thing must be old
<DocScrutinizer05> "White LEDs? You're kidding!" ;-P
jekhor__ has joined #qi-hardware
wej has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<DocScrutinizer05> generally replacing backlight by another technology or design is *very* difficult
<DocScrutinizer05> ideally check out where the CFL sits and replace the CFL by a LED strip, with no more than 5mm pitch between LEDs
<DocScrutinizer05> then you 'just' need to figure which direction the LEDs have to face to - mind you a CFL is omnidirectional by design
pcercuei has joined #qi-hardware
jekhor_ has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<DocScrutinizer05> odds are your efficiency of new design is so poor that you need even _more_ power for the LEDs than for the CFL
<DocScrutinizer05> what do you mean by "noise monster"?
<DocScrutinizer05> EMI? or audio?
<DocScrutinizer05> if you meant audio, then there#s sth defect in the converter, which might allso account for the high power consumption
wej has joined #qi-hardware
<DocScrutinizer05> prolly the whole thing is sooooo oooold that the elcos fell dry meanwhile. Nothing unusual, and would well cause audible noise and poor efficiency
<DocScrutinizer05> also cheap crappy inductors/transformers/chokes can cause quite some audible noise and same time reduce efficiency
<DocScrutinizer05> impact on efficiency isn't _that_ much though in this case
<DocScrutinizer05> unless the thing gets saturated
<DocScrutinizer05> (= operating at too high current)
<DocScrutinizer05> then efficiency drops through the ground
<DocScrutinizer05> like: 200 of the 300mA would simply heat up the choke then
<DocScrutinizer05> decent SPSU have a controller that avoids such pathological states of operation. Simple cheap ones you can bet will suffer from exactly that on overload of output

<DocScrutinizer05> Ms Wurst uttered disappointment
* DocScrutinizer05 still waits for toilet paper with a e-ink watch in every sheet
<arossdotme> D ocScrutinizer umm i there i heard a little bit of noise but whats bad is it has a built in speaker but the noise the audio circuit picks up is awful. it's louder then the audio output from my camera
<arossdotme> i was suprised to see it uses clf
<DocScrutinizer05> pph, that clearly indicated eelctrolytic capacitors gone south, no?
<DocScrutinizer05> ooh*
<arossdotme> guess thats why it has analog brightness,sat
<arossdotme> nobes
<arossdotme> nobs
<arossdotme> btw know of such a thing as a composite limage flip? that mirror flips the image?
<arossdotme> so i can use the average little lcd as a selfy external monitor
<arossdotme> so you unput rac video and you get a rac composite output
<arossdotme> unput=input
<arossdotme> i guess i just have to use a bigger batt pack and lithim batt stetup conterver
<arossdotme> so much for a small light what screen for my tiny action cam
<arossdotme> what =weight
