Logitech UE Boom: Why does my UE Boom require 3+ attempts to connect?

Mon, 04 May 2026 07:33:12 -0700

My UE Boom seems to consistently require three attempts before a Bluetooth connection is established my laptop (MacBook m1, up-to-date). Anyone know what is causing this and/or how to fix it?

Steps:

Turn on laptop (defaults to Bluetooth on) and UE Boom (previously paired).

First attempt. Connect laptop to UE Boom via laptop toolbar. Fails to connect. This sometimes 1-3 times.
Second attempt. Turn on UE Boom and try to connect via laptop toolbar again. This results in UE Boom turning off instead of connecting.

Third attempt. Turn on UE Boom and once again try to connect via laptop toolbar. This time the connection is made and UE Boom behaves normally until turned off.

LG Television: Replacement LED Strips Too Short?

Sun, 03 May 2026 08:16:42 -0700

First time attempt at replacing LED backlights for me. Picked up an old LG 55" tv (LG 55UM7300PUA) that has an overly blue picture. Ordered some replacement LEDs off Ebay, and got them in this week. Part number seems to match (SSC_Y19_TRIDENT_55UM73), but the eight-LED strips are only about 22" long (as in, about half the length of the tv screen).

I haven't broken open the TV yet, but before I do so, was wondering if having LED strips so short compared to the length of the TV is normal.

Also, I noticed that the markings on each strip are identical (i.e., there's no "A" or "B" strip designation). Are these strips typically interchangeable among themselves?

Other CD Player: CD not playing in only this CD player

Sat, 02 May 2026 17:53:25 -0700

Hello, i was gifted a cd player recently i think the brand is Durabrand. i have played quite a few CDs on it and they work perfectly. now i have a CD of my favorite album and i was so excited to play it, there is not even a single scratch, but when i put it in it just spun and the screen just blinked “ - - “ then stopped spinning and showed two zeros. i tested this exact CD in other CD players or my car and it works perfectly. i have CDs made around the same time and before and they work fine, i can’t figure out the issue.
