There were cars right behind me in both lanes. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnPAgDduONY

Here we have it, the final installment in the left-for-dead TRS-80 Model II! The thing had stumped me earlier this year with a very difficult to diagnose issue. Thanks to the brand new TSR-80 Model II diagnostic ROM, fixing this just required some logical thinking and it led me right to the problem!
Watch all the previous installments in the TRS-80 Model II repair series here:

The year was 1982 and NEC entered the home computer market (outside Japan) with the NEC APC, or Advanced Personal Computer. The machine sported an Intel 8086 CPU, ran MS-DOS and sported dual integrated 8" floppy drives! In this video I'll take a look at the machine inside and out, and do a repair on it so I can get it working again.

I decide to look for a serial port on the Dexcom G5. I found it and it turns out the Dexcom runs Windows CE. It is failing during boot and the exception doesn't seem to be consistent.

The community has come up with a process of removing yellowing from plastics using peroxide. It is typically referred to as Retrobrite. Normally, you need to apply the peroxide cream and put the item out in the sun until the yellowing goes away. This has potential of going too far and damaging the plastic resulting in marbling and streaks.
Recently, people have started looking into ways to control the process by performing it indoors using heat, UV light and/or ozone generators.
I tried a method that doesn't involve UV, heat or ozone. Does it work?
