[10:49] Morning [10:53] Morning. [10:56] o/ [12:39] morning [12:43] Hey jackson [12:44] hello JonathanD [12:44] Hey. Whats up? [12:44] not much & you/ [12:45] Just getting ready. [12:45] Zoo is this weekend! [12:45] Be there, or be bear. [12:45] cool [12:45] http://geeknic.org/?p=159 [12:46] i'm north of Pittsburgh [12:47] jackson: hey, our elephants are there... [12:47] .\\]\ [12:47] you mind picking them up and bringing them back? [12:47] ok [12:47] lol [12:49] http://www.visitpittsburgh.com/listings/index.cfm?action=display&listingID=1537 [12:50] I've been there. [12:50] To the zoo, the aquarium. [12:50] and the science center. My son has the submarine tshirt. [12:53] cool [12:53] the sub is fun. [12:54] took a tour on a atomic sub [12:54] nifty. [12:55] too crowded [12:57] I disassembled an A-10 warthog aircraft even less room than a sub [12:59] ha when we disassembled the Gatling gun there were 3 round still in the gun [13:00] I need a model number for this washing machine. [13:00] open the lid should be there [13:00] thought so, is not. [13:00] gonna look on the back [13:00] what brand [13:01] whirlpool [13:01] what do you need [13:01] I think a belt broke. [13:01] I hope a belt broke. [13:01] how old [13:01] not sure. [13:01] gonna pull it out, brb [13:02] after 1985 it would be a coupler [13:02] pull it out 18" and tip back on it's rear feet [13:03] look between the motor and the gearcase [13:03] http://applianceguru.com/forum2/5427.html [13:03] seems similar, and I found that number on the back [13:03] jackson: I'll have to do that tonight. I need to drain it first. [13:03] Thanks though :) [13:04] oh is it front loader? [13:04] we have a rule in this house. [13:04] You don't call the repairman until it's on fire. [13:04] nope [13:04] ok [13:04] take the hose and lay it on the floor and let it drain [13:04] but theres too much water to tilt it without causing new fun. [13:05] yeah, I have a drain, I'll have to run something over to drain to it. [13:05] fun stuff to do after work ;) [13:05] I am an retired repairmen [13:06] morning [13:06] http://www.repairclinic.com/Washing-Machine-Top-Load-Whirlpool-Style-Appliance-Diagram [13:07] mornin teddy-dbear [13:07] o/ [13:07] JonathanD: http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Motor-Coupling/285753A/1195967 [13:08] JonathanD: if it is the coupler it still will be able to drain the water out [13:09] could be the lid switch [13:09] lid switch works. [13:09] I cna hear it attempting to spin. [13:10] then it shold drain out the water cause the pump is on the other end of the motor shaft [13:10] it does, but I didn't want it injuring itself further in the process. [13:10] put the timer in spin [13:11] you wont [13:11] the coupler of on the other end [13:11] is* [13:12] 20 min job or 110 dollars [13:12] parts cheap enough. [13:13] jackson: I can do it. No problem with getting my hands dirty. [13:13] letting it spin/drain now. [13:13] yep main cause is overlloading or not enough water [13:13] ok [13:14] follow the instruction for removing the cabinet [13:14] ez job [13:14] jackson: I have to leave for work but I've bookmarked both links. [13:15] Thanks for your help man. [13:15] just remember to set the cabnet back in the tabs when u reassembling it [13:16] if the tabs aren't up use a screwdriver to lift them [13:16] the set the cabinet [13:16] then [13:17] i think there is a youtube vid on doing it [13:18] o/ [13:35] glad I don' t have to fix my washer, today. [13:35] me too [15:47] * InHisName is thrilled washer AND dryer still working. [15:48] * InHisName has mixed emotions on analog tv still working fine. [16:02] hah [18:02] Got that laptop running debian now. [18:03] and the wifi is working [18:03] via PCMCIA [18:04] At not completely terrible speeds. [18:36] "not completely terrible"... [18:36] Well, it's 500mhz... [18:36] 256MB ram. [18:36] it is not fast. [19:06] hmm [19:06] no sound [19:14] Install a sound card [19:14] with a wavetable [19:14] :D [19:14] because wavetables are cool [19:14] a sound card where? :p [19:14] idk [19:14] ChinnoDog: it's gotta be onboard or nothing :p [19:14] I'm using the only working PCMCIA for network. [19:14] Is there an empty space for optional sound chip? [19:15] ChinnoDog: it has sound (under win XP) [19:15] seems debian bug 464191 applies [19:15] Is that an unsupported chipset? [19:16] looks like it was removed from later kernels. [19:20] Better compile custom kernel? [19:20] How long is that going to take on this "lovely high performance machine" though. [19:21] You only have to do it once [19:21] And leave out the extra garbage [19:21] ChinnoDog: this isn't my machine. It's a time/money tradeoff here. [19:21] Oh, I see [19:23] How much money do you get for making it work? [19:24] not enough to spend mucking with it for hours :P [19:25] $50
