    $900 for that fob? Thieves!
    3-M sells a flexible shield material with adhesive on one side that you can install on the inside of your fob tester to reduce RF noise getting inside. Part number CN-3190.
    Nice repair Alex. Thanks for sharing.

      Alex has answered this question before.
      He collects non working boards from internet like ebuy or uses the ones left by customers in non-fixable conditions buying them with his money. And some of them are donated boards.

    Hello, I'm from Brazil and I have a problem with my Seagate 2t external hard drive. It disconnected itself from my MacBook's USB port and since then the computer is no longer recognizing it. Additionally, the blue light no longer lights up when connected to the HD. I did a test and removed the part where the light is and connected it to another HD, and on this other HD the light blinks. When I enter the disk utility, the HD appears there with its 2t, but it does not appear in the folders on my computer. I have already used 3 different data recovery programs, however they freeze at a certain point without finding any files and it keeps saying that there are more than 100 hours left to complete the process. I'd like your opinion and, if you have Discord, we could set up a quick video call just so you can take a look and make an assessment. Thank you for your attention!

    @borispsalman 10 месяцев назад

    I just wonder how would you know that there is a missing component if you didnt work with the same fob before ? If i understand correctly you dont have the schematics available and ive noticed that some boards you've worked on have empty component slots where maybe a different model has components there but some more basic model dont have them. Honestly i find it crazy that with so much push from the governments and corporation for "sustainability", "ecology" and "zero waste" and other buzzwords its still not mandatory to provide the repair shops with the schematics from manufacturer, also i love that there is the trend of moving some manufacturing back from China to US and EU because a lot of times you might need some component that would become overpriced if you needed to order just one from China and it would also take a long time. I would much rather pay a reasonably higher price for electronics if this was an option. If the corpos and governments are so serious about the environment i can see only positives, lower transportation cost and emmisions, more readily avaliable spare parts, honestly lets be clear a lot of the manufacturing is heavily automated anyway so the cost of work is not as big of an argument as it used to be in past when the production wasnt automated almost at all. Can someone try to explain whats the problem with making the schematics avaliable to at least repair shops if not general public ? Do they really think that will protect their IP ? I mean i dont thing a hobbyist wont be manufacturing their own computers from scratch given that they have the schematics and the competition will find a way anyway, what prevents a competition from buying the device as a customer and then reverse engineer the shit out of it.
