I agree. It's like lord of the Rings meet Game of throne.

bishop4life:
That's nice, what happened to the other smart charger?

It doesn't charge, always shows a green light. Complained about it earlier. Will repair it later

So I finally bought another smart charger and changed the Ups, now enjoying the setup.
1. I initially bought a Fake Bluegate UPS that didn't last.then I got a mercury that overheated in two weeks. You will know a fake Bluegate easily because the original UPS has BLUEGATE written at the sides with holes. Also, it beeps continuously instead of the 15 times OP said.

2. My battery setup is one 200aH, two 18aH battery and a car battery (I know I know, had a spare so decided to use it)

3. It is important to remove the batteries inside of the UPS for my kind of setup; it gets very hot. I removed the covering of the UPS to allow it to cool faster.

4. My total load is one 32 inch TV, 5 28watt energy saving bulbs, plethora of charging gadgets and a rechargeable standing fan. Most people don't know that a Gotv charger can be used on these fans. It wouldn't charge the batteries but the fan will work.

5. With the setup above, it lasts 6hrs. Without the TV, it last 24hrs.

6. Using an infra red thermometer, I found out certain components can very hot with temperatures of up to 60°C close to those transistors. This usually starts to occur 2hrs 30mins after I turn it on.

7. I bought a battery powered fan, cut out the wires and attached USB cable to it. I then connected to a USB charger and attached to the UPS with the blades pointed close to the circuitry. This reduces the temperature to 36°C.

Abagworo:
Una thinking sometimes dey tire me. Policemen clashed with protesting Doctors and the Governor took a gun and shot a Doctor. Very childish and funny if I may say.

This topic has nothing to do with the Governor but an ego battle between the said Doctor and the said Policeman. Nobody including your enemy will support using any form of force unprovoked.

You see? I gave you a bait and you took it. You are so predictable and gullible.

Abagworo:
You've given the reason. Disobedience to plea not to come closer. The Policeman will go free because he will claim self defence.

So you advocate the removal of free speech and freedom of expression. You now uphold your most wonderful Governor the capability to suppress people's right to protest. In case you have CNN, check it for a picture of the front of the White house ; you will see people protesting for one issue or another. No policeman has ever attacked a protester. This is not military rule ;this is democracy. Go to Douglas house every weekday, one group of another is demonstrating, pensioners that are owed more than one year, civil Servants about cuts in salary. I guarantee that tomorrow, another group will be having a rally there.
What was so special about this rally that made it different?

Then again, the Governor has always had a dislike for doctors. He did the same tactics to medical students last year with the same tear gas. I wonder if the policeman also claimed self defense.
The more you try to cover him the more I expose you.

Let me anticipate your next question, " What makes you so sure he was the one that gave the order to disperse the rally?"

Abagworo:
Teargas is not bullet. The issue here is that Police was doing their job independently and used teargas in attempt to disperse protesters. What is Okorocha's business there?

1. The incident happened in front of Douglas house
2. The Policemen involved is part of the security protocol in front of the government house.
3. A member of the police team came to us and demanded we don't come close to the government house, that the rally should stop before the government house but that was turned down.

Considering the rally was peaceful, with police excort up to the government house before it deteriorated, ask that question again.

Abagworo:
http://www.channelstv.com/2016/02/04/imo-doctors-protest-alleged-hospital-concession-plan/

The NMA made this call during a peaceful protest
in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
They maintained that the association is not
against the concession policy, but the
government needs to follow some laid down
procedures.


However, the protest turned bloody when one of
the doctors was badly injured as a result of
teargas allegedly fired by the Police to dispatch
the protesters.


Visiting the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri,
where the injured victim was being treated, the
doctor in charge noted that the victim lost so
much blood but responded to treatment.


In reaction to the allegation, the Police in the
state maintained that their men did not shoot at
anyone but was trying to maintain peace when
some hoodlums tried to hijack the protest.


Following this development, the Nigerian Medical
Association in the state vowed to close down all
health facilities until the issue has been resolved.

I knew you would come to defend your check depositor so, like I told you, I was at the rally.
The protest requested for and for approval for the protest. We had police and DSS protection during protest. Two police vans behind and DSS truck in front. The DSS were not spared by the smoke of the tear gas. Look at the picture of the person that shot the canister ; does that look like a hoodlum?

Abagworo:
Politicising every issue does not make sense to me. If it was another State that built these kind of hospitals, the same people condemning it will ask why Okorocha can't. Let us always say the truth and appreciate good no matter our tribe, religion or political allegiance.

