The raw audio for this video is actually 3 hours with Lexi spending several dozen minutes speaking to herself about the mechanical monstrosity they're looking at
They're a similar length, but she has an ongoing series called Lexplanations, where she explains stuff like this in every post. Only 2 episodes so far, but it's really interesting 👍
@@summonerofcats I was really happy to she she posts on her own channel as well. I've already seen the videos, but thanks for the recommendation anyways :3
me: *intentionally does a poor job with cables* Lexi: *insert pink lights and doom music* I need to have a word with... me: Prefect! It worked!! Look my organization skills are bad and I could really use the help . Lexi: *record scratch*....what? Oh is that all? Sure the first thing you do is...
@4:47 Nope... nothing to do with transfer roller... as a printer service tech I think it is time to replace the imaging drum unit assy... Black paper can be caused by these components: 1. Corona wire / grid assembly - bad, snapped, damaged wire. 2. Internal contact for the imaging drum assembly - internal metal contact point on the device that makes contact with drum 3. High voltage electronic board that sends high voltage charge to the corona wire is failing 4. In very rare cases, this can be caused by bad or not correctly calibrated magnetic roller assembly So the very first and logical thing to do is to change the drum unit assembly if it is a small printer of MFC like Brother or HP, or to change corona wire assembly if it is a big copier or MFP like Toshiba, Xerox, Konica... Once I was on the call and I replaced the drum unit assembly (Brother MFC) just to have a case like this. The drum unit was new one, but it had an failure from the factory - snapped corona wire. I was so lucky at the moment that I had another one new drum unit of the same type in my company van.
Woo! Lexi again! Was just rewatching a Tech Support video of some kind and I was looking forward to the next Lexi video. Hope you're having a lovely day, Lexi
Lexi, great insight as always. Informative and educational. I've shared your spicy pillow video with most of my friends as they have children. They also end up giving their old electronics to said children, and it inevitably ends up under the childs bed in a box (things like an iPhone 4 and other stuff about a decade old). Greg, smashing job with the editing, keep up the amazing work.
10:27 - the center is _usually_ positive, but not always. (source: I worked at Radio Shack for 6 years, and had to learn how to check the polarity (and voltage, and minimum amperage) for these things so we could get customers who needed them the correct replacements.)
I was raised by a TVA master electrician. They had him train to become one of their first network experts during the nineties. Its probably best for all involved that he isn't among the living anymore because they used to call him Hammer. Three guesses what he'd do to all the techs behind 80 percent of the content this episode!
8:39 Network guys: “So yeah, we have this garbage.” Lexi: [begins growling and literally glowing] Network guys: “Wait, WAIT we fixed it! See? All… nice and tidy.” Lexi: [pink vapor vents from somewhere around his neck] “Thank you.”
As a customer service rep for a security company, that fire alarm panel is what I have nightmares over. Specifically nightmares of store managers and fire marshals yelling at me about red tags, fire watches, and “we need a tech here YESTERDAY”.
Lexi, the thing with those glass top desks: To make the glass stronger, they temper it. But tempered glass acts like Prince Rupert's Drops when you break it. In other words, all the strain inside it from being rapidly cooled is potential energy, and when you break it (sometimes even just scratching it is enough), that potential energy is released in a way that tries REALLY HARD to turn all that glass back into so much sand. Except for specifically Prince Rupert's Drops, that potential energy isn't enough to ACTUALLY turn it all back into sand-sized particles, but it's very much enough potential energy to make a heck of a lot of noise and a very large amount of tiny bits of shattered glass. ...And that's why I don't buy into the whole "tempered glass side panel" thing on my PC cases. If they don't do the tempering JUST RIGHT on the side panels, they will EXPLODE like this table at 4:23 with NO WARNING OR PROVOCATION WHATSOEVER. I'd much rather get a case with a sheet of clear plastic for the side panel instead, even tho technically that's an "inferior" material to tempered glass, it's actually void of a VERY PROBLEMATIC failure mode and so for my own purposes if I absolutely have to see inside the PC while it's running that's what I want. But BOTH a sheet of tempered glass and a sheet of clear plastic will block all the airflow that could be going thru there, and I do overclocking (with as little RGB as possible), so for my purposes I prefer just a metal mesh side panel (or a solid sheet of metal that has less perforations in it, but still allows airflow).
4:10 That's a desktop PC, the tempered glass on the top panel shattered. Tempered glass once it breaks basically disintegrates into multiple tiny pieces instead of cracking or breaking into long pointy shards. PC will work fine but having a tempered glass panel break is awful in terms of cleanup and replacement.
3:05 the label over the socket says "Kopierer" ("copying machine"), so they probably have one of those corporate multi-function printers plugged in there. And if anyone decided to move that printer to the side... Great video Lexi, always nice when you do technical subs and try to explain stuff for people who might not be that tech-savvy ^^
Glass desks are for people with more dollars than sense. I used to have a sheet of glass on top of my desk, but that was to make it so things like solder come off easily. Under the sheet of glass was a normal wooden desk.
7:40 because the script when you call about your internet not working is: "did you try restarting the modem and router?" I suspected something wrong with the connection: but that probably requires a truck roll to fix.
