:) Soldering must be one of the most underestimated skills. It looks easy when an experienced person does it, but it's another story when a beginner tries it. This not the place for a detailed tutorial in soldering but here are a few tips: Make sure the surfaces to be soldered are clean and free...

I don't have a used multimeter and so can't help there. There are plenty of sub-1k models but if you can stretch your budget a bit, I suggest you go for an auto-range true-rms model. Auto-range helps you avoid the hassle of having to fiddle with the range switch all the time. True-RMS gives you...

@joy.das.jd Sent you a PM in the morning about our deal. Waiting for your reply.

Are you looking for a used multimeter or a new one? Do you have a budget? Do you mind sharing your skill level in electronics and/or electricals? It's hard to make a proper response without these details.

My son told me that the CPU fan in one of his office computers has become rather loud. I don't have details about the computer but it's probably an entry level Intel machine. This led me to wondering what cheap after market coolers are like. The cheapest cooler I could find online is the...

Thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with the MK270r. It's a nice combo and inexpensive for a major brand product. Problem is, the mouse doesn't have a dpi button. For the kind of work I do, it's very useful to be able to change the dpi on the fly, not with Windows settings. In fact, I bought an...

I've been looking for a wireless keyboard-mouse combo with the following specs but haven't had much success. If you know of a suitable set, please let me know. Keyboard: Essential: Dedicated keys for Power, Sleep, Calculator, Volume Desirable but not essential: Large Enter and Backspace keys...

I used to have a Nokia C2-01 for those times when I go out and want to have a phone without the size and bulk of a smartphone, but it was stolen from my house last year. So if anyone has one lying around, please contact me with your price - here in the thread or by PM.

I didn't say I don't use a phone. I said that I don't use a mobile phone much. I've always worked at home all my adult life. In addition to a cordless phone, I have extensions at strategic locations around the house. I have more than one reason for preferring a landline but I won't go into all...

I use the ruler practically every day for my work in electronics as well as for taking physical measurements of many other things. I used to have unusually good eyesight when I was younger but it has degraded with age (I may be the oldest TE member). With the help of a good ruler and my glasses...

I'm considering the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G for someone in the family. I don't use a mobile phone much myself and my experience with them is limited. On the other hand, I've bought nearly a hundred phones for friends and relatives over the past eight years or so. I've seen some negative comments...

Sorry guys, I've made a deal with the OP for the GTX 950. Waiting for the actual owner to get back home and ship it.

Thanks. I'll look into it.

Thanks for your interest. Yes, that's the exact model. But it's quite pricey, probably heavily marked up after importing it from China to the US. Different models with the same function are around $100 and something like 10k in India. Anyway, please check with your contact. One seller on...

I have a close acquaintance whose grown son is completely paralyzed and spends his days in a wheelchair. I've helped maintain his motorised wheelchair for the past several years (I'm in electronics). Now the controller joystick is worn out and damaged beyond repair but they can't find a...

You say that you bought this a couple of months ago but the purchase date is given as 2015. Please clarify.
