Why I will not be attending tonight’s meeting:
If anyone here knows anyone at Hewlett Packard, tell them I HATE THEM. EVERY TIME I HAVE TO WORK ON AN HP ITS A NIGHTMARE. All my testing and bloodwork today isn’t helping. CURSE YOU HP.

It can only be one thing now, a sensor. It’s a 59.f0 error and I’ve already replaced every other part. Now I have to go DEEP into this thing and it was engineered by a sadist. It’s gonna take a couple of hours, easy. I’m just gonna tear it down as much as I can today and come back tomorrow. I’d say junk it, but they want it working because we just got toner for it.
It’s SO IRRITATING. Honestly it’s the nice part though. I can’t handle people. So as long as they understand I’m not a miracle worker, I’ll do what I can and I’m happy to do it alone. I had to withdraw from my Java class this semester so I’m happy with hardware over software. That being said, I WILL CURSE THE ENGINEER WHO BUILT THIS THING. No reason to make a part replaceable and make it THIS hard to replace.
What exactly is the complaint ie “overheating”, “not turning on”, “wrong part” etc
fwiw anybody who cares, this is likely a printer based on my quick google-fu
@JSERR idk if I can link it but: try this Solved: Printer Error 59.F0 - can't print - HP Support Community - 7447994
If not, I’ll dm you

It just won’t let me get past the error. Even tried to update firmware and it didn’t work. What I found is that there is a sensor that sticks like crazy on these model HP’s. I’m gonna have to bring some shrink tubing. Seems like a simple but very involved fix. Thanks for the link! It gave me a few other things to try tomorrow before going too much further.
these printers always gave me heartburn. I do not envy you nor do i have any advice other than run.

I would just like to say that tonight’s Club meeting was especially nice for me. As of late I have felt it get increasingly difficult for me to maintain social interactions. If there is anyone not aware, I have a family history of high cholesterol and the accompanying heart issues that go along with that. In 2016 I had my 5th stent placed in my heart and I was 46 years old. 2 hours into recovery I went into cardiac arrest (that’s when your heart stops beating and blood is no longer flowing to vital organs like the brain). I suffered brain damage which has only increased in its severity over the years. At this point in my life I am 53 years old and my brain is damaged in a way that makes it difficult to focus my attention on anything in a way that is similar to halfway curling a 50 pound dumbbell and holding it indefinitely. It only takes a while before it becomes impossible to hold that weight any longer and you have to let go. That is what it feels like to me to focus my attention in any fashion. It takes very little for my mind to start having difficulty even controlling the muscles in my body and it becomes again similar to physical exercise to even focus my eyes or stand up and walk. I then need to relax my mind at which point there are no real thoughts going on in my head…just noise. So I didn’t get to contribute much to the meeting until late in the evening after a fair amount of alcohol had been consumed which is at present making it exceptionally difficult to write this statement. 
But it was very nice to have the meeting to focus on and the friends that were there to talk with. It just means a lot to have you all in my life actually caring about me as a person and standing with me to help me stay me during my struggles. I feel me losing a grip on myself and it’s not a fun place to be. I just want you all to know that your presence makes a difference and it’s very much appreciated. Sorry for the long winded response but I assure you that it took me a whole lot longer to write it than it took you to read it. Thank you for sticking with me and for being the cool people that you are.

I purposed a trick idea I have been “Throwing” around and actually landed it for the first time on the meeting stream!

I can honestly say I feel like you may have been one of a few here who have seen me kinda go downhill a bit. I’m still holding on and it means a whole lot just having people along with me. I have an absolutely amazing family. My wife and I have always been “that” couple that just gets along and really respects and loves one another. That really rubbed off on our kids who are amazing young people, so I always had a very strong support system at home, but to come to know such special people who would come to know me just because we share a love for a toy. It’s really just astounding. Maybe tomorrow I can say more but…dang…it’s 12:26am and I’ve had a lot to drink…

I was so glad to see so many faces last night! I’m another who doesn’t tend to socialize much. It’s overwhelming much of the time for me. Zoom stuff works amazingly well, and it’s nice to laugh and talk with folks, share stories, and get to see all the cool stuff y’all are doing!

Yo! Same here!
I think it’d be really cool to have a weekly time slot where we open the zoom meeting for a throw sesh. Doesn’t have to be a “club meeting” every week, but I do think a weekly throw sesh, that we can jump in and out of as we please would be really cool!