this video just saved my day, heck, half my life. I had stupidly slow internet, like, my computer pulled 3 Mo/s on average (and that was on a good day), when I saw the post about the half-unplugged ethernet cable and you said it was super common, I rushed to where my router is, and just pushed the connectors in to make sure they were properly plugged in. 4 of them went in just 1 or 2 extra millimeter, and now my computer is pulling 13 Mo/s average. my average steam game update speed just doubled , AND I can watch RUclips in 1080p at the same time ! it has been years that I have dealled with this bullshit, never again will my movie be interrupted and will force me to finish it the next day.
7:38 Probably too many IoT devices taking up IPs. I've seen this problem in non-industrial routers; When enough IPs have been in use, it won't allow any new ones to connect. For some reason they don't free up the ones who've been used. Not even ones who haven't been used in week. This isn't *that* big of a problem if you use static IPs, but just about everyone and everything use dynamic IPs. A quick reboot of the router fixes it immediately.
1:42 HOLY SHIT ITS MY POST, i never thought i would see it here the cable wasnt exactly my entire network, it was just going to one of my APs the fix was running a whole new coax cable to the wifi router. i also ran a Ethernet cable to my room for my pc at the same time so i guess it worked out. "im surprised he could get through a coax cable" hes a pitbull... he could get through like 4 of them. lexi, i have a question. while i was under my house i saw some *_extremely_* old electrical extension cables, im not sure where they go or if they have power, what do you think they are there for?
9:50 How did you not notice the ATX PSU is just a PCB and a fan. It's not easy to take that out of the case, and it's not safe to use it like that either.
14:10 I'm surprised at you Lexi... You didn't even mention the fact the center batch of Ethernet Cable Ports all looked a little charred and crispy around the edges suggesting this thing either has burned or is starting to burn and thus, SHOULD NEVER AGAIN BE CONNECTED TO AN ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY!!! 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
3:30 Another possible reason would be that it's a commercial place, and the managers or whoever is in charge of requisitions is a stingy bastard and wouldn't approve even getting the replacement. Or they were in administration and the administrators wouldn't approve the purchase.
12:23 I say there’s a 99% chance this person was using lead free solder to install the switch. I was wondering why I kept burning circuit boards back when I repaired a few things at my parents house. Turns out, it was the lead free solder that they made me use! It needs ridiculously high temperatures and long holding times to melt. At university, we have the standard formula solder, and it’s so much easier to work with, easier than got melt glue honestly! Just remember, it’s not optional to use the fume extractors!
5:17 another thing this could be, people used to fax endless black void to companies that pissed them off all the time, get two pieces of black construction paper, tape them in a loop that runs endlessly through the scanner, send fax, you WILL run them out of toner and/or paper, and sometimes, their fax machine might even catch fire
8:50 As a part-time network technician I can tell you that this looks great but the first one is actually way easier to patch and check where the connections are going.
I'm reminded of something that happened in my house many years ago. For some reason the Internet kept going off at random and you needed to power-cycle the cable modem to get it back. I actually set up a timer switch that would power off the modem for one minute overnight and several times during the day. This was before the days when devices needed to have an Internet connection 24/7, and we had to be aware of the times so we wouldn't be in the middle of an online order or something when it reset!
3:37 i did this exact same thing when my it provider was switching to a new protocoll that required different conductors on teh phoneline to be used for the dsl connection but could not be arsed to send out a tech to update our tie in. so i ripped the old housing off and handwired the new connector myself. its been working flawless for teh last 6 years. they even managed to push a 100mbit uplink through it
3:09, that cable looks awfully flat at the bottom right corner of that pic. Cat 5 or cat 6 cable should not look like that. It's actually difficult to flatten cable like that. That makes me think this might not be a real thing. Or it is even worse than what is shown and rest of the nightmare is outside of the pic.
I think the "jesus cable" wasn't actually serving mains voltage over USB, but rather the plug contains a (cheap) USB power supply. Combines with an obviously damaged USB cable, this might be the reason it was charging slowly. In any case it's indeed time for a new, proper charging cable.
2:34 im going to coin a term for this setup: Naraku's basement. Refering to Naraku, he main villian in the anime Inuyasha, were upon the new moon he'd regenerate in the basement of his castle and he was nothing but a head conected to a pile of demon flesh, organs, and viscera. Mush like the pile of cables modules and etc in this setup.
The most simplest example is a cable with 2 plugs. (male to male) The name because you will probably die from it. I don’t know how to explain this one tho
@@bellablue5285 it serves the same purpose. It's just the German name of the part. It also roughly translates to something like "interruption free power supply"
I don't understand glass desks either, i bought one because it was the cheapest one, and two years later replaced it with wood just because i wouldn't wanna recieve the news that my monitor is destroyed by the 1000 little pieces of table all over my room that now need to be cleaned
Warm printer toner does smell really nice. Mom's a teacher and I LOVED staying at school after hours with her to help prepare materials. Printing class sets of stuff on the big Xerox. The pages came out so warm and smelling wonderful.
9:40 I love how being on a bed and a GTX GPU are the only things Lexi notices, not the completely unboxed PSU powering it all. This isn't just a Fortnite Player, this is someone who thought dying in game and dying IRL SAO style was a great idea!
Had to scroll too far to see someone mention this. It's like the person didn't think the PSU fan was enough, so he ripped everything out of the PSU and is instead using the PSU fan AND that crappy little desk fan to cool the PSU and possibly other components. lol

