Sorry, I misread your initial remarks on the temperature. If my ballast inductor is rated for higher temperatures than they get in the basement, I will see if there are other ballasts that will work better in cooler temperatures.
I hadn't even thought of temperature as a factor. I must look at the tubes the next time I'm at my mother's house and see what temperatures they are supposed to run in. It's entirely possible that the room is colder than the rated temperatures for the tubes, in which case our next batch of tubes...
I don't understand what you are suggesting. I understand your point about moisture and you have guessed correctly that these tubes are mounted to the joists in an unfinished portion of the basement. But what is it that you want me to solder? I can solder but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to...
Thanks very much for your reply to my question.
I know you dumbed it down a bit but that was exactly the right thing to do in my case. I'm not actually dumb but I forget my high school and first year university physics because that was a long time ago ;-)
The bottom line is that rotating the...
Thanks for your quick reply, Brad.
I should have mentioned that I did press the two buttons on the GFI but that didn't get the outlets working again.
Under those circumstances, is it reasonable to assume that the outlet has just flat-out failed internally somewhere and simply needs to be...
My mother has a problem with some of her fluorescent tubes in her basement. I was hoping I could get some advice here.
She has a variety of 48 inch fluorescent tubes in her basement to light the unfinished part of the basement, which is mostly used for laundry and storage. Some of these...
This is a very basic question about GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt?) outlets. I do NOT know much about electronics and had only brief courses in electricity in high school, which was a long time ago.
My mother has a standard-looking GFI outlet in her kitchen and it stopped working a while back...
Just a quick note to tell you all that the problem is resolved. I went over to my friend's place this afternoon, confirmed that the speakers had "DC" on them, and then tried powering them up with an old 300 mA 9V AD adapter I had lying around. It worked very well!
Thank you all for your help!
There are two speakers. I didn't see anything written on the speakers that mentioned volts or mlliamps. I did see "DC" in raised letters near the jack where you connect the AC Adapter.
I didn't see any other writing on the speakers but I will have another look - and take some photographs -...
I apologize in advance if this question doesn't belong in edaboard at all. If it doesn't please tell me a better place to ask it.
Can anyone tell me how to determine how many volts and milliamps an AC Adapter needs to provide if you have the device that needs the AC Adapter but no specs for the...
