Electronic Keyboard: Yamaha PSR E253 has a button that keeps pressing on its own

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 21:52:24 -0700

Hello, there is a button in my keyboard which is the minus button, it presses on its own causing the voice to change continuously/constantly. And another thing is that I can't press other buttons beside it if it does that thing. What do I need to do to fix this?

LSA5AU5A: LG Air Conditioning showing Lo in display

My LG split (non-inverter) AC is frequently switching ON and OFF and sometimes changing the cooling modes on its own. Also it showed "Lo" on the display of the indoor unit! What does this mean and what should I do to correct it?

Health And Personal Care: How do I open my Philips Power Flosser 7000, to fix an internal leak?

Sun, 31 May 2026 15:29:35 -0700

I have a Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 7000 Oral Irrigator HX3911/30. Water dribbles out the bottom of the case/body. This is a very common problem, according to owner comments and complaints on many websites. I haven't found any information on how to open the case of the Power Flosser. There are only two visible screws on the bottom of the case, and two more for removing the tubing to the handpiece. I couldn't figure out how to get the case apart, which may partially snap together.

This is an expensive water flosser, so buying a new one isn't attractive. It's out of warranty. Can anyone give me a hint or a link for disassembly of this device?

Casio keyboard: CDP S160 a few keys mysteriously triggering or stopping other keys

Sat, 30 May 2026 12:41:18 -0700

This repair is for a poor customer who's 15 year old lad is so desperate to get it fixed! Yes he confessed to spilling some gooey drink over it! - cleaned carefully first four octaves contacts and PCB board. re graphited the board in places. Cured a dozen keys, BUT C1 + F1# + E2 + C3 + G3# giving very mysterious triggers! ( and these notes well away from where the spillage occured). These five sometimes no sound, then sometimes they all work, BUT when they are all working , holding down C1 + F1# + E2 together - The C1 delays - then double triggered several times sometimes ( whilst all three are continuously held down!) When these 5 x keys decide to work, they all work fine when pressed individually !! How mad is that ??

I know rubber contacts must be okay, swapped them to working parts of keyboard - and the working parts still no problem. Examined all connectors - very few anyway,

motherboard no visual signs of damage or corrosion etc.

Can only think the channels from some keys are interfering with others (short circuit?).

Not knowing how the send signals from each note are clustered together - so hard to prove any short or crossover going on.

. I see some questions here others have had similar problems, - and as yet unresolved?

Tickle Me Elmo: Why is my Original 1996 Tyco Tickle Me Elmo Stuck in Try me mode?

Sat, 30 May 2026 03:44:06 -0700

I got a Original 1996 Tyco Tickle Me Elmo from a thrift store and when I got it, it was stuck in its try me mode where it would only do its demo laugh without the normal play of 4-5 tickle me sequences and he doesn’t have a plastic tab inserted in him at all. I also opened him up to see if there was some kind of switch or something that would make him register that he’s either in try me mode or normal play mode but had no luck.

Is there any way to get it out of try me mode for one that doesn’t have the plastic tab inserted and would this either be something to do with a specific wire connection and/or a board problem? Please advise soon if anyone knows or has had a Tyco Tickle Me Elmo with this issue of being stuck in try me mode without a plastic tab. Hopefully this is fixable.

Thank you! 😊

Water Heater: Ariston Boiler Turning On and Off Repeatedly + Yellow Warning Light

Thu, 28 May 2026 01:57:50 -0700

Hi everyone. I have an Ariston boiler/water heater and I’m having an issue with it.

It turns on normally, heats the water for a short time, then shuts off. After a while, it turns on again. The water keeps alternating between hot and cold.

There is also a yellow/orange warning light on the control panel (photo attached). I already tried pressing the “Reset” button, but the problem continues.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Could it be low pressure, a faulty sensor, limescale buildup, or another common issue with this model?

Thanks in advance.
