I'm pretty sure i won't get an answer out of this, but i'm going to try anyways.

I have a Plantronics headset DSP 500 with a mic.

Lately the sound in the left earphone has been going out in it, it has sound at one moment, then if i turn my head it loses sound.

I'm guessing there is a short in the headset somewhere, and i was looking for suggestions on how to fix it, if there is a way to fix it. I payed $70 on the headset, and i really can't afford buying another one at the moment.
 
Look for breaks in the wire, if there are no visible breaks, then the wire inside the plastic jacketing may have become separated from bending in different directions too frequently. Another thing to check is to pull apart the earpiece and see that the connection of the wire to the speaker within is still solid. The likelihood though is that it is related to frequent bending of a certain part of the wire at some juncture and unless you have some way of splicing back together the wire, buying a new one will be your only option.
 
Problem solved, costed me $5.

Called plantronics customer service, told them i had got this headset as a present a few months back, and i mailed it to them today. They will send me a brand new one as soon as they recieve it.

    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.

    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.

    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:

    Weekend went by too fast. Next weekend I am going to try to do a nature thing - buddy of mine lives by the Colorado river and has some kayaks and invited me to do some kayaking from a place he knows to get on the river.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    That sounds like an adventure.
