@enpaton @salvagedcircuit @ishikawa @jeffsu Mark White kjohnst @joaoripper cwestp Tyler Wolfe Micah Mary S @barberousse bdnmarshall @nmurali @mtdrz8 Ferenc Bedo davidclawson Tobiasz Gromysz sorry I clumped you all together in here. You guys have no idea what this support really means to us frontline staff . As some of you know I am an RN and the director over an ED and ICU in a small 70 bed hospital. Yes we are running out of supplies. We do have N95 masks and gowns etc. but our supplyline is good for 2 (two) days after that there just is no more. We can’t even get a “no-touch thermometer” This is is absolutely crazy and so frustrating. I have been talking to our biomed guy, correct singular as we only have one (contracted service and responsible for 5 other hospitals). Most common vents we have are the Puritan Bennett (Medtronic) (ours are the 840 model) and I learned that this model luckily does not suffer from any common parts failing. Most problems are leaks in the system pressure circuit. Software and...

@jogihara stay safe and make sure that everybody around you is safe too. Make sure you look after those that need help the most, right now our elderly population. Social distance does not mean social isolation and can make this worse for those groups. Let’s help each other out and look after each other. Good luck to all of us and remember that the Force will be with us. We are our brothers keeper….:-)

@simon1969 I wish I could tear one of ours down but BioMed is going to chop my fingers off :>) We are running a bit short right now as well and are keeping some of our older broken-down vents for spare parts. We anticipate a big need for those in the next few weeks. It is going to be a bit of a mess but we will prevail. Everybody stay safe and heed the advice given by your local health authorities. Even better, talk to your nurses to get a a real picture of what is going on. Sorry, got off on a tangent. simon, once this has settled down I will tear one down for you, even if it is the last thing I will ever tear down. For now, download the service manuals I have to see if you can learn anything from those to get you started with your project. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CSBrvQ...

@sarahw could you and your team look through the stash of guides by this user please https://www.ifixit.com/User/3274962/Phry... They are most certainly informative (some say access forbidden etc.) but I am somewhat confused by the credit link to REWA Technology etc., on all of those as well as the watermarks in all of the images posted. Looks like SPAM on a higher level to me but I shall leave this up to TPTB :-)

Hi @sarahw here is another one https://www.ifixit.com/User/Activity/318...

@sarahw this one https://www.ifixit.com/User/3335438/%E0%... has got to go

@danj @jayeff @nick @arbaman @refectio @mayer @oscarsp @kyle @jogihara @sarahw @kristen @jeffsu and all of those that frequent iFixit Answers. How about making a determination if this is a real problem or a perceived problem? I would suggest that all of us will abstain from voting (upvote or downvotes) as well as from accepting answers, for a certain amount of time. I’d propose something like a month. For some of us that won’t be an issue anyway. After that, let’s tally the results and see how many answers have been voted on or accepted by the OP. I am certain that @kyle and his team can get that data and provide us with those numbers. Based on that, the iFixit Dev team could maybe develop and implement something more effective.

@michaeld2 repair must be a transparent, multipronged process. Open comments and discussions amongst all users has a far greater probability to lead to a successful repair. We are here to help and empower everyone to fix their devices. By doing this “in a better manner without posting it for the whole community to see” and only making suggestions to a specific user, you are limiting this severely. If you want to make a suggestion, or need more information from any OP, just do that in comments for all to see. Remember that even if you may feel it may be somewhat outlandish etc. it is still okay to post. There is no flaming or bullying in the forum.

@sarahw here is one that should leave us https://www.ifixit.com/User/2610739/Fran...
