No OS on echo show 10 3rd gen

Try to recovery this came out

it either sounds robotic or scratchy why is this

there is no issue with the network as we are one 180mbps so why is this occurring

After looking into replacement options, I found that replacement touch panels are difficult to source. Since I rarely use the touch controls and mostly rely on "Hey Siri", I decided to try disconnecting the touch interface instead.

Using a teardown as a reference, I found that disassembly is relatively straightforward and the touch panel connector is accessible without too much difficulty.

I did not document the full process, but if you follow a teardown, the general steps are:

• The base is held on with strong adhesive, so you will need to carefully pry it off
• Remove a couple of T6 screws and one T8 screw
• There are a few additional T6 screws securing the internal assembly
• Once inside, locate the ribbon cable for the touch panel, which uses a small lever latch connector
• Disconnect that cable, then reassemble everything

Note:

If replacement touch panels become available, you can replace the touch sensor at this stage instead of disconnecting it, since the connector is already accessible during disassembly.

Result:

You can disconnect the touch panel, reassemble the HomePod, and it will continue to function normally. The only thing that no longer works is the touch input.

I wanted to share this because I had not seen many people suggest simply disconnecting the touch sensor as a workaround. If your HomePod is experiencing ghost touches or random playback, this can be an effective way to keep it usable without replacing parts.

Since most smart speakers are primarily used via voice, losing touch functionality is not a major downside, at least in my case.

Be careful when removing the base adhesive and disconnecting ribbon cables to avoid damage.

Hope this helps others!

i have a 10 yr old 'smart' thermostat. with a life expectancy of 10 yrs... well almost to the day... it just stopped reading temperature accurately or at all? it was displaying 69° - 72° even when i took ot outside in 10° weather...

i have minimal skill, i have done some soldering in the past. reattached USB micro ports and other fiddly things. but this might be beyond my ability...

i was hoping to offer my dead thermostat for the cause... if someone else is willing to reverse engineer it.

otherwise I have pictures of the back of the motherboard and am willing to take it apart more. to at least identify the temperature sensor or w/e failed. because it seems like it was made to fail.. and we can't have that.

any suggestions or do you need more info from me?

thanks!

I think I might have it, I was on the YouTube just now and watching an off the wall vid recommended by my feed... and something crazy happened at the 11 minute mark...

there it is is! that's what they look like! and and they are apparently only like $3.00 USD.

and I've found an eerily similar item on the mobo for the thermostat. (circled in red -- in picture below)
[ also note the arrow pointing out venting in the case, as I believe that is there to help facilitate an accurate reading of temp/humidity.]

I do happen to have another image that I took of the PCB, its not great either, but a little better. (I used flash)
with it we can decipher that what I assume to be the temp sensor says: "ANDU"

not sure if that's helpful..

either way here's this image, until I can get home and take some better ones.

so many pictures :D
