I'm resurrecting an old Powermate 5000 Model PC0545305.01 with an obsolete & malfunctioning AVR (ICM AB3101-240). ICM weren't any help. This units AVR specs apparently has 240 VAC sensing and 25 VDC output to the brushes. I connected two 12 VDC batteries to the brushes to confirm proper output VAC. Can anyone identify a source for an AVR with the necessary specs?

FixHub Smart Soldering Iron: Suddenly stopped turning on

Sat, 09 May 2026 04:30:34 -0700

I have been using the soldering iron today, set it down for 1h, came back... and now it won't light up when plugged in. The web interface does not find it. I don't get an USB device plugged in sound (should it even do that?).

Any ideas on how to narrow down the error?

It is about 2 years old. I used it maybe 20 times since then.
I tried multiple power supplies but nothing seems to help.

Does anyone have any more trouble shooting tipps?

FixHub Portable Power Station: My Station is not charging anywhere near 2.25A at 20V

Fri, 08 May 2026 15:26:54 -0700

My Power Bank is not charging near it's 45W max through the rear port at 20V with any of my 65W power adapters.

This is not due to my chargers or cables as I have tried a variety of adapter cable combinations that all work with my other 65W+ USB C devices (laptops, etc.)

All of these chargers only delivered 10W when they support higher wattages on other devices:

Dell 65W (supports 20V 3.25A) --> only 10W

Chromebook 60W (supports 20V 3A) --> only 10W

ASUS ROG ALLY 65W (supports 20V 3.25A) --> only 10W

RavPower 61W PD charger with 100W cable (supports 20V 3A) --> only 10W

Interestingly:

30W Anker PowerPort Atom III Slim with 100W USB C cable was able to deliver 27W at 20V.

Insignia Nintendo Switch power adapter which only goes up to 15V was able to deliver 32W at 15V.

UGREEN Nexode mini 30W delivered 27W at 20V.

This is a strange pattern. The lower wattage adapters are able to charge at their max,

but my higher wattage chargers are being limited to about 10W.

I tested these while the battery was at about 25%

I have already updated to firmware 1.5.0

Air Compressor: Open Amp Sensor error in GD compressor

Wed, 06 May 2026 21:33:15 -0700

Hi

I am working on Gardner Denver Compressor model Electra Saver.
I recently came across an error message Shutdown 'Open Amp Sensor'

This error message popped up within few minutes upon turning on. There is a light on the Compressor motor as seen in above pic, don't know what it means. The motor doesn't get hot.

After pressing Reset & then Constant run, the compressor runs, in most of the cases - all day. But sometimes it stops after running for few hours with above error message.

I tried to look thru the manual but couldn't find above Error message.
Any thoughts what this error is for & how to fix it?

Thanks

Lawn Mower: Mower won't start unless I put gas in the spark plug well

Mon, 04 May 2026 20:05:09 -0700

I have a Briggs and Stratton 4-cycle, OHV, self-propelled mower. It is several years old, we just got it from a friend. It worked the first few times we tried, then just woudn't start. I changed the spark plug and air filter. Still nothing. Then I pulled out the spark plug and put a little bit of gas in the well. It started and ran like a champ for an hour while I finished the lawn. I believe this is a carburetor problem, but don't know for sure and I am a novice repair guy who wants to learn how to do all this myself. What do I need to clean/fix/replace, and how do I do it?

Thanks so much.
