I see dead people
Do you know ANYTHING about radar? "My Cobra is the best because it injects LEOs with Venom!" Look at your microwave oven. There's a metal screen on the door of it, just like the screen/wall in his van, that screen stops the waves from escaping. If you take that screen away your face melts! Well not really, but the kitchen would be a bad place to be in. Plus he said the van had NO rear windows. That's like trying to pickup radar through the side of a semi truck. We all know that doesn't work. Before you try to insult people, and a whole country of people, why don't you do your homework? Make sure you know what you're talking about first. Thanks, and have a lovely day!
LOL I think im going to piss myself...lol I actually was on barefeet ona rubber mat so no worry of static, no fingers wer on direct contact with copper board. i also think I know what I am doing, yes they are my detectors and no i am not insane for pulling these apart, im an experienced electronics tech and these detectors are childs play compared to what else i do.That is rather disconcerting about how that one detector has that hand written error message in there. I wouldn't like finding that at all in one I purchased for my own use. Plus it reads like they found a problem with it but couldn't figure out what the actual problem was. Scarey stuff there! Did it get fixed you have to wonder?
You are insane taking those detectors apart and just handling them like that! You're making me cringe just looking at those pictures of you handling those with no protection what so ever.
Obviously you didn't have to buy these or you'd be more worried about ruining them. I hope you did all of this AFTER your testing. Damage from static electricity into sensitive electronic components doesn't always mean something will just not work at all, but it could certainly have an effect on how well it does actually work, easily adding an unseen and negative factor to any potential testing you do after handling these in this way.
You should have those on an anti static pad with a wrist strap on grounding static electricity from your body. I would also be wearing latex gloves if that was my own actual detector just to prevent the acids from my hands corroding everything in there.
$10 for a pad and strap could have saved you possibly a couple thousand dollars in damage there.
I would certainly not encourage anyone to just take their detector apart and handle it in this way. Go to Radio Shack or what ever and at least get an anti static pad and a wrist strap, $10. Like I said, you might not even know you've damaged something right away by not using protection, not working at all is always possible, but usually the problems from this type of damage are not always immediately noticeable.
In my primary drive vehicle (a utility van, no rear windows, rear metal "headache rack" wall seperating front from cargo area). I seem to get excellant rear detection with my 9500i. No way anything is coming in directly through the back of my vehicle, so picking up bounce from rear to front seems to work very well. I'm always actually amazed how well I detect from the rear, I have an absolute worst case scenario for it, even worse than a large RV that would never have so much metal blocking the rear.
I usually wear my rubber soled sneakers and rub them on the carpet for about 1/2 hour before I touch any electronic. Sometime i will put on wool gloves too.
Much better is wearing either a wool or synthetic fiber sweater. That way you are guaranteed to unknowingly zap something.
Years ago I read an interesting article in a computer magazine where engineers wanted to track down the source of premature electronics equipment failures. They determined that the cause usually was static electricity damage during the assembly process of the product. Even though ESD precautions were being observed, they noted that careless handling occasionally generated a small amount of ESD and that this had a negative impact on the expected lifetime of the electronics. The ESD discharges were small enough to only very slightly damage some of the electronic components. Yet this lead to premature failures -- sometimes as long as a few years later -- yet well before the expected MTBF for the design.
By the way I am an American. And we have the worse education in the world so typical American is stupid.Do you know ANYTHING about radar? "My Cobra is the best because it injects LEOs with Venom!"

^^^It sure doesn't sound like you're any better... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
Education has nothing to do with if someone is stupid or not. Some of the smartest people man kind has ever known had very little education and some of the stupidest people have a tone of education (actually allot of educated people are stupid).
Stupid is as stupid does.
Judging by your diction, I'd say you're right.
Absolutely agree with you. That is why all smart people become salesman and smartest of the smart become an appliance repair tech.Education has nothing to do with if someone is stupid or not.
