  • According to https://tube.tchncs.de/about/instance, user registration is disabled.

    On the same page there is a contact information of the instance admin (a Mastodon account).

    It is probably better if you contact the admin directly.

  • This looks like a step in the right direction. Not quite the same but similar enough. I'll try to look for this manufacturer's catalog. Thank you!

  • Thanks, however searching for "24 pin ECU ECM" yields in variety of connectors, most of which do not look like the picture in my post.

    Also ECU and ECM appears to mean the same thing according to Wikipedia.

    So "24 pin ECU ECM" is probably just a generic search term for all 24-pins ECU connector, instead of the proper name that I am looking for.

  • Yeah, that's probably what I will end up doing. ๐Ÿซฃ

  • I'd just go in "guns blazing" with this thing.

    That's the plan if I cannot find any info of this thing.

  • There is rubber/silicone seal around the inner recess of the socket connector, which I assume is for waterproofing when connected with the male plug.

    I want to find out how to access the seal, to remove it, to replace it (just the seal).

    To be able to do so, I first need to identify the name of the socket connector so I can search for its documentation.

  • Yes, however that listing does not indicate the name of the connector. I have searched that online market site (Tokopedia), and none of the listing that I found actually indicates the proper name of the connector. Some listed the Yamaha part number, but no info about the actual connector name.

    I was hoping a name like "Superseal 24-pin", or something like that. That way I can start searching for documentations, videos, etc.

    Help Identify This Connector

    Hello Ask Electronics community, please help me identify the name of this connector.

    For context, this is from a motor scooter: Yamaha Mio M3 125. This socket connects the ECU to the wiring harness.

    I wish to know how to open this socket to access the rubber/silicone seal inside, and to know that first I need to identify the name of this connector.

    So anyone know what is the name of this connector?

    Something like "Superseal 24-pin" or so. Also, to clarify: I am not searching for replacement part for this connector. I only need to know the name.

    Here are some more pictures of the connector (hover above the picture to see alt-text).

  • the manufacturer doesnโ€™t sell replacements

    Me reading that: I wonder why they don't sell the replacement battery.

  • Do flights normally provide free drinking water? I am under the impression that passengers must buy bottled water in flight if they want to drink.

  • Too easy!

  • ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ™Š well done!

    Fun fact - Indonesia has a city named after vampires

    From Wikipedia:

    The name Pontianak refers to a story about ghosts that people in West Kalimantan refer to as Pontianak (a ferocious female ghost in Malay); it was a ghosts' haunt until Syarif Abdurrahman Alkadrie and his army fought and expelled the ghosts who attacked them by firing cannons. He then built a mosque and a palace, exactly on the location of the ghosts' haunt, and settled there. The mosque and palace became the first buildings in the city, and to this day locals fire bamboo cannons on Ramadan and other holidays in memory of this.

    Add Video Output Port and SATA Port to an Old Firewall

    Not my post/video. Link to mastodon.social post which then links to YouTube video.

    Poster bought an old firewall hardware:

    1. saw unpopulated footprints on the circuit board,
    2. analyzed the chips,
    3. found the serial comm to access BIOS (blocked by password),
    4. dumped the SPI flash memory,
    5. obtained supervisor password,
    6. accessed the BIOS from serial comm,
    7. enabled the video display in BIOS,
    8. soldered the HDMI port,
    9. soldered the SATA power and data ports and the associated components,
    10. connected a SATA SSD,
    11. checked that the SSD is being recognized in BIOS,
    12. made modifications to firewall circuit board to mechanically secure the SSD, and to face plate to facilitate the HDMI port,
    13. installed FreeDOS and used it as a retro gaming PC.
