How to disable a blinkie
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The easiest way to disable a blinkie is to take a large paper clip and extend
|
||
|
|
one end of it so that it looks like this...
|

|
You then insert the tool into the holes evident on the blinkie's surface. The
|
||
|
|
location of the hole depends on the color of the blinkie (and manufacturer).
|
||
|
|
The blue blinkie commonly found in wealthy suburban areas is disabled by
|
||
|
|
inserting the tool into the hole directly in the middle of the blinkie's body.
|
||
|
|
You should hear a "click" and the blinkie will cease to function. The red
|
||
|
|
blinkie commonly found in highway construction sights uses the offset hole
|
||
|
|
located in either the upper hand right or left of the blinkie's body. You will
|
||
|
|
NOT hear a click with the red one because it uses a slide switch instead of a
|
||
|
|
pushbutton one. Again, the blinkie will turn off. Yellow and black blinkies
|
||
|
|
turn off in a similar way as the red ones.
