Step One

From now on, this is step one: There were tens of steps before that step in the actual Shark hand-vac fix-it effort, but it really should have been step one. For this post, let’s call it step n. This was step n+1, which led to me assigning ‘whip out the multimeter’ as the new step one… Yep. Didn’t need to do this step: Didn’t need to do any steps < n actually. Just step n, which is now step one. In summation, pull out your multimeter. The Shark works great, and can suck 20V and an Amp from any of the humidifier power sources scattered amongst the house. The power supply was borked, and I was maybe a bit too excited to crack something open than to debug properly. But anyway, we have designated step one, which is noteworthy.
