So yeah sorry about the long time no journal thing but I have been super busy with my High-Speed pinball machine.
And have not really do much here as I mostly post on my Facebook since it is much easier to bulk upload on there then it is on here.

I can do some high lights of my H-S.
Which is almost completely finished. :)

So yeah sorry about the long no talking and stuff.
I do have a Pinballers319 FA account which is:  Pinballers319

You can also do a search for me on Youtube which GrontalisV2 is my furry YT.
The PinBallers319 yt channel is my Video Game episodes one.
And the PinballReviewer is the main YT channel I use for my pinball machine stuff.

So like the title says I need Caps and Fuses!
Why?

I need them for my High-Speed Pinball Machine.
I am rebuilding the power supply and some of the other boards that have caps and fuses on them.
And a lot of the fuses are the wrong values.

Any ways here is a list of tech stuff I need.

Alright all you techies and pinheads out there! Give me all your fuses and Caps! :P

This stuff is for my High-Speed Pinball Machine.
Most of it is for the Power Supple and caps on some of the boards on my HS.

Any one have any ideas why my Component ports on my 42" Vizio 3D tv do not work? All it says is no power to the RGB/Comp will shut down soon.
I am thinking that there might be a solder joint that popped off of the component port? And I am not very happy about this as it is the first time using those hook ups and they don't work.
And I know they are in the right slots too. I even tried the component cables in the older Toshiba downstairs and it worked fine.
I am trying to hook up my old Wii in my room but looks like I will have to put the Wii U back into my room if they continue to not work.
I am thinking of maybe getting into the tv an seeing if all of the solder is put on well or if there are any cold or broken solder points on the component ports.

So yeah my desperation of wanting a pinball machine that works is making me insane.
So if any one comes across a cheap project pinball machine let me know as i want a cheap pin to repair so that I can play it.

This is my first ever recommendations of programs I enjoy to use all the time.
This will be for stuff that helps with computer problems mostly but with a few programs like Paint programs and such.

As I only have Windows and Linux computers I will only do Windows and Linux OS recommendations.

For Windows:

All Piriform programs links to each program below:

CCleaner - http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner - One click clean up of your internet cache and temp files comes with the option to also Shred as it deletes said cache and temp files as it goes. The default is set for off for the shredder part. I have mine set to 7 passes.


Defragger - http://www.piriform.com/defraggler Do you hate the Windows XP and aboves defragger? Like the Windows 98 defragger look better? Well look no further then Defraggler for Windows it has a great Windows 98 look to it as you can see it working instead of guessing if it actually did diddly squat.

Recuva - http://www.piriform.com/recuva - Did a photo from your camera just go poof out of no were or accidently deleted a file from your Trash can? Don't worry with this program it searches for all deleted items on your hard drive and lets you recover said file or even delete it perminantly from your hard drive.

Speccy - http://www.piriform.com/speccy - Need to know an in depth look at your computer specs? This is the perfect program for you! It shows everything from hard drive tempurators to what computer you have and how many cores your computer has.

Paint programs:

Paint.net - http://www.getpaint.net/download.html#download This is similar to Photoshop but does have a learning curve on how to crop photos and stuff but I love it for being free and simple to use once you learn the cropping feature.

Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - http://www.malwarebytes.org/product.....warebytes_free - An anti-virus/Anti-Malware program that searches for any computer threats and takes them out!

Spybot search and destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/mirrors - Like Malwarebytes this also searches for viruses, malware and tracking cookies as well.


Well this is all the programs I use and love for now. =3

If you have suggestions for programs you would like linked up let me know by commenting, note or email me at: grontalisv2[at]furry-fangdom.com

I will check them out and if they work good and virus and malware free I'll post em up on this account. ;)

Yep I am getting close to getting my High-Speed Pinball Machine back together again so here is a video asking what places I can get a rebuild kit at.

https://youtu.be/feVVvXqhFRc

I got it all done and it works!

I did it all from scratch except for the board I did not etch the board but 0ther then that every thing else I put in myself!

So now I have a AC/DC Power supply the goes from 0V to 15V! ^.^

Check out the end video were I tell some of what is on the power supply and proof that it indeed does work! :P

And if you want to see the whole process of me soldering my life away on it go watch the recorded stream videos.

That are located here:

Part 1: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/21674999

Would you buy a Power Supply from me if you are into electronics or want to get started in Electronics?

I would like to sell these assembled if any one is interested?

I am attempting to make a AC/DC power supply that I got as a Kit.

Go watch me attempt this at:

It is a very old hard drive from the 90s so only has like maybe 10GB if that.

I want to know how to repair the silicon surface as it is scratched and it makes a horrible clacking noise too.

I think it is due to the huge scratch that covers most of the first waifer on the top disc.

Any one have any suggestions on fixing the silicon disc and is it even possible to do so?
I want to get as much data off of it as possible as it has been many years and we thought about doing the data recovery guys but that is at least $1200 for something like that.