Kindly list out the lies I made in that writeup

greatness22:
Am so happy if this news is true... Am proud to be a Deltan.

I don't understand, are you proud that he was re-arrested, proud that he is to face new charges, proud that he was caught with more loot or proud to be genetically or regionally affliated with an crook or proud that he is in a British prison?

Abagworo:
Africans seem to detest development. Okorocha invested billions of Naira in building those standard General Hospitals and I wholely support privatization. In the long run the entire country will flock Imo State for medical attention. To enjoy subsidised health care people will need to register and pay health insurance. That is how it's done in civilised societies. To me its a bold step into the future and more States will surely join Okorocha's model.

The state has a specialist hospital which requires specialized equipments to operate. The governor built a private diagnostic center with the specialized equipments, generating revenue not for the state but for his pocket. He then shut down the state hospitals and asked all the doctors. He so dislike doctors that he got some Israelites, non doctors but who read business administration to manage the diagnostic center.
The MRI machine is not working, the CT scan reporting is spurious and lab results are rejected by referring doctors and the center has a high staff turnover rate. As it stands now, no specialist or consultant is resident in that diagnostic center ( I dare you to mention 3).
As if that is not enough, you conceded two of the General hospitals to the same Israelites to manage ( talk about privatization and following due progress)
A state for medical tourism? What happened to the "health at your doorstep" and the 50 ambulances he bought for the state 4 years ago? They have been repainted black for IMO foundation.

Before you reply on the issue of Imo State as a medical tourism state, kindly follow the news tomorrow.

1. Cocaine was never completely removed. An extract from Cocaine called extract number 5 is still used and causes the addition to coke.

2. Do not drink coke with drugs, especially paracetamol. It causes the production of benzene which is cancer producing and very toxic to the liver.

3. There are videos on YouTube in which coca cola was used to clean dirty bathrooms.

4. When coca cola contained Cocaine, it was widely used and endorsed by the Catholic Church. Google "praise be to Pemberton's wine".

What PDP and wailers see....

I am back!



My phone screen got cracked hence my absence


One yeye roller coasta game threw me from my chair and my phone landed on the floor ,.....samsung screen scattered like raw egg

I am back anyway,..

Where is the guru?

LOL, lol, oh my God. Laughed really hard when I read this. Have experienced motion sickness but not to that level.
If a roller Coaster app made you fall then what will happen when you play End Space VR?
Now everybody can make his own Cardboard, just go to instructables.com and search how.
Still have the magnets and lens avaliable.
By next month some members at Hackaday.com will incorporate the Google cardboard with Xbox360.

3D Gamers heaven.

Abagworo:
A great man. I respect Mr Okorocha and appreciate what he has achieved with little resources and heavy burden..

His handshake with Obama comes to mind, that was a great achievement

Abagworo:
That amount was never spent but beautification is important too. Imo is a tourist State and needs constant maintenance in terms of beauty. The 600million was a propaganda gone too far made by Okorocha's opponent Ihedioha.

You mean the small London via waterfall and such could not generate enough money for the state?
The last time you talked about Oguta but failed to highlight the features in Orlu that make it worthy of a tourist attraction. The hotels are situated only in Owerri ; you can hypothetical throw a stone and it will hit 4 hotels before returning to earth. Same can not be said for Okigwe, Orlu and other places. No waterfall I guess.

Abagworo:
One thing good about Buhari era is Nigerians coming to terms with reality. Most States after the minimum wage saga were forced into carrying unrealistic wage bill and opposition States were more affected as they needed welfarism to withstand overbearing FG and stubborn Labour Unions.

Okorocha has been trying to concession parastatals so that they fend for themselves in order to reduce financial burden on Government but people are fighting him that he should run the State with allocation alone. What he simply said is the case with all the States that adopted the 18k minimum wage at the peak of oil boom. Now that oil has fallen below 35 Dollars 90% of States earn less than their wage bill.

The entire States have same problem but Okorocha is singled out.

http://www.punchng.com/we-can-no-longer-pay-n18000-minimum-wage-governors/

Finally he arrives. Welcome
While campaigning for his second term, he specifically said JOBS, JOBS, JOBS. he knew the amount he receives from federal allocation and the many income generating businesses he setup. From where will be have gotten the money to finance the jobs be planned to create?
Speaking of his election promise of jobs, jobs, jobs, we assumed he would create jobs not terminate 3000 jobs.
Maybe they were ghost workers?

On the issue of concession of parastatals, name one state that has conceded the most important basic service. Lagos State and a couple of states up north provide free medical services sponsored by, guess who, the state government.

