This is more like I was like if this wasn't an abracame book, this is how this would go. It makes your spine tingle when he smiles like a soviopath.  Oh, I have to list it because it's him talking. Hey guys, it's Leanne and I'm here today to read some first Lafaynfic. Why am I doing this? Cause I think it'll be fun. Even if no one else thinks this is fun. Okay. We're gonna go with the first one that looks interesting to me, which is called an affair of the heart, which is about Sandan Glokta and Artie West.  When Sandan Glokta proposed to her, he had made it out to be the least of many evils, but deep in her heart she knows that love has its own ways. It is an affair of the heart after all. Eyes may deceive you, bodies may betray you. The heart speaks true. Artie West had lost her heart to the dashing Colonel West long ago. And when he returns as someone new, her heart recognized the man of her dreams, you know, Glokta. I mean, in fairness, I refer to Glokta as my book boyfriend. So I feel like this fanfic is for me. I've been warned that there will be adult content, including rough sex. So we may skip that. Artie leaned back in her chair in the dining room, watching her husband over the clutter table. He seemed to feel her eyes on him and looked up, an audible click in his neck. A wince. Then he straightened to meet her gaze. What evip that have you so enthralled my wife? He lisped. This is my opportunity to channel my inner Steven Paisie, and I am not gonna miss my shot. Artie held his gaze, swapping her wine glass between her hands. Sand didn't look away. Can I just say how awkward it feels to have somebody view Glokta's first name? Like, I know his name is Sand, and it sounds fine when you say Sand and Glokta, but just saying Sand, I really don't like it. Call him Glokta, you know, or Loverboy or Pumpkin. Sand didn't look away, but his left eye twitched ever so slightly. A single tear ran down his got cheek. Artie watched its path mesmerized. Her heart and mind heavy with good company and wine. She sat forward in one fluid motion and carefully wiped the tear away with the tip of her thumb. Lingering on the corner of his mouth and then tracing her thumb all the way down across his lower lip. His eyes were huge with surprise. After a month of marriage, he had not gotten used to her touch. Still, Artie did not retreat. The tips of her fingers brushing softly against the mutilated shell of his ear. A spasm ran through his body, but he didn't flinch from her touch, not yet anyway. His thoughts a mystery to her even now. I'll just say that this is kind of like, I remember when I got to this in Last Argument of Kings that they'd be together, I was like, if this wasn't an Abercrombie book, Baez would be like, in exchange for your service to me, Glockta, I'm going to restore your like virility.  And like, she gets to marry him now.  But of course that's not how it goes because it's an Abercrombie book and that's why we love it. Anyway, this is more like, I was like, if this wasn't an Abercrombie book, this is how this would go. She couldn't tell what he saw in her. The feisty younger sister of his best friend, who managed to get herself knocked up by a soon to be king, sand grunted softly, stretching his left leg under the table. His cheek now cradled in the palm of her hand, his eyes still intend on hers. In her wildest dreams, she had not dared to believe a man like him could fall in love with a girl like her.  You didn't think that you could score that. Girl, dream bigger. And yet here they were, sitting in their home as man and wife. And I mean, I was just thinking, I was like, well, maybe in this fanfic, he's not crippled, but they're like the second mind was him lisping at her. So he's definitely still crippled, but okay. Would there come a time when he would bear her touch? I mean, again, in last argument of kings, they kissed and this is a month into their marriage. So he seemed fine with kissing her. I don't understand.  He had become her best friend, her confidant. I'm pretty sure they meant to say confidant. This says her confident. And was still after all this time, the man of her dreams. Then a sudden spasm in her lower back made her wince and sit back.  Her body became thickler every day. Would you have a spasm in your back? I mean, I've never been pregnant, but after a one month of pregnancy, I feel like you wouldn't, but whatever. Maybe they didn't get married right after. He proposed, maybe. No, they'd have to, so that people would think it's his. Well, whatever. Ah, the pleasure of the human body. Oh, nothing for me to list. Her marked her husband, smiling at her in that way that made her spine tingle. It did not touch his eyes. Makes her spine tingle when he smiles like a Soviet path.  She gave him a withering look, which made him chuckle softly, his eyes dancing with glee. At least mine is a temporary condition she quipped, arching her back with an audible pop. Indeed, sand conceded. I was hoping mine was as well. At that, Artie frowned up at him. Life, you see. He paused, wiggling in his chair. It said to be short in the grand theme of things. I think they meant the grand scheme of things, but they wrote it is said to be short in the grand theme of things. That's not a thing. Pretty sure they mean grand scheme, not grand theme, but okay. Artie did not know what to say to that and watched with some horror as her husband made to stand.  Artie watched her husband walk to the fireplace where a cauldron of hot water simmered and a few rags hung from a nearby rack. Is he a witch? Then he moved around the table, his limp more pronounced now that the day was almost done. He was still a tall man despite his slight hunch. The body underneath his black robe all courted muscles and sinews. Yeah, I mean, he has muscles. His eyes as full of pain as ever, but there was something else in his gaze that she could not quite place. It would be best if you lifted your blouse up for this. There's a lot of us sitting at this all these then. After she'd done what he asked, her husband placed the soft rag against the bare skin of her back. Artie felt her whole body flush with heat, the worst of the pain subsiding quickly. She watched his hand on the cane tremble with the effort to stand, hunched over as he was. His breath warm against her cheek. Now she wished there was that kind of relief for him too. Even a hot bath every evening had not made a difference. Artie still woke her husband's screams of agony and it made her angrier every day that she couldn't do a damn thing to help him. She placed a sitting hand to his elbow. Better, he asked at her touch. Yes, she breathed softly. Yes, thank you. She amended almond after a heartbeat. You are quite welcome, he answered her, freeing his elbow gently but firmly. The warm cloth disappeared from her side and so did her husband. Artie almost winced at the loss of his touch. I mean, I know that this was tagged as having like really dirty sex, but I mean, so far he seems as incapable of that as ever. So, like I don't want to see the, the, the nis, but I'm very curious like to know how we intend to pull that off.  I mean, unlikely. In his eyes, he was a repulsive thing doing what had to be done until he was. What? Until he was what? In his eyes, he was a repulsive thing doing what had to be done until he was. Now what does that mean? Don't you love me at least a little? She found herself asking his retreating form. Sand stopped, frozen in place. Then he turned. Is that the romantic in you speaking, he mocked her. Artie held his gaze, her hand unconsciously moving to her growing belly. Sand watched her movement with hawk's eyes. I see, he whispered. He sucked at his gums where another might have worried their bottom lip between their teeth. Artie shook her head. Shook her head? And stood slowly from her chair. Her husband did not move from his spot when she walked up to him. Or her husband didn't move from his spot when she walked up to him. That there shouldn't be a comma there? I really shouldn't be copy-editing or proving this is fanfic. No, you don't, she hissed into his face.  Sand's face twitched. His body going rigid with pain. They meant rigid, but they wrote rigid, okay. I have loved you half my life since I first saw you fencing down in the yard with my brother. She thrust her chin up, staring. Well, she wrote starring, but staring into his eyes all the while.  Because I am going to stay. You asked me to marry you. Remember? Artie, he said in a cold voice and gripped her elbow tight, his cane clattering to the floor between them.  His words were cold, lifeless, almost Artie shivered. Her free hand came up to his strained face. He died in the crooked ribbon. I am not him. Sand's eyes were intent on hers, yet he did not flinch from her touch. I am not the man you claim to have loved once. There's nothing to listen to that. I'm so disappointed. Once? Once. I'm not the man you claim to have loved once. What? She asked, laughing right into his face, because you lost half your teeth and a few toes. He lost considerably more than that. She stared at him, he glowered back.  I mean, yeah, that's it right there.  Because you're going around torturing people, I mean, there is all of that. I fit mostly, he sneered back. But thank you for your very graphic description of my whole thorny life. There was a sting to his words. I told you that I was not what a girl like you wanted in a husband. Who are you to decide what I want? They glared at each other. There's a lot of blaring going on. What do you want? He lisped after a pause. Uh-uh, he did not lisp that after a pause. There are no Ss in what do you want? You can say that in just no problem. What do you want? He lisped after a heavy pause. You, she'd almost screamed. I want to share a bed with my husband for instance. For instance? Sand chuckled mirthlessly. So you want to wake up covered in my filth every morning? It's vetted. I already gripped the back of his elbow so that their forearms were locked together. This is a marriage you initiated, she reminded him, cooling. You had your reasons for asking me. I had my reasons for the answer that I gave. You were there when no one else would have me. I respect you, Sand.  