11 days ago left my tablet PC on the garden table whilst trimming a plant growing up the house wall. Whilst up the ladder it started to spit with rain.... forgot about the bloody tablet!
Found it later that afternoon.... switched it on.... nothing 😕😕😖
Put it in airing cupboard for a couple of days with back removed and tried the 'bag of rice ' trick. Nothing....no signs of life. A week later replaced it with new one as still no signs of life.
Yesterday, before binning it I tried one last time and the thing came to life and works fine 😂
So....the purpose of posting...if you get your phone or tablet wet, don't give up too soon, you never know!

D

Bit of an update....the tablet worked fine for about a week then suddenly died.. I found that if I removed the battery then reconnected it the boot process ran for a couple of seconds then it died. Each time i disconnect the battery and reconnect it it starts to boot then dies.
Any ideas anyone?
I have tried with two different batteries with the same outcome.

Oh... feeling like a daft twat now....the thing has just come to life with a combination of buttons pressed!!

Rebuilt the carbs on my RG250 Gamma, new mains, pilots, needle jets and seals. Wow, just went out and did 25 miles on it, it feels good as gold once more. Love riding

I had a ypvs [i miss it], but the gamma handles much better. It's a great piece of kit.[/i]

There ain't many rg's left...

Changed the rear discs and pads on the Mazda 6. Set of discs and pads were the same price as a set of front pads alone for the fazer.

Nice gentle ride on the MT10 this morning...360 miles covered so far and really starting to gel with it. Backed off some front and rear preload to soften the suspension to eliminate some of that jarring, worked a treat.
Picture of the bike in it's natural habitat.....It's all about the twisties.

Dazza - that is simply stunning but seems to be crying out for a tail tidy IMO.

When I say stunning, it is..really - just not as stunning as this, my precious which will be mine one day. I give you (yet again) the MV Agusta Brutale

dazza · « **Reply #1560 on:** 07 August 2016, 11:13:05 pm »

I agree Frosties, stunning that is. It is a work of art. Got talking to a guy who had one over at Headcorn Aerodrome the other month....It was on it's 3rd recall.....There's always a price to pay for beauty, nothing Italian can be that beautiful and not be tempermental.
It's also my brother's dream bike, he seems to be enjoying it..
Tail tidy is on the cards but not yet.

dazza · « **Reply #1562 on:** 07 August 2016, 11:29:26 pm »

That was my first thought Downey. It cracked me up when he lifted the seat to show us the tool kit.....It was an allen key, that was it

There's no room under there either, managed to get a small bottle of visor spray and a cloth by the battery but the tool kit is in the kitchen, haven't got a clue where it goes or how it's going to fit but who cares....I've got cruise control you know

Looking at your MT10,Dazza,brings out the lust & envy in me! Also my OCD suggests to me that keeping her clean is going to be interesting(bit like those spoked wheels on the MV!).

My trusty Husqvarna leaf blower has come in very useful for blasting the moisture out of all the nooks & crannies on several different bikes. There seem to be plenty of these on the MT series.

However, after 8 years hard use (including blowing up loads of leaves) it has decided to malfunction by flooding/refusing to start so methinks its strip down time before the autumn. May end up purchasing a new one-the only way I can keep up with you guys on your brand new exotica

Enjoy it shiny side up!

Went for a midweek spin on the Sprint, stopped for 5 minutes when I went to start it and nowt,

got a jump start off the wifes car and it burst into life, ordered a new battery from Wemoto (great service came in 2 days) bike turns over so much better now, long may it last as I'm doing the NC500 next weekend.

Fitted Carbon swing arm covers to the tuono v4. They have tie wraps around the covers until the silicone glue sets!

nickodemon · « **Reply #1570 on:** 15 August 2016, 06:56:24 pm »

Went for a blast to check the carbon covers were secure. I also bought lightech chain adjusters and had the ecu reflashed by gabro racing this spring

Bloody hell it's even more mental

I think thats all the mods....

downey · « **Reply #1573 on:** 15 August 2016, 10:26:45 pm »