Amazing. 5 pages and Abagworo hasn't appeared to defend the best Governor in Nigeria.

Can you give the agitated members a copy of the bible and ask them to point out where Catholics or Anglican is written in the Bible or where it is written been Anglican or Catholic are guaranteed entry into Heaven?

Remember to share this again

bishop4life:
@Leopantro please remove the board from the casing and snap the back of the board. Concentrate on the areas around the two wires that supply the battery. Also I will like to know if the Ammeter reads when on load. And the fan, does it blow?

The Ammeter doesn't read when on load and since the indicator doesn't turn red, the fan doesn't turn.

bishop4life:
No, you don't have to buy all the items.

First, check the fuse with multimeter to see if there is continuity. If you don't have a multimeter you can just jumper (bridge) the two terminals of the fuse with a short wire (I normally do this with a single piece of stranded flexible wire, the one used to connect speakers).

Will I bridge the fuse with the flexible wire while the smart charger is on or off and when I do what do I expect to see?

bishop4life:
You are right bro, those are the fuse and the thyristor I mentioned above. The fuse is normally a glass tube but the possibility of it being black is there since it doesn't have color code . The thyristor is normally blue or arm green but as well doesn't have color code so also have possibility of being brown.

But traditionally, if you are working on a faulty circuit it's normal to start with the inflow which points back to the two components. His problem is somewhere between the three I pointed above and their high probabilities comes with their arrangements.

The two black things are the fuse and the thyristor. The fuse has a black coating with numbers on it ; I can see the numbers 837 C something in it.
The thyristor is round and black

ceejay80s:
for those using their inverter setup with led or lcd tv, pls reduce the backlight, contrast and brightness of ur led or lcd tv to get more watch time on ur inverter

Also avoid using a USB hard drive in your TV while using the inverter, use a flash drive. For some strange reason, the TV uses more electricity accessing the hard drive.

bishop4life:
These are what to look up to.


1. Check the inlet fuse. Sometimes it comes as 1-100ohms resistor.

2. Check the thyristor. It might possibly drop or break the inlet current.


3. Check those transistors. Normally mosfet transistors just check the number on it then buy and replace.


If you are staying in onitsha and environmental, pm me.

Wonderful, this makes it a lot easier. Will copy out the ratings on all the components you pointed out and try and get them over the weekend. If I'm out of luck will definitely contact you. Currently in Owerri.

ceejay80s:
if the capacitor top is swollen ' change it, a capacitor is not more than 100naira at idioro mushin

None of the capacitors are swollen and can't detect that snell associated with burnt electrical parts

I'm wondering if it's that capacitor close to the output black and red wires close to the bottom of the picture because the Meter does not register the voltage through the output I. E the meter rests on zero when I connect the batteries unlike before when it swings to 12v when I connects to battery.

ceejay80s:
dont forget to let us know the outcome

Checked it. Got a mechanic to rig a 12v bulb with wires, Didn't work. Connected it to a stabilizer, didn't work. connected it to a 12v portable DVD player, didn't work. Kept showing green light like Ice prince's girlfriend but no red light. Don't know what to do.
Here's a picture of the inside ;would appreciate it if someone could show me which component has stopped working and I will try and replace it.

ceejay80s:
Try look for a 12volt bulb at any electrical shop and connect ur smart charger to it, connect the red(+) and he black (-) of the chager to the 12volt bulb and see if the bulb light will come ON , if it does that means the charger is working or look for a 12vots cooling fan and connect to the fan and see if the fan will roll
i believe ur charger is still ok

Thanks, will try that

ceejay80s:
My guy, have u tried plugging it to a stabilizer ? My be ur light is low over there,
If it doesn't work that way, it will need repairing

If I plug it to electricity but don't connect it to battery, the green light comes on. If I disconnect it from electricity and connect it to the batteries, the green light goes on. If I connect it to electricity and the battery, the green light doesn't change to red to indicate it's charging the battery. However, the batteries are dead and don't power the UPS. The UPS is working, took it for servicing yesterday. If I connect the UPS to the battery, it lasts for a few seconds before going off meaning that the UPS charged the battery a little.

ceejay80s:
But mine is still working, check the switch at the back of the charger,maybe its off .

No its not. The thing is I'm in the east and don't have anyone to help me drop it at the shop I bought it from. Wouldn't be in Lagos for a while.

I noticed that no single diagnostic center was mentioned in the east, odd? Meanwhile, in order not to do what Ebonyi state did, one suspected case of Lassa was identified in Imo State.the patient was referred to Irrua. Don't know if the patient went to Irrua eventually. The other suspected case died.