But I won't spend my nights in a co-sleeper. If you want my body so bad, have it, he sneered back. You bathed me, you moved me.  Yes, she'd almost, almost whispered, I love you. These three words from her froze him up for good. Why echoed in her mind? Why would you? Artie steeled her grip on his elbow and gently moved him back to the tape before she went to gather his cane. Without another word, she thrust it into his hand and left the room. Okay, well, they haven't started banging yet. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, well, we're not gonna read this sexy times, but this typo made me laugh. Oh, I have to list it, because it's him talking. You want to have me inside you so desperately that you try to goat me with the words of love? I think she meant goad, not goat me with words of love. Anyway, yeah, so then they get it on. Okay, that wasn't as amusing as I hoped. We must do better. Okay, what do we have? Logan and Farrell. We have Sandan, Glokta, and Artie again. What I really want to find is Logan and Giselle. I'm really hoping for that. Oh, oh no. There's a lot of Orso and Jappo. Glokta and Artie, Glokta and Artie. More beer and day. Monza and Kahl. Okay, here's first of all crossover fanfic with a song of ice and fire. Ooh, Column West and Sandan Glokta. I have not been able to find any Logan and Giselle fanfic, but I have found another Artie, Glokta one, where he gets her to help him with torture. It's called Confessions. Artie, I wonder if you might be able to do me a favor today, Sandan Glokta said to his wife over the breakfast table one morning. Depends on what it is, Artie replied. She sipped a cup of tea and frowned down at an open book on the table she had been idly reading. Right, well, I have a relatively simple routine interrogation to carry out, but Practical Pike is ill. There are other practical, I could use, but. Artie looked up from the book, a flash of understanding in her eyes. You don't trust them, not after what happened with the last two. Exactly. And when we were so, and when we were so unfortunately bereaved of the last two bereaved, you can't be bereaved of someone. You showed a thinning aptitude for the job yourself. You want me to come to work with you today to substitute for Pike? I want you to consider it if you don't object to leaving Thavine with the servant for a while. And what she leaned forward across the table, her book and beverage apparently completely forgotten. Glokta hesitated, unprepared for how quick she had been to agree to his carefully worded proposal. She's almost too eager. I suppose she must get bored sometimes at home taking care of the baby while I'm at work. Well, I might work when he's talking about being a torturer. But also by this point, Glokta is in charge. Like it'd be unlikely that he'd be, you know, doing the stuff himself because he's got people for that. Okay, I read out of it and after she does some torturing with him and is quite good at it, she starts giving him a handy, which I don't think is possible. Pretty sure he doesn't have that equipment anymore. I guess in fanfic, that would be the thing they change, isn't it? But she's doing this to prove a point that he enjoys torturing as much as she does. I don't know where I expected this to go. That's, I should have expected that. That's on me. Oh, there's one called, you've got whatever's left of me to get. I think it would have been better if it had just been called, you've got whatever's left of me and not said whatever's left of me to get. But it's tagged with light bondage trauma, pregnancy, married couple and Glokta and Artie. Scenes from an unexpectedly happy marriage. There is a fanfic of Glokta's mom meeting Artie and the child called Mother knows best. I'm a little too excited about this. I hope it's genuinely good. Sande and Glokta, the most hated, feared and powerful man in all of the union was sat up in bed, leery eyed, body throbbing with pain, silently cursing himself for whatever bastard, shred of compassion it was that had compelled him to marry Artie West. Here, she's been fed so she's settled down a bit.  Okay, here, she's been fed so she's settled down a bit. Unable to do a little more than blindly hold open his shaking arms, Glokta accepted the infant in question. The infant in question. This just sounds so like detached and technical.  They heard Artie hustle around their room. Like it's bustle, not hustle, to the wide window and winced when the sunlight filled the room. Blinking at it, he found himself staring into the wide blue eyes of Savine Dan Glokta. She gurgled up at him, clenching her little fist into his bed clothes and he cursed as a spasm of pain knife down his spine. Yeah, I'm kind of liking this. Cursing in front of the baby, she tutted, presumably Artie, not Savine, straightening her bed. Starting early on that corruption, aren't you? Of course, he hissed, what time of it? So about 6.30, high time we can get you ready and out of bed. Do your sheets need changed? Need changed? That's a huge pep of mine. It's not, that's, need to be changed. Miraculously, you know, but why? Do you need me to bring you anything? How's the pain this morning? Maybe bring me an aspirin.  Well, that's good. Up up then, the baby was picked out of his arms and placed on her mother's bed. Artie made a move to grab him and haul him out of bed a little rougher than her custom. Manhandling, he would call it, but not suffer it. He pushed at her until she stopped to look at him. Woman, pray tell.  She frowned. It's today, she's coming today. Oh, that explained it then. The dread dame, Cardelia Dan Glockta comes calling upon her recently promoted son and his new family. Come to inspect that the new lady Glockta and issue are acceptable to the breeding line.  Nothing you can do or say will impress her. Save the fact that you married me and had my child, supposedly. But then Glockta was definitely not the type of man to mention such a thing aloud. And Artie was, as always, willing to go along with the truth. It had saved her life after all. Even then, she will still find fault. The sad truth of it, I'm afraid. I know, but I still have to try and make some kind of impression. Very commendable. He accepted his cane from her and braced himself to stand. But you really needn't get yourself so worked up over her opinion. Whether it'll be that you're calm, blah, blah, blah, blah. Let's meet mom already, okay? Asking him if he's jealous of the baby suckling at her breasts. Should have expected that. Okay, mom's carriage is in the yard. Glockta flicked his wrist carelessly and the boy dipped his head in a couple of spasmodic bows and ran from the doorway. I think somebody had a word at the day calendar and found spasmodic. But that was the boy that announced Dame Glockta arriving. And I don't think Glockta would be able to flick his wrist cause you know, pain. Where's mom? Where's mom? Dame Cardelia Dan Glockta stood as tall as her son had been but was as stout and strong as he himself as he was himself now shriveled and bent. She had a square jaw and a handsome face but the grim line of her mouth made her look all the more dour. She wore an immaculate traveling coat made of the finest spun wool money would buy. Finest spun wool money could buy. No doubt it smelled of dog as much as it looked so fine. There were however no actual dogs in sight. I might have skipped over where we said she had dogs. Ah, mother, you look healthy. She ignored him. Imagine my surprise when I heard you had not only become engaged but married and with a child on the way. I'd like you to do that. Imagine, but yourself in my, put yourself in my place if you can.  She strode toward him, her voice even and high. Her eyes fixed to some unknown space just above him. The shock I felt at not being involved in any part of the process. The spacing question turned out to be the mantle of the unused fireplace just behind him. He didn't bother to turn. The pain in his spine wouldn't have been worth it. Instead, he met Artie's fearful eyes and winked. His other eye began to twitch.  