My bottom cleaner keeps getting stuck in a particular corner, how do I correct this?

When I pull the cleaning disc away from the corner it goes back there quickly and stays there.

Since this cleaner works on the principal that if run long enough it will clean the entire pool area, there is no real way to control its movements. try removing one length of the hose. this will change the pattern of the cleaner. you can also change the flow rate of the water and if you are using a weight, change its position. try only one fix at a time so you know which is working

Maybe your hose needs to be reprogrammed by unhooking and lying it in the sun for several hours.

SOURCE: I have had my Barracuda

Yes, it is possible. If that is the case, you will have to have it services by a Zodiac licensed repair person. There are a few things that you can try first, though. You might need to install a ladder guard. This is a common addition to these pool cleaners. If could also be an issue with your hose weights not being spaced correctly or your water pressure not being strong enough (use Star Control to check). If you can't fix it with one of these solutions, contact the technical service line at 1-888-786-7797.

What is a backup valve

Should be located one hose length back from cleaner head. Sort of tear drop shaped in-line with the hose. It has a gear inside that changes water flow so the unit will lift off pool bottom every couple minutes in case it gets stuck in a corner.

Kreepy bull shark gets stuck in the corners and stains (dark brown/black) the pool where it is stuck.

There are several things that you can do to prevent these pool cleaners from sticking at steps and corners. First, your return line water flow might be positioned incorrectly to force the cleaner toward the corners. Check for this and use the eyeball diverter valve to redirect the water flow if necessary. Make sure that your automatic regulator valve is installed properly and free of debris. Make sure that you have proper hose balance (the cleaner should set at a 45 degree angle to the pool bottom). Adjust the hose weights if necessary. You may need to add a wall climb restrictor or a ladder guard. If none of these correct the problem, consider adding the Thruster, which aids in random pattern coverage by automatically repositioning the hose to help free the cleaner from obstacles.

How do I clean my blu ray player?

Hi, Music and game discs collect dust and dirt on their surfaces overtime. This build-up can interfere with the sound and performance of both discs and the player system. Cleaning fluids and cloths will aid in keeping a Blu-ray discs clean, but to clean the lens of the player, some dissembling is required. Below are instructions on how to open up a Blu-ray player and clean the lens on the inside.

Instructions



Things You'll Need:

* Blu-ray player
* Screwdriver
* Lens cleaner
* Cotton swab



Turn Blu-ray player over and remove the edge screws holding the bottom plate onto the drive using a small Philip's head screwdriver. These screws are located opposite each other on the bottom edge and one has a metal piece attached. Remember to reattach the metal piece when replacing screws later.


Remove the bottom two edge screws located near the center of the base and the three screws holding the base plate at the opposite edge from the screws in step 1. Again, one of the edge screws will have a metal piece that goes back in place later.


Extract the motherboard connectors. Once the screws are out, simply lift the lid and pull out the connector. The cable remains connected to the motherboard.


Remove the motherboard by lifting it and turning it to the right to pull out the cable connection. Do not yank the cable out. Grip the end plug firmly to release the cable.


Turn the player back over the right way and remove top cover to unscrew the four sides and one top screw holding the lens cover in place. The lens cover moves to the right so lens is accessible for cleaning.


Use cotton swab dipped in a little lens cleaner and clean the lens using a circular motion. Dry the lens using same motion with other end of the cotton swab.


Reassemble machine by reversing these steps.

Thanks for using fixya........

Keeps getting stuck in corners

There are several things that you can try if your pool cleaners getting stuck at corners. First, make sure that the cleaner is getting the proper water flow and adjust it if necessary. Also, make sure that you inlets are adjusted so that they are pointed down and at the center of the pool. This will ensure that the cleaner is pointing in the right direction. Check your hose weights to make sure that they are correct. You will know they are right if the cleaner is sitting at a 45 degree angle with the pool's bottom when resting.

A cd is stuck in the player, will not eject, and the display says "no disc". How do I get the disc out?

If the tray does not open the only way to get this out is opening the unit up. Many times the hat gets stuck thus the tray does nto open. So the only way that disc is going to come out of that unit is by manual extraction.

Thanks and please do be considerate and leave a rating and feedback

Static when I turn on speakers or adjust volume

The problem is that the switch/volume control is dirty.
This is what I have done.

Dismantling Altec Lansing VS 2221 speakers to clean the switch/volume control


Tools: a medium Phillips screwdriver, a craft knife & a can of CO contact cleaner & extension.


1. Remove switch/volume control knob by pulling it off

2. Pull out the base for the stand if attached

3. Unscrew the 2 screws beside the wires

4. Remove the front gauze by prising it out from one of the bottom corners. Keep the gauze straight as it will need to be put back from the bottom to the top.

5. Remove the 2 screws at the top and the 4 long screws holding the speaker. The back will come apart from the front and sides. If it has been glued then use the craft knife to carefully cut the back away from the sides and/or prise it away with a little pressure on the sides.

6. Attach the extension to the can of contact cleaner.

7. Lift the circuit board out and squirt only the switch/volume control. Ensure you squirt the shaft and the internal parts of the switch/volume control. Turn the shaft a few times.

8. Allow the contact cleaner at least 1 hour to dry.

9. Test the speakers. If the noise is still there then repeat steps 6-9.

10. To assemble the speaker do the steps 1-5 in the opposite order.

I hope this is helpful

Legend 2 pool cleaner auto back-up feature stopped working

Make sure you have a clean filter and clean wall fitting screen. Pull hose out of water and lay it so you can watch the back-up mode go through its mode. The housing might be crack and have a leak which might not give the valve enough power.

Philips hdd 1630

The battery in the HDD1630 can be changed, but it's a bit fiddly to do.

Remove the hex screw from the back of the casing.

Gently lever the back cover off by insert a small flat blade or metal strip in between the front and back cover at the top. (Do not try to pull it off from the bottom.)

Tape along the buttons and switches down both sides of the player, so they don't fall out when you remove the front cover.

Undo the four cross head screws in the corners of the inner panel.

Gently ease the inner workings away from the front casing. Note the ribbon cable to the front panel.

Ease the buttons on both sides away from the inner casing. They are only stuck down with double sided tape.

Lift the metal plate away from the battery and hard disc, taking care not to pull the microphone out of the plastic end cap. (If it is pulled out, it can be stuck back in place on re-assembly.

Carefully lift the battery away from the board from the end opposite the wire. Pull the battery connector out of the socket and replace.

Re-assembly is the reverse procedure.

NECVOX RE-8169DVD ' No Disc' Error Message

Hi

I think you can see the lens of the DVD's laser.  If so get some glass cleaner, and a Q-tip.  Dampen one tip of the Q-tip with the glass cleaner and clean the laser lens.  Use the dry end of the Q-tip to dry the lens