In the realm of IT, Lexi takes a peep, r/techsupportgore’s horrors make her look in awe, as well as weep.
the only safe way to do a 'glass top' desk IMO is poly-carb, it looks really close and its a lot more durable. I think.
Some of this should be illegal. Then again, some of it probably already is.
Not illegal enough!
Damn the guy with the naked PC on the bed at 10:00 probably has a death wish or something with that naked power supply in the middle of the picture
this is perfect for a 10am almond munching
1:42 HOLY SHIT ITS MY POST, i never thought i would see it here
the cable wasnt exactly my entire network, it was just going to one of my APs
the fix was running a whole new coax cable to the wifi router. i also ran a Ethernet cable to my room for my pc at the same time so i guess it worked out.
"im surprised he could get through a coax cable" hes a pitbull... he could get through like 4 of them.
lexi, i have a question. while i was under my house i saw some *_extremely_* old electrical extension cables, im not sure where they go or if they have power, what do you think they are there for?
update: we got a new router that doesnt need a second AP :D so i just routed a ethernet cable to my room instaid

Or they were in administration and the administrators wouldn't approve the purchase.
Lexi’s out here trying to explain why it’s wrong and my empty biology brain is just playing elevator music.
I enjoy how Lexi explains Tech and also manages to make it funny and entertaining! Now A little off topic 2:33 is my favorite point of this video!
12:23 I say there’s a 99% chance this person was using lead free solder to install the switch. I was wondering why I kept burning circuit boards back when I repaired a few things at my parents house.

@ 10:05 you didnt even mention that the power supply was out of its housing xD that is extremely dangerous
that was not a glass top desk Lexi. that was a computer case.
6:00 or so, i think were skipping over the fact that its entirely covered in spiderwebs too eughhh.
0:37 B-but what about the frayed cable on the left tho. 😩
5:29 Lexi, for this post, I think the pain they were talking about was the massive amount of COBWEBS all through the alarm box

4:20 the top glass of a computer case broke and fell into fan filter.

3:12 no that is not how you do a patch cable. You're not supposed to use a patch of tape to stick it to the wall.
1:10 What even is a Jesus Cable, in the context of IT?
A calble that make you see jesus (it kills you)
The most simplest example is a cable with 2 plugs. (male to male) The name because you will probably die from it.
I don’t know how to explain this one tho
Because you’ll see him if you use it wrong 1:14
Again though it looks like it actually just has USB 1:18
Fun fact: ups units are called USV (unterbrechungsfreie Stromversorgung) in German
That's a right mouthful. Is it still kind of the same sequence or do the component parts get ordered differently in German?

Warm printer toner does smell really nice. Mom's a teacher and I LOVED staying at school after hours with her to help prepare materials. Printing class sets of stuff on the big Xerox. The pages came out so warm and smelling wonderful.
