I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for sharing your story!

I wonder if part of that is the real-time pitch correction. It works well nowadays but there is still some phasing and we're hearing some of that.

Different models may have different screw configurations. Without seeing what yours, I can't know. Shine a flashlight on it. Might be Phillips (cross shape) or Torx (star shape).

That's frustrating! If you're in the UE, Harbor Freight has a long reach hex set for $8. Might also be able to find something under $10 at your local big box store or amazon.

It's definitely more convenient to leave it out. In my house, kitchen counter space is limited so I keep the rice cooker in a cupboard between uses.

That's great! Thanks for letting me know. And the tree is still doing fine as of October 2023, in case anyone is interested.

Hi, it's been working very well! Still has the same battery that I installed in the video. We use this cooker on average 1 - 2 times per week. 🤠

@@ScholtzLife Awesome, thanks for the reply!

Hi, it's Phillips screws. They are recessed approximately 1 inch (or 2cm) into the body. Most medium sized Phillips head screwdrivers should work as long as the shaft isn't too thick.

I'm happy to know it helped! Thanks for leaving a comment.

That's cool it works for other brands as well. Thanks for sharing your success.

Glad you found it helpful! The battery that I installed in this video is still going strong. My family eats a lot of rice and we still use this rice maker several times per week.

@@ScholtzLife I just received a new NS-LGC05 rice cooker, so I do not know if it is still the same inside, but this model has been on the market for over 6 years, so I assume it is. In any case, I will find out in a few years when the battery needs replacing! Thanks again! I picked up one of these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX7Kf4eKpayjr5I&ab_channel=PapiEats

I appreciate your comment. It's been five years since I posted this video. I've been making rice 1-2 times each week without any issues.

That's really cool! I still have this chime but it hasn't had any residents this year.

I'll try to help. Which specific setting are you asking about?

Hi, I'm sorry I haven't tried to remove the handle. There are no exposed screws for the handle. I wonder if you might have to remove the bottom of the unit first. Then look up inside for the mechanism of attachment. Good luck 🤞

In my personal experience, the battery lasts a long time. I use this rice maker every week and the battery installed during this video is still working in spring 2022.

Thank you! We've heard quite a few compliments from our neighbors and other passers by.

The cooker still works with a dead battery. The default clock will come on whenever the unit is plugged in but the battery keeps the time. Thus, when the battery is dead, the clock time will be lost whenever the unit is unplugged and will need to be set each time the unit it plugged in.

On ours, like so many, the battery died. Works fine when plugged in, but the time resets each time. So every time I make rice I set the time, then the timer. Takes an extra 15 seconds. I’m intrigued by this replacement video, might try it. Fantastic rice cooker - had it for maybe 10 years.

What kind of rice are you cooking...white, brown, sushi...? The Zojirushi inner bowl has markings for type of rice and water level. For example, add 3/4 cups (180 ml) of white rice and then fill the bowl with water up to the "White Rice 2" line marking.

Belgard makes high quality components, in my opinion. I looked at other brands but kept gravitating back to Belgard. The pavers looks amazing in person. They produce a large selection of pavers and blocks so there's a good chance you'll find something you like. However, I recommend going to your local hardscape supply store and looking at Belgard plus any other brands they carry. It's beneficial to see these in person. Regarding popularity, yes I feel they are popular in 2021. I've received multiple compliments from passersby.

Ohh wow! That's disappointing. I read that come countries are enacting (or have enacted) laws that require products to be more serviceable. Bummer if Zojirushi is going in the opposite direction. Anyway, as of 2021 my battery replacement is still going strong. Thanks for your comment.

That's not all; while three of the screws at the bottom of the unit can be removed with a standard Phillips screwdriver, the other screw is a non-standard star with a prong in the center, making it impossible to remove. I tried using a power drill to wear down the prong without success. I haven't given up; I AM going to defeat this latest unwarranted attempt to lock us out just so the greedy manufacturer can make more money. Some Zojirushi employee looking for a promotion must've seen this or a similar video and said, "Oh, no; we're going to stop that right now!" People are naturally selfish but companies can be extremely greedy. Their motto remember, is, :It's not personal; it's business." This relieves them of all human feelings and compassion. An example of this is the COVID-19 vaccines released by big pharma, which they lied and told us are completely safe and necessary, but turned out to be harmful. They were clearly motivated by greed. They said they'd release their research data on the vaccines in 75 years, when everyone working on them is already dead.

"Bella" is the color of the pavers and the wall. If you're in the Phoenix area, the Marvel stores have samples out on display.

@@ScholtzLife Thanks, that's what we are looking at using in our backyard. Just wanted to confirm. Thanks!

Mine had a dead battery. Not sure about your button. Perhaps it's an electrical wiring issue.

I apologize I didn't see this question. Tree is doing well as of July 2022. I left the staked and taped for the first 2 years after planting. Might have been too long but I didn't want the bark to burn in the Arizona heat.

Hi, thanks for watching and I'm glad you found the video helpful.

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you found this video helpful. You make a good point -- this particular Zojirushi is built to last!

Hi, yes it's still working great. I use it 1 - 2 times each month; no issues.

i think the tape is too far from any indirect heat source to do any damage anyway

Hi Gabriel, I'm sorry I didn't produce it well enough. Was one of my first videos ever. I did include a text flow diagram here in the video description. It lists all the parts I used and the order in which I connected them. If you have a specific question please let me know and I'll try to answer. Note, I have since given the TV to my Dad but I still have access to it if necessary. Thanks

Hi, it's been a while so I just looked at my NH-VBC18 unit to refresh my memory. On the bottom it has 4 Philips screws, one in each corner. What does the special screw look like? Which model Zojirushi do you have?

I have the same issue with the 'security screw' being one of the 4 screws on th bottom of my NS-ZCC10. It's a star-type screw head with a raised post in the center; therefore a standard drive bit won't work...

I removed the special screw (and rather easily i must say) with a flat slim flat blade screw driver. I had a set with many different widths and found one that spanned from one "star point" to an opposite one passing to one side of the center raised post. Good luck!

Thanks for posting this tip.

It takes a t25 tamper proof torx screwdriver. Not bad to have around specially if you like fixing stuff

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you found the video helpful.

Hi, I'm not familiar with Coby. Maybe it has other possible outputs that might provide audio, such as HDMI, USB, etc.

It has HDMI but no USB port.

Skip the splitter? Yes, that's OK. I should have mentioned that, sorry. I need it on my setup because I also have sound bar speakers.