He sighed and rocked his neck to pop the vertebrae there. When he turned his head, he was met with his mother's hand in his face outstretched finger placing some unknowable blame. Dust on the mantle piece, she tutted. There was no actual dust on her finger as far as he could see, but she wiped it off on her coat all the same and no firewood kept nearby. Well, you know how it hit the mother. Hard to find competent help to keep a health hold this large. The titiline estate was inherited from my predecessor. His health was not. One should think the salary of the architecture would more than compensate for the hiring of such help to keep the fireplace in such a disarray shows very badly on the part of the host. It's, oh, that's Artie talking. Sorry, I'm overzealous on the list. It's summertime. Artie, having chosen to speak for the first time, went, was then the center of the room. Up until that point, Glockta had noted with no great surprise that his mother had not even dared to look her way. No point in it, really, she shrugged. The dame made a noise, not unlike a wasp in the back of her throat, sharp and high. She said nothing. How would you make that noise? Like, how do you make a sharp high noise in the back of your throat? She said nothing but stood beside Glockta's chair. Still as though they operated with one agenda to glare at the offensive vermin in the room. He smirked at the look on Artie's face and settled back into his comfortable chair eager for the show. I don't know how much sand wrote to you, but I'll start with the basics. I'm the former Artie West of England. Not Dan. My brother was a good friend of sand's. He served in sand's regiment in the Girkish War. My brother was the late Lord Marshall West, actually. No quaver held her voice. That's, there was no quaver in her voice. Her voice held no quaver. No tears built in her eyes. To his never-ending amusement, she had even thickened her accent somewhat. Good girl, let the old hag have it all in one go and choke on it for all I care. I know who you are, girl. I had the pleasure of meeting your brother once. It didn't sound like she had found it pleasurable, but on the whole, little did please her. I found him acceptable, acceptable. Very generous praise indeed from the woman who had less than acceptable puppies drowned. I seem to recall him being turned away from seeing sand following his return home to Agua. Column was very put out. Okay, I've read on. And there's a bit of, you know, back and forth between Artie and mom and Savine gurgling. But here's, I guess, the punchline. Oh, by the way, mother, I had wondered, where are your dogs? You usually don't go anywhere without a pack of the beef. She hummed her eyes closed in rapture. She pressed her nose into baby Savine's hair. My man, Ravos, will be taking care of my kennels in the foreseeable future as I'm going to be staying with my granddaughter. Glockton nearly choked on his own spit, flecks of it flying out of his mouth as he coughed out. What? Artie slapped his back none too gently a couple of times. Almost he felt she was taking revenge on him for his mother. Of course I must stay, she said.  I only want to help to ease your burden. And of course, to get to know Savine. Isn't that right, my darling? Help? This was an accursed nightmare. He'd almost rather retort her again and have his mother's help. He felt Artie's hand clench on the back of his shirt uncertain.  Oh, he heard Artie breathe. I forgot to burp her, I'm afraid, she said with a note of amusement. A very entertaining accursed nightmare to be sure. That wasn't half bad. So what I've learned from this experience is that there is not nearly enough first law fanfic and there isn't any Giselle and Logan fanfic. And I know a certain somebody will be very upset to learn this. Hashtag brokings forever. Let me know in the comments down below if this was fun at all for you, if you'd like me to do something like this again ever or never ever ever again.  Oh well. Whatever you want to let me know. I post videos on Saturdays, other random times as well, but I think Saturday is so like and subscribe. Join my Patreon if you feel so inclined and I'll see you when I see you. Bye.


Look at the burning fields. These are the common images around the villages of Punjab. And this is occurring during the autumn season. Now what is this? This is called stubble burning. The residue crop stubbles are burnt trying to quickly make way for the sowing of new crops for the next ravi seasons. What happens because of this? It causes pollution which results in excessive smog over the Delhi in the winter seasons. And the burning of paddy straw increases the soil temperature causing soil infertility. So what is done to control this? The government took new initiative like Pusa rice decomposer. This decomposes the stubble making it into manure in 20 days. And then government is trying to make farmers use short duration rice varieties like PR 121, PR 126 to stop them from going for stubble burning for the re-cropping. And to know more about stubble burning click the link in the description.


Greetings pocket computer friends. Here's what you're going to need in order to replace the LCD on a TRS-80 PC3 or its equivalent, the Sharp PC1250 series. You're of course going to need your pocket computer with bad LCD. You're going to need a replacement LCD, which you can get in the link below. You're going to need a set of small pliers, a set of precision screwdrivers, some tweezers, some cotton wool buds, also known as Q-Tips in the United States. You're going to need two fresh CR2032 batteries, a plastic ziplock bag, some latex or nitrile gloves, IPA or isopropyl alcohol, 99.9%. Some acetone, a glass container for the acetone. Acetone eats plastic, so you're going to want to stay away from those Tupperware containers. And some lint-free tissues. Here I'm using chem wipes. Okay, so the first thing we're going to do is test the device to make sure that everything except for the LCD works. Because if something else is broken and you replace the LCD, well, you've still got another problem and you may not actually get a display on the LCD. So let's test it first. So turn it upside down and you'll see that there are these two screws that you will need to remove. So hinge the case up like this and then release it from its tabs. And you'll see this nice diagram for the battery compartment. So in order to get the batteries out, if there are any batteries, you're going to simply press on the battery compartment cover forwards and then you can lift it. Now, if you've already got batteries in there, you probably just want to take them out and replace them with fresh batteries. Because again, if you don't know that those are fresh batteries, you may still have a problem. So put one battery in positive side up, the other battery in negative side up. Replace the cover by pressing down and pulling towards you. And then you don't actually have to replace the cover at this point because you're going to need it off for the next steps anyway. So turn it around and put it into the run position and type beep 2, B E E P 2 and hit enter. And you should hear two beeps. Now, if you don't turn the machine over and push this little recess over here, which is the reset switch. You can see that is labeled below all reset. So that goes here. Just push it in, turn it off, turn it back to the run position and just try again. And if you can't get it to beep, try the reset again. And if you still can't get it to beep, make sure that the switch is in the run position. And if you still can't get it to beep, then you've probably got another problem in which case replacing the LCD will help to replace the LCD. But you've still got some other problems to deal with. Next, we're going to remove the batteries. Now, the next thing that we're going to do is remove the screws from the memory module. So there are three screws and they're the same size as the screws holding the back on. So there's no need to keep them separate. And now you can lever the memory module out and it may require a little bit of persuasion. So there's the memory module and these contacts are where the elastomeric strip goes in order to make contacts. So you're going to want to clean that eventually when we put the unit back together. And there is the elastomeric strip right over there. So the next thing is to remove the screws from the plastic backing. So this unit only has one screw but other units may have more than one screw. And then you're just going to, you may have to lever it out a little bit. But hinge it up and then just pull gently on it and eventually it'll come out. Now, don't yank on it because the speaker is connected to it and the speaker wires are right over here. And if you bend it back and forth the wires may come loose in which case now you've got a soldering job to do. Okay, so that's that part. So next what we want to do is lever the entire PCB out. Again, hinging it forward and now be careful because you don't want to drop anything. Especially not this part which contains all the keys and they're all loose. So if you hit this and the keys go flying, well, I hope you took a picture of the way the keys were on the keyboard. Okay, so now this is the unit here. So we can pull off this rubber keyboard device and we can place that over on top of the keys. And these are the contacts for the keys and you can clean those later as well. And these are the contacts for the switch which are usually a little bit corroded and we can clean those as well. So now we need to get the LCD off. So the way to do that is, again, carefully move the back away. Now there are eight tabs holding the LCD bezel in place. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. There are also tabs on the side. There's one tab and the other tab is just under this dial, just under the contrast dial. Those aren't bent over so you don't need to worry about them. So in order to take it out, what we're going to do is very carefully stick a small screwdriver underneath the tab and carefully bend it upwards. And you want to be a little bit careful, especially around the area where there may be some traces. Because if your screwdriver slips and goes across those traces, well now the traces may be broken. And then you've got another little soldering repair job to do. Be especially careful around this area because there's a processor here with pins and there are other traces around it. And you might want to use an even smaller screwdriver for that. Okay, so now we've levered all eight tabs so that they're pointing up. Now to remove the LCD, simply flip the unit over and then get your screwdriver again. And we're simply going to pry gently at the bezel from one of the sides. Or from the bottom maybe. And it's going to be a little bit sticky. Okay, and just lever both sides up because again it's going to be a little bit sticky. Okay, so that's it removed. And again, these are the contacts that touch the elastomeric strips in the LCD, which make it work. So we're going to clean that when we put the unit back together. Now we can place the PCB aside and now all we have left is the LCD itself. So we're going to take the tweezers and I'm just going to take some