... and of course I will not share it here.

Why not, it would lend credibility to your story?

Redact any personally identifying data of course (including any case number).

One of my three 27" monitors developed a vertical stripe which grew and grew until I finally had to get a new one.

I have a 3 monitor "tree" which has had 3 identical Samsung monitors, ideally the replacement would be of the same model. 

Unfortunately that monitor is no longer available, so I got the nearest modern version, again from Samsung.

Went to swap the monitors, two cables and 4 screws on the Vesa mount, easy peasy, yes?

Then I find that the Vesa mount on the new monitor is nowhere near the same distance from the bottom edge of the screen as the existing ones leading to that monitor being "somewhat" out of line. "Somewhat" being around 2 whole inches, the tree does have some adjustment but nothing like that.

So I had to make an adaptor plate from 1mm FR-4 (PCB material) which happened to be in stock.

Eight holes and 4 screws later the job is done and everything lines up.

No great hassle just a pain that I didn't need.

36 British nationals have passed away this month. We have been busy providing support to families and other next of kin.   

May I respectfully ask how many of these were covid related? (unvaccinated older persons)

A common tyrap could hold for a while, but keep your eye on it and try to fix it in good way.

The heat will make it older faster and then it crumbles.

Good point. Your local custom exhaust place should have stainless steel ones for a more permanent fix.

I'm a little confused @Injured where are you right now, back in the States or somewhere else?

Nothing to stop us asking the OP for the link, or is there?

So, pray tell, why did you post that you had an O-A visa, it's not like A and M are next to each other on the keyboard.

I agree with much of the above, and since these were the regular chaps I doubt anything untoward was going on, but I would still be writing a strongly worded letter to the building management. I'm sure it's purely lack of training that's the issue here.

Despite having a uniform and a whistle these security guys have no more right to search than any other member of the public, they must rely upon your cooperation.

• They took your bag without your permission.
• They removed it from your sight and opened it without your permission.
• They physically searched inside it without your permission and out of your sight.
• They physically prevented you from observing what they were doing to your bag.

In some jurisdictions that's enough for a criminal prosecution (probably not in Thailand mind).

I hope they have some female security staff if they're going to start manhandling members of the public (even here that's assault).

Of course, give it a week and all will be back to normal smiles and cursory look.

What next, Indian style 'V Day Police' who snatch couples off the street (usually for holding hands) and force them to get married on the spot?

Happy Birthday to His Majesty the King of Thailand.

Bignose does have valid points and I'm sure that most of us would happily pay a pro. to do the job.

Problem is finding a pro. who really is professional, licensed, here? Which is of course why our OP posted here.

Plenty of other sites offering electrical help, many based in the US, perhaps he should go there and tell them their expert advice is not wanted.

Just a quickie. I've finally been offered a job in Thailand, hurrah!

The lawyers for the outfit I'm going to work for say I have to have a non-B before I can get a work permit.

I really don't want to give up my new (2 months ago) marriage extension.

Is it possible to get a WP on a marriage extension? (I'm sure it used to be, anything changed?)

to find one another attractive to start with.

I have never gone to bed with an ugly woman, they all look attractive to start with.

I have indeed woken up with a few (ugly ones that is).

I want to be white girl next time, so I can get me some of those free houses and alimony.

what if youre reborn as a fat white girl with a limp?

Or a hot Thai girl who has to sleep with old white fat men.

Who has a limp .....

There was coverage on the TV news this morning, lots of pictures of obsolete CRT TVs going up in smoke.

Insurance perhaps?

"Waddafaq is Gone Wrong" is the name of his new religion.

Now all we need is a suitable creation story and he's good to go.

No point cutting the cables, that will lead only to temporary relief, but if it's wired in the typical Thai 'speaker cable' you can push a sewing pin through both cores and snip off the ends close to the cable.

It will be the devil to find and could be a permanent fix

Sorry Stephanie, but your biased, US-Centric, patronising posts are about as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit (and as helpful).

EDIT. Would 'no voltage between either pin and ground' not also indicate no live? Or am I missing something?

These items are common in every discount and hardware store in the USA.

Incredibly, this site is called ThaiVisa.com, not US-Visa.com, we 'ain't not in the good ole US of A, it's a tad too far to nip to Walmart.
