    This is how much I hate the nubs on my Pandora

    I tried my luck with desoldering braid, but that wasn't efficient enough and I was concerned about frying something on the other side of the PCB. Thanks for the tip with a desoldering pump. I will definitely buy one :-)

    This is how much I hate the nubs on my Pandora

    EvilDragon made me an early Christmas present .... aaaaaaaand here we go!  :lol: So far, the new nubs work very well and I am finally satisfied with those little troublemakers. Changing them was not easy and I struggled a lot with removing the solder. Luckily, there was an easier way to...

    Have you tried your luck with superglue already? I would be careful and try some other kind of glue. Superglue (cyanoacrylate) emits fumes that might settle on surrounding surfaces and render contacts non-conductive.

    Alright, then I can lean back an relax ... time is not really an issue in this case :-)

    This is how much I hate the nubs on my Pandora

    Any news on this? I sent you a PM some days ago  ;) If it saves you some time, I could even de-solder nubs from broken PCBs myself ...

    This is how much I hate the nubs on my Pandora

    Hm, I just took a look at https://www.dragonbox.de/en and didn't see any nubs! Only defective Pandora PCBs, but it might be difficult to remove the nubs from one of those without destroying them :-(

    This is how much I hate the nubs on my Pandora

    Thanks for all the condolences :-D A long time ago, I tried using the right nub as mouse replacement, and it was similarly bad/useless. I will report if new nubs work better ... but this will take a while :-)

    This is how much I hate the nubs on my Pandora

    Thanks for the tip, I will order two new nubs ... the left nub actually doesn't do a much worse job now than it used to do when it still was "alive" ... sometime you have to break what is breaking you ;-)

    Release The Ur-Quan Masters

    Too bad that it is impossible. I am aware that it might look weird or even make it unplayable, but it would have been interesting to try it ;-)

    Release The Ur-Quan Masters

    Wow, re-living some good childhood memories :-) Is it possible to stretch the game to full screen? I tried by modifying the uqm.cfg with "usegl = BOOLEAN:true", "reswidth = INT32:800" and added "keepaspectration = BOOLEAN:false", but nothing changed.

    Release Precise touchscreen calibration

    How can one re-calibrate with keyboard controls? All I know off is the "nub dance" and using the "reset nubs" option in the nub configuration (followed by a dance). Mine lose calibration frequently and after seconds to minutes :-( And I'm still not sure if I will RMA my Pandora ... I made an...

    Release Precise touchscreen calibration

    Wow, this is working wonders on my screen! :-D Thanks a lot!  :wub: You wouldn't by any chance have a magic cure for the nubs (going out of calibration after some minutes) as well? :ph34r:

    [solved] Need help starting WiFi after standby or suspend

    That's all written in my first posting here in this thread. My workaround is to deactivate WiFi before I suspend, which seams to work well. I have re-installed the OS and it is up to date.

    [solved] Need help starting WiFi after standby or suspend

    Wizard, are you confusing low power mode with suspend to RAM? Suspend is still not handled well on the Pandora, and probably never will. And there will probably never be an update of NetworkManager that might fix the suspend problem with WiFi either. I started disabling WiFi before I suspend my...

    Pandora PNDManager

    Thanks for the new release! I was wondering if it was possible for PNDManager to name PNDs after their entry in the repository? There are some PNDs that contain a release date or version number, and this breaks shortcuts/links on the desktop after an update because the updated PND will have a...

    Pandora PNDManager

    The queuing seems to work reliably now :-) I updated 8 PNDs without any errors and repeated the process 3 times. With the old version (1.3.6.6), a download got stuck after 2 or 3 PNDs already. I even had a PND downloading without being in the queue ... Being able to launch PNDs from the...

    Pandora PNDManager

    The queuing system is working fine in the new release. I will download old versions of some PNDs and try updating them in the evening (when my internet connection is worst/slowest) and see if I can provoke downloads getting stuck (after I assured myself that the old version of PNDManager from...

    SuperZaxxon v1.60 released

    Did you wake your Pandora from the low power mode or from suspend to RAM? Suspend to RAM has always been troublesome due to charging issues (I am not talking about the inability to charge while the Pandora is in suspend to RAM mode, but how the switching of power mode is being handled by scripts...

    Pandora PNDManager

    Is there a difference between automatic downloads from the update queue and manual downloads from within a PNDs details page? Last time I synced, there where quite some updates available. I ran into the broken download problem quickly. Then I set the updater to only download one PND at a time...