lint-free towel just to get that ready. And what we're going to do is we're going to pull the elastomeric strip off. Now it may have been left on the PCB, but in this case it's in the LCD compartment. So let's just pull it out. Again, it's sticky. So just pry it up from one of the sides and just peel it right off. You're going to need it, don't lose it. Same thing with the other elastomeric strip. Now I'm handling this literally with my hands because we're going to clean it later. But right now we don't need to clean it. Okay, so what we have left is the bezel and the LCD. And there's actually a plastic top on top of this that we're going to remove. Now you can't just take the LCD out because it's actually stuck down to the bezel with adhesive. So what we're going to do is we're going to place the LCD in the plastic bag, pour acetone into the bag enough to cover the LCD, put the bag in a container so that if the acetone leaks out, it doesn't go all over the place and melt other things. And then we're going to leave it there for about an hour or two. And what that will do is it will loosen up the adhesive enough so that we can press the LCD out of its bezel. And now we just start a timer for an hour or two. You can check after an hour to see if you can gently press on the LCD to get it to come out. If it doesn't seem to come easily out, just wait for another hour. Okay, it's been about an hour so let's go ahead and see what we've got. So we do have one piece of polarized film which we will not need because that is integral to the new LCD. So I'll just set it aside. Okay, I'm just going to push gently to see how loose this is and it's really not very loose at all. So I'm just going to leave it in here for another hour and come back later. Okay, another hour has gone by. Let's see where we are now. Okay, it's loose or it's loosening a little bit. It could probably stand to be in there for another hour. The edges are actually flexible but the middle of it is not yet. So the acetone hasn't really penetrated to the center over here. So I'm just going to leave it in for another hour. That would be three hours total. Alright, so it's been another hour. Let's see what we've got. Okay, this came off quite nicely. So usually what happens is, first of all we don't need this LCD anymore because it's dead. So usually what happens is you will see a strip of adhesive on both sides of the bezel. You can leave it there or you can scrape it off either way. It doesn't really make that much of a difference. On the top there is another strip of adhesive which held the top polarization strip and you don't need that. So I would definitely recommend that you just clean that off. Now we're just going to set this aside and you can dispose of this down the drain with plenty of water. Now the next step is to clean up the contacts here. So we're going to take our isopropyl alcohol and a Q-tip and I have a dispenser of IPA. This is the kind you see in the doctor's office. So they push down on this and IPA comes out. IPA is supposed to come out. Maybe I just need to refill it. So now we just scrub and while we're at it we may as well just scrub the keyboard contacts as well. And the switch contacts also could use a little bit of cleaning. Yeah, those switch contacts were pretty dirty. So now they're nice and clean. Okay, the next step is to place the new LCD into the bezel. Now it was very important to note the orientation of this little dot right here. So the orientation of the dot is this way. So it would go on like this. And the second thing is the orientation of the LCD. And the LCD has sort of like a little glass bump on one side. Also if you look in the light you can see that there is a gap in the contacts over here which matches up with the gap in the contacts over here. So that means of course that the LCD would go like this and the bezel would go like that. So before we do that there is a protective film that you need to remove from the top of the LCD. Now don't be deceived when you pick at it and you feel something else. That's actually the top polarizer. What you're really interested in doing is getting rid of the top piece of plastic protective film. So now because the bezel is oriented this way and the LCD needs to be oriented this way then all you have to do is turn the LCD over and place it inside the bezel just like that. And you can press it down a little bit if you've still got that adhesive in there. Now the next step is to clean the contacts on the LCD. So we're going to do the same thing with some IPA and a Q-tip. And you don't want a lot so just be sure to squeeze off the excess and then just lightly run once over the contacts and then use the other dry end to just dry it off. And the reason you don't want a lot is that you don't want the alcohol to go underneath. The next step is we need to take these elastomeric strips and place them back in the LCD. Now first we need to clean the strips. So to do that we're going to take another piece of lint-free paper towel and we're just going to add some alcohol to it maybe to both sides and then we're going to pick up the elastomeric strip with the tweezers so that we don't touch it with our oily fingers and then we're just going to pull the strip through the paper with the alcohol on it and then we're going to place it onto the contact area and lay it down just like that. Now the orientation up and down doesn't actually matter so much. What does matter is that you can see a little black line that runs across and that needs to be facing up, up and down. And I just like to run the tweezers down one side and then press down because the elastomeric strip is sort of naturally sticky. So this gets it positioned nicely and straight and now it's in there. So we can do the same thing with the other side. It doesn't matter which elastomeric strip goes where. I see a tiny bit of dirt. So the black strip is electrically conductive. So if there's dirt on top of that black strip then there will be a contact on the LCD that doesn't actually make contact and that's not great. I'm just going to press down a little bit and I'm just going to put my tweezers between the bezel and the strip just to get it to line up a little more straight. Again it doesn't really matter if it's a little curvy. So now that we have the strips in the LCD module, all we have to do is place it back onto the PCB. So to do that, keeping the orientation correct, we're just going to rotate it and then place it so that the tabs go right back into their holes. And of course I got the orientation wrong. The hole goes that way. There we go. So now we're going to carefully turn the PCB over and we're going to press down and now what we need to do is bend the tabs back over. And now what we need to do is bend the tabs back over. So for this I'm going to use the pliers and keeping pressure, downwards pressure onto the LCD, I'm just going to bend the tab over and that tab I'm going to have a little bit of problem with because I can't reach in there. So I'm just going to do the other side now remembering to maintain pressure. Okay now for the one that I can't really reach I'm just going to use my screwdriver to lever it down and then use the pliers to go the rest of the way. Okay and that's the LCD installed. So now we can put the cover back on. So before we actually put the back plastic on, what I'd like to do is take another Q-tip and some IPA and clean the contact on the memory card for the memory card. Okay and there's an elastomeric strip that's sort of sandwiched inside here. We can gently go up and down with the alcohol. And I don't think you really want to press very much because then the strip may fall out and then you have to put it back in. So I'm just going to dry it with a fresh Q-tip. Okay and that's how that would go like that. So the next thing that we're going to do is we're going to take the keyboard side and make sure, do I have this in the right way? Yes, we're going to place it. Okay so there are these two little things here which go through the holes in the rubber pads. So just make sure that's done. There is this piece of metal here which is another bezel. You can just leave it there. Okay notice that it does actually move and it actually has a little seating point where you can feel that it's in its place. So the next thing that we're going to do is rotate the PCB and put it in from the bottom first or from this side first. Make sure it's in place and then just press it in. Just like that. And do the same thing with the plastic. We push it in there and then press it down. Okay so the next thing is I'm just going to take one screw and put it back into the plastic part. Put the plastic back just to secure it in place. Now we have the memory card. So again, we can just put some IPA on the contacts and then dry it off and then place it face down into its place. And it should just drop into place wherever it goes just like that. And then use the three screws to screw it back in. It doesn't have to be really tight, but it just needs to add enough pressure to the board to push down on that elastomeric strip. Okay. The next thing that we're going to do is we're just going to put the batteries back in. So plus for the top one, minus for the bottom one. Put the battery cover back into place. I guess it only goes in like this. And then just for good measure, we're going to press the reset button, turn it around, put it into the run position. And you can adjust the contrast. So there we go. We've got contrast and now we can just go beep to. And everything's working properly. So let's put the back back on. So again, we sort of, there are these hooks here that hook in this way. So hook it in there and then make sure that it hinges down and feels good. Screw the two back case screws in and there you go. We have a newly working TRS-80 PC3.


