  1. yup, there is no damage to the CPU (not even oxidation) and there is also no (obvious) damage to any component on the motherboard.
  2. My friend brought me a P5VD1-X to fix. And I tried everything. I've tried 3 sets of RAM, used different slots, used PCI, PCIe as well as AGP graphics cards, swapped CPU's around, reset the CMOS a couple of times, disconnected everything, I've tried everything. But it just doesn't produce any video. I'm pretty sure the motherboard and the BIOS are fine since they produce a beep code whenever no RAM/GPU is installed. There are no dead caps, no bent pins, the battery is at an acceptable 2.87V. My friend told me that this happened after he installed a new CPU and hard drive (the CPU is compatible according to ASUS). I really don't know what to do now. Any help is appreciated!
  3. If you really plan to store your Li-Ion batteries for a long period of time, overdischarging is what's really damaging your battery. If thoser batteries go down to about 1.5V, they're likely just about dead.
  4. This happens when they're overcharged. I also don't consider two days as a long period of time.
  5. Having them fully charged is not a problem. It would be a problem to leave them completely flat since most battery protection circuits draw current even when the battery is flat. Usually about 5-10nA Just leave them like this, it will probably not do any harm to them
  6. It's basically just a PCB with some memory on it. SSD's are really light. There are no moving parts or any reinforcements on the case to stop shrapnel if the disk that's moving at 5400+ RPM decides to shatter...
  7. Savage. Total Savage. Anyway, I would rate it at $350-$450.
  8. Umm, I don't think you got 32GB of RAM. The i7 only supports 24GB
  9. The 8-bit-guy (iBookGuy) has done a great video on this:
  10. Nope. Your board is FM2(+), you will need AM3+. I'd wait for Zen to come around or buy an intel CPU. They're better in terms of bang for the buck than AMD's current lineup.
  11. It will be f***** hard to find any adaptor, right?
  12. It's from a Toshiba Tecra 730CDT from 1996. Yes, classic Pentium 150 vintage. This is the connector from the hard drive caddy (which is missing). I need to either get a new caddy for this thing (almost impossible) or know which type of connector it is. It looks very much like SCSI, doesn't it? But I don't think it's gonna be this easy. It's most likely some proprietary connector. If you know a laptop where this connector was also used, please tell me.
  13. Just ask the staff there They usually keep all laptops and sell them for next to nothing.
  14. I actually do. They're great value and, even if you can't fix them, there's nearly nothing to be lost. That's why I go to my local dumpster a couple of times a week. I get PC's or laptops that are worth repairing, I bring them home and I repair them. I just made a real score. I got a fully functioning laptop with an i5-3210m for 5 EUR. I brought it home thinking that this thing will never turn on. I plug it in and it boots. And THAT's why you should always go to your local dumpster. There's a screenshot for ya if you don't believe me.
