These Jazz boards fail pretty frequently. The two most common failure modes on these boards

Circuit Fu - Reviving the Ancient Lost Art of Appliance Repair

Whoo-WEE, things sure have changed in the 20 short years I’ve been doing appliance repair! The appliances themselves have changed from discrete mechanically-controlled machines to computers that do appliance functions. But the level of skill among technicians has changed, too.

Troubleshooting tip for Whirlpool inverter-type microwave ovens with an F7 error code

There are two ways of producing this high voltage. The older, conventional way is using a high voltage transformer, capacitor and rectifier. This is a pretty reliable configuration and easy to troubleshoot and repair. The other way of producing the high voltage for the magnetron is using an inverter board. These are ofte

Hillstomping Update: Crawford Path to Mt. Ignatius with the Oz Man

Hiked up Crawford Path with the Oz Man to Mt. Ignatius (which some people still call by its statist name of Eisenhower) yesterday. Still plenty of snow below treeline but slushy to bare rock above treeline. Very warm at a balmy 30F. The video is a shot from Mt. Pharmuthius (Pierce) looking north to Mt. Ignatius and beyond and a pan from the summit of Mt. Ignatius.