The man, the myth, the legend, is stepping away from acting. 🎵 Bruce Willis' family shared publicly the other day that he suffers from aphasia, which is a disease that robs you of your ability to communicate. It can affect your ability to speak, write, or even understand what people are saying back to you. This is brutal news for me. I'm a huge fan of Bruce Willis. I have been, like, you know, growing up, obviously. I'm a 90s kid. There were a lot of comments in the last couple of years saying, Adam, you need to do a video talking about all the terrible Bruce Willis movies he's been making lately, because it's true. He's been shitting out so many bad movies the last few years. It was almost unbelievable. I'm not defending his, like, last 20 years, where I do think he kind of checked out when it comes to some of the roles he's taken, or just his performance in general. But the movies he was coming out with in the last couple years were obviously for paychecks. I mean, he was making a million dollars a day just to show up on set, and it was clear these were bad films from the onset. He was trying to build up a nest egg even more so for his family, or I don't know what's going on over there financially or personally what this money's for. It's also very possible these were just very easy roles for him to land and do, and the best way to fight an illness is to keep your mind sharp. Keep doing what you're doing. Go to work. Interact with people.  So in that aspect, yeah, of course. Keep putting these crappy movies out because it's saving your life. And had I made a video about Bruce Willis and these bad movies, I wouldn't feel bad regardless, and I don't throw shade at any other channels that did so.  And Bruce Willis, he's a legend. He's an icon. He's been in some of my favorite movies of all time. So even if we're taking the guy down a couple pegs, he's so far up. You know, he made it. The man starred in Die Hard. He's John McClane. He could have done anything else after that and it wouldn't matter. I give him a pass because Die Hard is like one of my favorite movies ever. That's like Gerard Butler with 300. He gave us, he gave us gold.  But unlike Gerard Butler, who maybe has one or two other good movies, Bruce Willis has a catalog of fantastic films. Not only does he have Die Hard 1, 2, 3, 4... There's only four Die Hard movies. It's a fantastic quadology. What do we call four movies? But lest we forget the fifth element, a movie that's so weird and fun and quirky and unlike anything else that's really ever come out. It's a phenomenal movie.  I saw that film three times in theaters and loved it. I'll have a review on that by the way in a few days because I think it needs to be talked about more. Another off-the-wall bonkers film is 12 Monkeys with Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt. Then you have the big Michael Bay blockbuster Armageddon. It's your typical tale of some salt of the earth blue-collared workers who take a spaceship up to an asteroid that they have to drill to the center of to break it in half so it doesn't destroy the earth. Don't want to close my eyes.  And I don't want to miss a thing. We can't forget Unbreakable where he plays an unconventional superhero. It's too bad they never did a follow-up film for that. It's too bad they never made a movie called Glass. That's another film that doesn't exist. Unbreakable is an M. Night Shyamalan movie. I feel like he maybe did one other M. Night movie. Oh yeah, The Sixth Sense. The movie that has one of the craziest twists of all time. That's a Bruce Willis vehicle. And Haley Jo Osmond. We can't discredit Haley. I didn't see movies often with my mom in theaters. I can probably count on one hand the movies we've been to together. But The Sixth Sense. I saw with her and my dad, oh it was such a sweet experience. The absolute jaw-dropping reveal at the end. That no one saw coming, mind you.  No one saw it coming. One of my favorite badass Bruce Willis performances is in Sin City. That black and white gritty comic book style film where he's got the bum ticker. He's got that freaking gun. He's crawling on the ground. He's trying to save his girl. It's such a sweet movie. Then you got 16 blocks where he's a... I believe he's a cop down on his luck. He's just trying to get through the day unscathed. He did more comedic roles too. Like in The Kid or Bandits or The Whole Nine Yards. And he was also in that little indie Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction. Did I bring up The Last Boy Scout with Damon Waynes and Halle Berry?  Just a forewarning. He has an incredibly annoying daughter in that movie. Just block her out.  He's been in over a hundred movies I believe. Death Becomes, there's another great one. Mercury, Rising's a fantastic thriller. I never saw Hudson Hawk. I know some people think it's an underrated classic. I haven't seen it. I wouldn't mind watching it now. This really bums me out. And I know Bruce Willis hasn't been putting in a lot of the work and effort in the last 20 years. Stallone had to beg him basically to come back for the expendables for that tiny day or so shoot. But man, the memories I had going to his films with my dad, RIP, they were very special. I'll never forget them. Just on a Sunday afternoon watching the Die Hard trilogy at the time. Man, it's so good. At the end of the day, this sucks, man. It's a bummer to watch some of these 90s action stars start to age out. The Stallones, the Schwarzeneggers, the Willises, the Banderas. These guys that we used to watch all their films and have a good time. Of course, some of them I mentioned are still going. They're still doing their thing. But it's not the same. And I still go to the movies and I keep waiting for the next Willis or the next Schwarzenegger to come out. Yes, we have our Dwayne Johnson's.  But we don't have that every man actor anymore that I can associate with my own dad and say yes, I could see my old man being like Bruce Willis, taken out guys, crawling through vents. Of course, it's all fairytale nonsense, but somehow or another, Bruce Willis brought that to his characters. That relatability or at least that semi-plausibility when it's such an implausible situation. So it's sad news to report on. I know that there's dirt on Bruce Willis. I've heard he's not the easiest to work with. I'm not here to talk about the he said she said stuff. Okay, he was at the end of the day an actor. And from that aspect, I'm gonna miss him. I'd love to hear from you though. Let me know in the comments, what's your favorite Bruce Willis movie or an underrated movie I should maybe check out. I've seen a lot of them. I've seen most of them. Hudson Hawk I think is the biggest blemish that you could probably find. But still, I'd love to hear your thoughts. What's your favorite Bruce Willis movie?

