Is 14 years old modern?

The aircon in the second bedroom works fine, had a new condensor replaced a year ago, so it's as cool as. However the light that lets you know it's on no longer works. I presume this is part of the sensor unit, so does the whole thing need replacing (1200 baht) or can just a globe be replaced?

I like Farrell as an actor but just couldn't get into this. Gave it away after 15 minutes.

Yes

True or not, they all suggest that aircon be run for a while regularly to keep them in good nick. All I know is that things start to fail when you don't.

What was the new part he soldered in?

You know what? I think I'm going to go with the breaker idea. I only need to run it a couple of times a month for 30 minutes, so not a big deal.

The manual switch wouldn't turn it off either.

Some people used to park their (manual) car on a hill rather than buy a new battery.

Like I said, rarely used, so it will be good enough for the times it does. It's 24000 btu.

New.

The aircon wasn't blowing cold air previously, so thatvwas a separate problem.

No, tried turning it on and off at the breaker but it didn't fix it. It's a Samsung.

I considered that, but I didn't want it half fixed. I can afford it without going hungry, so why not?

The fan works fine but the remote won't turn it off, it has to be turned off at the breaker box.

People would soon stop buying them if they developed a reputation for bad quality.

The rarely used aircon in the lounge won't turn off. The compressor does but not the cassette or whatever it's called that has the fan inside the room. The technician says it needs a new control board or something that costs around 3000 baht. Does that seem about right? He replaced something that sounds like a capacitor and regassed the compressor and replaced a globe that lights up when the aircon is running for 1400 baht.

Me. It's better than navel contemplation.

It was a Panasonic, couldn't tell you the model #. This was in Australia over 25 years ago. In fact I still have a Panasonic plasma 50" that I bought when I arrived in Thailand 14 years ago. Never gets used though.

To think I paid around 120,000 baht for my first 42" plasma TV, and had to buy a digital tuner separately.

It was a Samurai sword.

Not for me. I found it to be totally formulaic, bordering on boring.

But he hit it right on the head, told it exactly as it is.

The phrase 'Cry Wolf' is used to indicate that someone is exaggerating or raising a false alarm. Example of Use: “Don't pay attention to Peter (Bob); he's only crying wolf.”

You realize that "crying wolf" only works once?
