100% on all points. I used to be a mechanic, and I DIY 99% of my vehicle’s needs (except windshields, tires, and full alignments - simply for lack of equipment). Very important to get the codes, because, for example, a P0456 could be caused by something as simple as a loose gas cap (95% of the time), or something could be wrong with the evap system.
Though I’m curious what car you had that tripped the check engine light like that… 🤔
You’re getting downvoted, but I work in the industry (GF, Intel, TI, TEL, Screen) and have heard horror stories from people who have worked on TSMC and even Samsung sites.
one of which is routine maintenance like oil (5k miles these days) […] On most cars, if it blinks when starting up then goes away, it’s time to change the oil. If it stays on, it’s past time and/or there’s another sensor tripping.
The “check engine” light will never illuminate for an oil change reminder. If the vehicle is equipped as such, it’ll have a separate “maintenance reminder” light.
It takes like 30 sec to diagnose at any auto parts store,
Pulling codes ≠ diagnosing
If you’re taking it to a parts store to pull the codes, get the specific codes and nothing else. Don’t listen to the parts store guys, they are there to sell you parts.
No… That’s the oil change indicator. Different lights.
Zip-up hoodies are the only sweaters I wear.
I, too, remember the times when we had to sacrifice a robot every time we wanted to connect to the internet.
NGL, that helped me actually understand the original function. It’s been over a decade since I’ve touched anything related to C.
Ramen shops figured that out already. Big styrofoam container for hot broth, lidded and wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, with the noodles and other delicious mix-ins in one of those sectioned styrofoam containers.
Come to Utah and meet a vast swath of idiot mormon engineers.
American here. Fuck Americans.
Oh god
Yep, that looks more correct. If you’re gonna replace it, might as well go for an IPS unit instead of the more common TN unit. Better viewing angle, better color, etc.
Oh shit, you’re right, my bad. I’ve been stuck in bed for two days with covid, not firing on all cylinders apparently haha
Was that the one where the entire screen moved when you pressed it?
Edit: wrong unit
Mine is also a N3DSXL. SNES model, specifically, so I feel your pain there. That said, I just found a top screen on Amazon for $30. Are you in a location where things like this aren’t easy to get?
I’d love a set of the Fairbuds, but they don’t ship to the USA 🫤
It’s not as bad as people make it out to be. It’s a bit tricky, sure, but just be patient and careful and it’ll be fine.
Right. It’s just hoarding, but it’s money, so it’s ok apparently?
Was it a Sienna, by chance? I have a 2008 Sienna with an ominous-looking maintenance reminder light.