Hey there friends, how's it going? My name is Kevin and today we're playing bad guys at school. You know, I used to be a bit of a bad guy at school. Now when I went there, I left school. That was an unrelated matter. So this game should be really, really easy for me. Right now, it screams mobile game. But I assure you the quality is already set to epic. Alright, let's get started. I may have left school, but this is my time to finish it on my terms. The bad guys will help you by giving you five missions per day. Really? We're calling them the bad guys? This seems a bit unfair. They're not really giving them a chance to turn their lives around, are we? Day one. My school bag is sentient. It is moving by itself. Oh hey, bad guys, I'm new here. See how I just jumped up all those steps? Yeah, I don't conform to the way this school wants me to be. Look, I don't know how to be a bad guy. Please help me. I'm picking a fight with the toughest kid in school. Unfortunately, my fists are like pillows and he hasn't even realized that I started punching him. I just thought it would be a good way to earn some street cred immediately, but I think if anything, I've just embarrassed myself further. I'll run away.  Get out of here. Alright, at least someone's afraid of me, even though he's twice my size. Alright, time to immediately start flirting with everyone. You are hot. I am putting out the fire as you are hot. Okay, I need to get the spray in the music classroom. I don't know how I'm supposed to find it. Music, yes. Okay, I don't know why spray paint is in here. Got it. I just walked right through the desk. Just to clarify, this is on steam, by the way. This isn't like a random mobile game for once. Okay, teacher's right there. Let's get started tagging up the school. No, don't punch the wall.  I've messed this one up just to spray it. Wow, cool tag. That'll be like my signature. The students are not going to think this is cool. This is like you're blocking the light. The only way we'll get sunlight throughout the day and you're blocking it. Why are you like this? It's just blocking the entire window. God, that new fire exchange kid is weird. How do they raise people in Ireland? All right, school, not cool. Got him. That is awesome. The way he jumps, he like leaps away after graffitiing the wall.  No, no, I was just tagging up Grove Street.  Oh no, I don't want to try it again. I had done four out of five. It's your fault. I'm failing at life. Your fault. Screw you for being better at being smart. I got his money and now I'm sitting on his chest. All right, that killed him. It's already tagged. Why do I have to do it again? Oh, you can control the paper planes. God damn, this is a perfect paper plane. Look at that fold. It's just so controllable. Oh, all right, sorry. Yippee, I'm ready to tag. Okay, this is a bit beyond school pranks.  It just compresses them down. They're not even flat. This is the best game I've ever played. Oh my God, I went with a rack. I was not expecting that. Like I wasn't expecting even to be able to use the thing, but I just had to try it, but I wasn't expecting that result. Better be careful. The only thing I got spray painting. I mean, steamrolling a few students is fine. They don't get involved for that, but the spray painting is over the line. There we go. Groves Street. Represent. My boy CJ is going to come out here and do a drive-by on you teachers. He doesn't like authority. Yes, mission accomplished. Okay, great. Better go see the bad guys for the next mission. Hey, bad guys, mission accomplished.  We asked you to spray paint a few walls and you smush three students with a steamroller? Use the fire extinguisher and five students.  I was training for this one. There we go. Look at that.  Look at that. That was easy. Oh my God. Wait, no, I'm with the bad guys. You don't want to mess with me. It's just kind of wildly punching. I've never seen someone shadow box and somehow lose. Well, he's weak. I may as well finish the job. Oh my God, this game may be the best game I've ever played. Playing go fast. Just running around you on my paper airplane. Is this window open? I need to go through into the girl's dormitory. Who knows why? Yeah, that'll show them. Paper airplane neatly landed on their desk. What a prank. Smash up the principal's car with a baseball bat. They really like escalate, de-escalate, escalate. They're all over the place with their pranks. Let's go back to steamrolling some students. I know they're the bad guys, but I think I'm the bad influence here. Instead of smashing with a baseball bat, I have stolen his car and I'm fleeing the area. I think this is a better prank. But I didn't realize this game would have an open world.  Oh, of course, jokes. Oh, lighter. $10. The only thing jokes are at this store is your prices. Okay, well, at least now I'm out of sight from everyone and I can begin the prank. Oh, I've lost. Oh my God, I was about to say it's doing nothing, but now it's on fire. That's mission accomplished, folks, apparently permanent brain damage, oblition to blamplish. Start and win a fight in the cafeteria. Oh, food fight. He's only on his side from all the internal bleeding after that. Okay, the cafeteria is not on the roof, surprisingly enough. I can't find that thing. Oh, that restores my energy. Okay, I thought I'd have to buy a drink, but no, just taking out my anger on the vending machine worked a treat. Here's the cafeteria. Oh, and what's that on the wall? Is that a bank seat? Oh my God, it's so artistic. I have to pick a fight in the cafeteria and I'm starting with you. There we go. The poorest chef. Congratulations. End of day one. Good job. Oh no, I did not mean to pick you up. I don't know how to put you down. Oh no, there's a teacher run. Come on, sport. We got to get out of here. I don't know how to put them down. I figured it out. Oh no, oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no, ignore me. I'm just trying to figure out the controls. Give me a break. Okay, here we are. Ah, la la venia. Something, something, ba ba.  Okay, good thing I landed on this sharp fence. It broke my fall. I got to go get a firecracker for the principle. Oh, I freed all the chickens. I had already smashed the fence, but I guess they only go through the gate. Why are they all running towards the school? All right, I'll check in with you guys later. I'm not sure what they're up to.  He's got money. Wait, have they killed people? Thank you, chickens. Who knew me and chickens would have so much in common? Ah, what? Ah, that's one of them self-driving buses I see. It just took off without me. Okay, I've unleashed a hoard onto the school. Hey, principle. I don't like the rules. Oh my God. You like that prank? Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh God, lead him under the roof. Come on. Oh no, he's got me and he's pulling off his pants. Oh, hello student who's recovering from an injury. I probably caused. I'll take care of you. Oh, sorry. You can use the gurney next. There you go. A bit of cold water will solve all your problems, I'm sure. There you go. I think he's dead. What start is a slight boo boo results in him drowning. I'm going to swim to freedom. Screw school, man. Oh, what is this? Like besides the edge of the world, I guess that proves it's flat. But I found a shark. Oh, oh, he's eating me. Wait, I've, I have picked him up. Do not fear. I will take him to science class now. And who's next for show and tell? Um, Kevin. Yes. What have you brought today? I brought shark. He does not care that I'm bringing his shark into school. He just thinks to himself, hmm, must be bringing a shark to school day. Hey, my shark. Dude, what the hell?  You can't even bring a shark to school. Taking out my anger on the rest of the students. I tried to throw out the window, but it didn't really work. Those are some strong windows. Why is your skull not hard enough to break a window? There we go. Goodbye. Oh, did you see that kickflip? Look at him go. Oh my God. My guy is so cool. He's such a bad boy. Sorry, there was a stop sign, so I had to stop. There was an online mode. I got to know what it is. Why are they all private? What? This isn't fair. All right. Server name, please join. All right, let me be police. What are you going to do, punk? I'm the police now. There's nothing you can do. You're coming with me. I'm going to bring you to the ocean. I'm going to drown you. And there's nothing you can do because I'm the police. There you go. You're in the ocean now. Oh, he can't swim very well either. He's getting really confused. He doesn't know how to get back to school. Let me introduce you to the shark. Oh, look at that. Blood in the water, sharks. Blood in the water. All right, kid. Your best thing about what you've done. Hey, now that no one has the authority to stop me. I brought this shark back. Does this school have a pool by any chance?  All right, I'll hold on to that for now. I got to save the sharks first. The way he climbed that without even his hands. Now that is core strength. Oh, I found a pool. Okay, kids, you're swimming with the sharks now. Wait, is he- He can actually swim around. Go in and say hi to the shark, buddy. Go in. Yeah, there you go. Wait, you can't fight back. I'm the police. You come with me. You're getting fed to shark now. Okay, now my next job is to hide in the showers. And then if someone comes in here without any clothes, I arrest them for indecent exposure. And I think that's a hard day's work done. Making videos is hard. Oh, but I hope you enjoyed. I loved this game. This was so good. I want to find more games like this, but I don't think anyone could ever match it. But I appreciate you watching. I think I'll play more of this on stream. If you want to check out my Twitch, the link's in the description. I think we'll try and fill up a server and see what chaos we can call it. So I'm very curious what the multiplayer is actually supposed to be like. But I appreciate you watching. I post every day if you want to check out more of my stuff. But other than that, I will just say I hope to see you next time. Bye for now.


