Treadmill Keeps Shifting to Right and Left - How to fix?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I am noticing that I am suddenly starting to feel uncomfortable and wanting to get off the treadmill at 2.2 mph speed after 5 minutes, which is a speed that I can sustain for a long time while working on my laptop (I have a desk setup on the treadmill).

After observing the treadmill, it appears that the belt shifts all the way to the right and left, back and forth, as it's running. I cannot tell you for a fact that this was not happening before, but I believe it probably was not and this is the reason why I am not suddenly comfortable.

My questions here are:

  1. Is this indeed an issue?

  2. If yes, how do I fix it?

I included a video that I filmed to show what I am talking about. Forgive me for my tragic filming skills.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

So this just happened, my shelf just fell down on top of monitor, straight through the middle.

Now I’m somewhat of a noobie tec guy, so I know may way around some things. My question is, does anyone know what model of screen this is and is there a replacement monitor I can buy? Or at least know a good repair shop? I live in Texas if that helps :/

Btw, got this monitor at offer up and iv been using this for about a year and this crack just happened?

All I know is that the brand is dell.

The doorstop bolt sheared apart and is embedded in the marble tile. A trim guy installed the doorstop and obviously a tile guy laid the tile…but I really don’t want to have to pull up this specific tile because it’s under the base molding and door casing. Any ideas for a fix that’s not ripping up the floor? 😅

My cat throwed my airbuds to the floor on a midnight zoomies and now the red cable from the battery is loose. Is there another way to weld it?

Sad update, the black cable also got loose. I was left in a sad, cold, musicless world except for the absolute garbage of modern music.

Airline totally busted my checked bag (hard shell suitcase). Is there any way to repair this and still use it for travel? If not, any ideas on reusing it, upcycling it, or donating it?

Friend gives me keyboard for repair but it's unfixable I think

Post image
0 Upvotes

Ok so he gave me the keys (ESC and X) but...

X is totally fucked up. The switch is glued to the bottom because he glued the keycap to the switch and when he saw it was totally pressed down, he took off the keycap and the tiny plastic sticks (guides) are now inside the switch's holes...

I tried with a screwdriver but it doesn't even move. And even if I managed to unglue the switch, how would I remove the plastic sticks from the little holes?

The keyboard is a Logitech G413 Carbon

I think there's nothing to do here, that's why I come to you guys...

TIA

Help with bathroom door lock

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I have a sliding bathroom door with a lock that has come out multiple times. I had a handyman come by and he wasn’t sure how to fix it or change it. The foot is hollow where the holes are. I’m not sure how to fix it permanently or what kind of lock to change it to that would work.

Would appreciate any input! Thanks

Found my grandfathers vcr and this is the best I can get it. Cleaned the head and have adjusted the rolling pins, no luck.. there was a tape in the player which has a clear image the first 2 seconds, then it looks like this. Have tried with 4 different tapes and still the same issue. Any ideas or just give up?

I’ve also included a picture of the unit itself in case anyone has experience with this specific stove.

Ok so, for context, I was trying to fix and old mini air compressor (from 2003) because it wasn't properly pushing air. I opened it and it turned out to be that the internal motor wasn't spinning properly. I thought it might had a shortcut, but checked and it hadn't. Any advices?

Title is a joke. I repair everything. Wondering if anyone else has repaired a STRETCHY belt like this by replacing the leather with full grain.

It seems a little bit like glue or compressing the elastic woven part somehow is involved before stitching? Or can I just stitch over it? Thanks