I'm Christian Taylor on the Mustang Sports Network, Jordan with head coach Tracy Johnson. Coach, draw today, thoughts on your team's performance? I thought they battled hard. We had a lot of great chances and just couldn't bury the puck. You know, special teams obviously is something we would have liked to produce on and, you know, that game's a different story. So, you know, they didn't give up. They fought pretty hard and like I said, we got a lot of chances. We just couldn't bury them. Tough opponent next weekend, Amira, the number two team in the country. How's your team going to come out and battle them? We're going to do our best to just put our best foot forward.  You have to try to do your best to neutralize that. So we'll be spending the week getting prepared on how to do that. So today, you are the neon green jerseys in support of mental health awareness. What does this whole cause mean to you and this organization? I think it's really important.  That's something that's so serious and I think it's just okay to not be okay and we want to do what we can to kind of bring awareness to that and like I said, end the stigma. Coach, thank you very much. Good luck next weekend. Thank you.


Hi, this is Kevin. Today I'm going to show you how to refill those integrated cartridges. Those called integrated cartridges because the printhead on the bottom and the cartridge is built into one unit. Those cartridges are really simple cartridges. HP doesn't have a mechanism to track how much ink in them, so you can just keep refilling them, refilling them until the whole thing wears out. Some people believe HP will disable the printer or HP will make the print quality suffer if you refill the cartridges. Those are misconceptions that I'm going to tell you why. Okay, first, a couple years ago, about 10 years, 15 years ago, I have to check exactly the date. There's a lawsuit against HP in Ohio and consumer one. Basically the judge side with consumers that we have the right to refill the cartridge. So HP cannot take this away from us. HP cannot disable the printer or make the print quality suffer. So after that HP develops kind of ways to make you believe you cannot refill the cartridge. HP showed you three error messages. Actually it's not error message. HP wants to believe there's something wrong with your printer, but it's not error. Let me say the first message is, hey, your printer is low on ink or ink toner low. And the message body says, do you want to buy HP cartridges? And if not, just click cancel. So you click close the window. So the second message is a little bit deceiving. The second message will say your printer is almost run out of ink. To keep using this cartridge, continue or click OK or click yes. If you want to stop printing, click cancel. So there are lots of people just click cancel and send me emails saying Kevin, my printer is preventing me from using the refill ink. What should I do? I'll say you should read and understand to continue use the cartridge. Click OK or click continue. So third one is even more deceiving. Third one is when you put a cartridge inside a printer. If the cartridge has less ink or the cartridge is made by a third party manufacturer, which is totally fine, HP should accept, should by now accept third party cartridges. And there's one lawsuit about five years ago. And there are two more lawsuits in Europe. And there's one more lawsuit. OK, by the way, the first lawsuit gets settled. HP paid money to settle the third party. And then the two in Europe, the consumer one. And the third one is this year I got an email and they said they are grouping together. And we're going to have another lawsuit against HP. OK, so you think HP will dare to not allow you to refill your ink. OK, third one is this. When you put a third party cartridge or you put original HP cartridge, but the cartridge was used before, HP will say this. Counterfeit or used cartridge detected. And after that, do you want to cancel the print? Click cancel. And do you want to keep using the cartridge? Click yes. Or click continue. Of course, click yes. And then it's gone. Just go back to your cartridge. Those messages are specially designed to set you out. And by itself, it sounds really clear. But what's really confusing you is those messages going on. And then you don't know how to refill. And you have some real technical issue with your cartridge. Now, for example, they refilled the cartridge. But after they refilled cartridge, they did not. I'll show you how to prime the cartridge. They did not prime the cartridge. So the cartridge is not ready to print. So they put it back in the printer. It showed counterfeit or used cartridge detected. They click yes. Then they print out a blank page. The blank page is caused by you did not prime the cartridge. It's not caused by that message box that you clicked. So the email me said, hey, Kevin, you said HP cannot stop me from using refill cartridge. And actually happened today. And I'll tell him, go prime the cartridge to see what happened. They prime the cartridge. I'll say 9 out of 10 will not reply to my email. And 1 in 10 will say, thank you. It worked. OK. By the way, this video will be long, very long.  So nothing could be better if I just started with a brand new printer with a brand new cartridge. And even better, I'll select the lowest model, cheapest model, HP half. And you can see if I can review that one. I mean, you're good to review anyone.  So leave you dry. So I'm going to buy a new brand new printer. And I'm going to start to finish. I hope it can finish because there are many, many, many reviews. So eventually I might get bored. So we just stop where we're probably won't stop. But I want to show you step by step all the error message you may encounter and all the problem you may have. So this will be a really long video. So you can view this whenever you have problems, come back to this video. Okay. Are you guys ready to get started? I'm going to use a brand new brand new printer and those are initial cartridges. So you can see what kind of problem I'm going to facing and therefore you can solve it at home. I like this printer because it has really a small footprint and I can put it on top of other things. And also it's a straight feed from paper feed from the back. And then install the drivers and connect the USB cord. So now we take the start cartridge that come with the printer. Those are initial cartridges that HP gave you for free. And we're going to throw them in the printer. And then we just keep printing until the initial ink is all gone. So we're going to print until we get the initial HP ink all gone. You can see it doesn't really print many pages before the ink is gone. HP only gave you a couple drops of ink to start. And you can see the blue is gone now, so you get this pinkish color. OK, the computer light up like a Christmas tree. There are two windows. OK, let me put this straight. HP cannot and will not stop you from using refill cartridges. And HP has no idea how many ink in the cartridge either. So what only HP can do is show you a couple of warnings. This matches as low on ink. One or more cartridges look like a more low on ink. Do we want to buy our expensive ink? And what you say? Close. You don't need it. OK, this one. Oh, order is easy. Blah, blah, blah. To continue, you use the cartridge. Click OK to cancel the print. Click cancel the print. So what I do if I want to use the cartridge, I just click OK. That's it. I'm going to use a BCH startup for a kit for starters. This kit is called EZ30T. To find it, you can go to bchtechnologies.com. We list all the solutions here. So for example, if you first time come to the website and you want to go see what those HP cartridges are, you can click a printer review solutions for HP. I'll give some explanation what kind of, there are how many kinds of HP cartridges. For example, today we review these integrated cartridges.  So you know you'll go to review this one. So you'll go to review the little cube.  It fits all the HP integrated cartridge models. You click on it. And here it is. It has four colors. And it has a link to our manual. But if you see this video, you won't really need the manual. And it has the priming tools. So for the first time through filters, you want to back it this kit. So in the future, the only thing you want to buy is the ink. So those tools can be washed and get used again and again. Inside the tool bag, you have two silicone pads, couple toothpicks, or you'll pick your teeth after you refill it. No, actually not. I'll show you what you're going to use it. There's a drill and then there's a syringe. So we get over empty cartridge here. We're going to take a knife and peel the label off. You're going to see five holes on the cartridge. There are four on each corner. Then there's one in the middle. Let me open up one so you can see what's inside. So you can see there's a sponge inside. And then there's a wall around it. Your goal is to add ink to this sponge. So the hole you want to use is the middle hole. What I'll do is I put a cartridge on top, then invert it. I'm kind of trying from here. What I'm doing is I'm from here. I'm trying to find this edge. Then I press it down a little bit and slowly start squeezing. So I'm finding the wall right now. There we go. I push all the way to the end, then I'm going down a little bit. So now I can squeeze. Do not push it all the way to the bottom.   Okay, now I soak the whole thing. You can see this is what I did earlier. I go to the wall and then I get this part wet. However, you'll know the sponge. Sometime after you add the liquid, the liquid will just stay on the top. It did not come to the bottom.  This is what we call priming tool that's included in this package. What it has is it has a rubber sucker that is exactly matching the size of your printhead. Lay this to the middle. And push forward and down. Let me put it on the side. Give a little bit of push like this. And now you want to draw the ink. See, you put the ink here. You want the ink to come down. This doesn't have suction, so I do it again. Sometime I hold down here, using my finger to push it down.  And now let's work on the colors. Here is if I take the cap off, here's what the color looks like.  In this case, sometimes HPE play the trick. They will swap the two colors. So you might want to make sure that you can tell which color is which. From here you can see a little bit yellow. So this is yellow. And you can see a little bit of magenta here. So that must be magenta. And this is cyan. So those two cartridges are the same color sequence. If you do not check and after you refill it, you'll see the color swapped. And that means you have a trick cartridge. So we have a magenta on the top. This is what the tooth is for. So this is the magenta. I don't want to verify this is cyan. And this is cyan. So for the color, it's a lot harder to refill than the black. The sponge is smaller. Our goal is through this hole, I'm going to find a wall. And then I'm going to push it down a little bit. And then I'm going to release the... So kind of from the wall I go as low as possible to the bottom. That starts squeezed ink. So from the hole, I go to the side. And I find a wall and I squeeze it down. Those squeeze more than 10 times. And you don't want to overfill it. I'll switch the silicone pad to the color cartridge. The color cartridge is shorter. Because the yellow one is a little shorter. And you already can see I overfilled the magenta. Because the magenta is falling out. So at least I need to remove the overfilled magenta. I know some people do not like to wipe the printer. I'm a wiper. I like to wipe it clean before I insert it. This is a quick check if I overfilled any color. So if I just dab it, dab again, dab again. And I underfilled the cyan. And I overfilled the magenta. So I'm going to add a little bit of cyan. Now you can see it with all three colors. OK cartridge is very low. To continue using this cartridge, click OK. To cancel your print job, click the cancel print. We click OK of course. You can see the magenta is not coming out. So you can see yellow. You can see cyan. But not magenta. Don't start priming yet. So print a couple pages. See if I can improve myself. You also can see the black is dripping. That's because we overfilled the black. So it's very excessive for you to come out. And we just keep printing a couple pages. And let everything work it out by itself. Oh, we got some cyan now. Good. More pages. You can see all the color is perfect up to the third page. You can see there's some ink leaking. Don't worry. Just print a couple pages. See what's going on. And see. Basically we didn't do anything. And they just fixed itself. So what you saw is just ink coming down to the cartridge. You need to give it a bit of time. For you really to feel the ink to come down. So now you can see as after couple pages the magenta is gone. Basically we did not fill all the colors with exactly amount. So right now you have different ink pressure among different chambers. And now the best thing to do is just leave the cartridge in the printer for like 20-30 minutes. Then come back and print again. Okay, took a long walk. And I think it should be okay now. Let's try to print. We see a little bit of stripes on the side. But we keep printing the ink crack itself after the second page. Later on I'll find the why you have a stripe on the first page. It's not clogged. It is excessive ink because all the ink comes out. And I'm going to discuss it later at the end of the video. And I'm going to show you how to correct it. Okay, we're on the secondary field. We run out of gloves. So let's try to do this as needed as possible. Black. And try to find that wall. Press it down a little bit. You can see ink coming from the top. So we'll stop. Give us a little bit of time. And now we don't need a toothpick anymore. We know which color it is. So the magenta. We print about 100 pages a day. So if we keep using this one, we'll probably have to refill maybe every other day. See the black come down already. And not much other colors. Okay, now you can start seeing the color coming out. See the blues coming down now. We'll run a couple pages. Then decide if we want to print it or not. And we decide which color to print. Okay, the colors are okay. Just the black need to be prime. So you can see there's no black color. See what the problem is. Okay. That's perfect. Thank you. Sure. What's wrong with the bottom one? The bottom one is the printed printout. I think we print almost 10,000 pages. I wonder if it's like white. Okay, well, we use that one. So good. Okay, 200 pages later. And black is running out again. And now you'll know the routine. Fill it up and prime it. The color didn't show in its ink. So it just looks wet or not. Just put a couple drops on it. Okay, this is after the third refill. Okay, the black is back. And the color looks perfect. You might notice we only primed the black cartridge. We did not prime the color cartridge. Because the color cartridge wasn't running out. So there's no air bubbles on the bottom. So we just add some ink on it. So refill often. And don't wait until it's dry. Okay, this is going to be our last refill. We started this project in September. Now it's December. It has been three months. So those two cartridges just keep going and going and going. So we cannot find a way to kill it. So in the over-last refill, we're going to try to overfill it. We're going to use the BCH standard ink. So because we already have all the tools we needed from the first starter kit, you might know there are different types. There are pigment ink and there are dye ink. For all those integrated cartridges, what we found is the dye ink lasts a lot longer than the pigment ink. And although the HP filled the black with pigment black, I would suggest you use all dye ink in it. So if you want to get a bulk ink, which you can go to here, ink for printers, and refilling for HP and old dye ink. And this is the best watercolor ink for this cartridge. I said best because it's cheaper. I mean, those are not really sophisticated cartridges, so I'm not going to use a premium ink in it. I'll just use a standard ink. If I go a little bit fancy, you can go use a premium dye ink. But those mostly are print documents, so I'll just stay with standard ink. And now we can just reuse those tools and we only get bulk ink. So now there's lots and lots of ink. We'll do the same for the other colors. We'll just add too much ink into each cartridge and see what happens. Because they are overfilled, so when you flip them over, you start seeing the ink flowing out. In most cases, it's not that bad because you get the ink, and that's a good thing. However, you might find you're missing one color. And that color is not clogged. It's just because there's so much ink from other colors. So this color is overwhelmed. In this case, the yellow didn't show up. And there's another thing that I need to mention is that when you overfill the cartridge, and then you prime it and you put it back, and the first couple pages always look like it's clogged. Especially the black, because the black is bigger, so it's easier to do. So you always have a strap for the black.  And your unclogged and unclogged always, you put it back, print it two pages always like that. What should you do? Just open it up. After you print it two pages, just wipe the bottom clean and wipe out the excessive ink. It's better to have a wet paper towel do this. And you wipe the clean, then put it back. Here's an example. If you see this for the packing slip, it looks like clogged, actually it's not clogging. And then I use a wet paper towel. Because I just primed it, I know it's not clogged. And then I'll put it back. And now if you see the packing slip, it's crisp, clear. So on the top is when we stop. And this is after we just use a paper towel, just wipe it clean. So this is what happens when you overfill. It looks like clogged, but it's not. We'll print a few more pages to make sure the yellow is not coming out. Actually if you keep printing, the yellow will eventually come out, but the other ink will be gone. So basically you are playing a game of trying to have three colors have about the same amount of ink in it. You can draw most of ink out in that way. That will be automatically balanced. Or you can just add some yellow and then draw some out. And just play with it. We've got about the same length of yellow magenta and cyan. So we'll print a couple pages and you can see the color is still off. So what we're going to do is just leave in the printer because we know they all are clogged because you see the same bar of yellow magenta and cyan. So we're just leaving the printer and we're going to come back next day. Okay, we're back. So it's not that scary because we don't have it overfilled. So the key is to prime it to make sure it's not really clogged and then make sure you've got an even bar of three colors with a white paper towel. And then just leave it in the printer for a couple hours or a day and come back. I hope you enjoyed this video. Visit us at www.bchtechnologies.com or locally at Grisboro, North Carolina. Cheers!
