imac 2015. the admin account, icloud password is forgotton. the stanard account is accessible, but removed it though it can help. Is there a way to remove the admin account, because its old and want to sell.

what is the difference? which is superior? 

i see that RS cost less? 

original pro cost more

Can someone list them in order of price, and rgb performance

I read that colorful LHR has l or r at the end of the part number, but I can't find the link now. 

In the picture idk which is the part number. Can someone tell if this is LHR?

what info can you get from sku code？

Solved it's forsa , I can see f o but not r s a. Then i asked you guys.

Might be an obvious suggestion, but have you tried looking up some teardown videos/guides on the Corsair K95 and finding a resolution for if you can take apart the keyboard? Might give you a definite answer on whether you're able to access the culprit switch for re-soldering.

yes hayoung

The w key went faulty during gaming, i just think the cherry mx died, thats the first thing comes to mind. I have not opened it yet....

my corsiar k95 has 1 faulty key, out of warranty

the W sometimes dont register. is it possible for me for soldering a new cherry switch on it? 

No visible screws at the back, it seems they are under the rubber feet.

Backstory - can skip - I have a down draft cooler on my i5 4460 and b85. 1/3 of the cpu fan broke off but was still spinning most of the time, however, the uneven spin wobbles the whole motherboard. Sometime the fan would not spin, i figured it was ok for the time being. if its gets too hot, it should shut itself down. 

This went on for a few days. Then the mobo would boot up, but no display signal, internal +external. I have another pc to test everything, except the cpu, mobo and ram.

how to determine if cpu or mobo is broken???

Im using ax370 gaming k7 gigabyte, with ryzen 1400. Im stuck on bios F31. the EC FW update just crashed my PC, is it supposed to work? I need bios F40 for 3rd gen? can I ever use 3000 series on my motherboard?

I havent tried 2nd gen yet, im currently looking for deals.

Is this ebay?  If functional...Im not sure why you haven't already bought them under buyers protection lol at this price!  Great find if so!

 

The real answer - yes'ish.  Depending on how thin the fins are will depend on if you can light sandblast.  The only real problem I can see is that if the water was bad enough to corrode the heat sink area that covers the GPU becomes pitted etc you will need some hefty thermal pads to bridge the gap.

 

Me, Im lazy, Id dunk them in CLR for an hour and call it a day, because if it is indeed oxidization, that will clean it up clear as a whistle.  I think you could even cheap out and use coca cola.

 

Or a crumbled up piece of aluminum foil dipped in coca cola and scrub the area...great results.

 

That's a few of the things I would try.

what is the active ingredient that cleans metal oxidization? coca cola acid does the same job?

If you are buying a known not working GPU and are looking to get them back in working order then take the risk if the pay in, is worth the potential pay out.

 

That's water damage, and Im not sure about that white stuff - oxidization is usually uniform and not "thick" in spots like that.

the prices i listed are for functional cards. Im more concerned if the heatsink can be made normal again.

i have seen white spots on gpu heatsink that are sold cheaply. They are oxidized aluminium ? Are mining cards prone to this damage, and what other visible wear? all cpu heatsink are made of alu ?

Can they be cleaned and recovered?

ie. rx570 under $20usd 

gtx1060 6gb under $90

gtx 1070 (pictures, showing the worst parts) under $170

assume all with 1 year warranty left

Coca-cola

Burn in from being on the same background for too long?

Time for a new monitor?

This is just a cheap used monitor 20’’ i picked up for $12usd.

I have 3 4K monitors but I don’t have enough knowledge and experience....

Would you know what these dark diagonal lines are?

Also there seems to be diagonal lines across the screen.

Looks like something ate through the matte coating.

What can eat the coating?

Kinda looks like there is a matte layer on there that is damaged. Are the "stains" much more glossy?

It is glossy.

After wiping it with a dam cloth, this is what u see. As if some protective cover is stripped? I also have this on the top metal panel of my evolve ATX TG case. The case was used only a few months, but this monitor is much much older.

Logitech K480 wireless keyboard suddenly went malufuntioned today. i dropped it long time ago, but not recently

Many keys and linked to other keys. 

i.e. pressing d = dkp。o=o[,  p=dkp 9 = n9 2= 2 (space) e= ew   etc...

I use it with my ipads, I used different set of batteries

Do you know what the make of the stand is? That will most likely have the weight limits on it, or at least on a spec sheet somewhere. 

 

However, bearing in mind that the glass is only 5mm thick, I would say that it won't be able to hold it safely. 

 

Edit: Never mind. I've just put the rough size of the glass into a tempered glass weight calculator and it recommends that 2kg is the maximum amount that it can handle. 

i have varois small stuff on it before, i think they added up to 2kg

i have this ikea vittsjo laptop stand with tempered glass on top, its rated at 15kg

2kg just seems to weak, a very slight midhandling would break the glass? it would be on the PC new.... 

where you get that number?

I want to put a Monitor with a flat wide stand on top of my View 71 Tempered glass. It weights about 5.5kg. I cant find any info on how much weight those 5mm glass can take. The glass is supported by 4 screw points. Are all tempered glass equal? Does anyone know?

Is this right?

• CrystalDisk reported the drive had reallocated sectors
• You smartly backed up all the data to a healthy drive and unplugged the bad drive
• Now you want to use the drive again but when you plug it in Windows says the drive is unallocated

First it is indeed possible for an unhealthy drive to come up as unallocated, simply rebooting could have been enough to knock out or expose damage to a critical sector containing some of the formatting information that Windows needs to know how the drive is arranged which results in it being reported as unallocated.

 

Second is that it's my rule of thumb that if a modern harddrive is reporting reallocated sectors (meaning sectors on the disk have physically stopped working and the drive controller was forced to utilize one of the small number of backup sectors at the end of the drive) then you should discontinue use of that drive as soon as you've backed up any files you want.

 

Thanks to the reliability of today's harddrives I've found that more than one reallocated sector is almost a sure sign that there is a persistent problem with the read head or other component which means that more sectors will continue to fail/be damaged if you keep using the drive which means you will lose more and more data until the drive becomes unreadable (which it sounds like it has or nearly has happened already).

Im just not sure whether i did format it myself or not. If i didnt format it, i want to see what was on it. I left it in the corner for some time so i dont remember.

I have this not so healthy HDD, reallocated sector count cation status(crystal disk info), i left it in the corner some time ago. Now it shows up as reallocated (not formatted) in windows disk management. I knew there were problems with this hdd, so I moved the data to another healthy offline backup hdd, the healthy disk had the data I want. 

However there was no reason to format the disk (in case the healthy backup fails), Im not sure if i really format it before or not. Is it possible that an unhealthy disk can become reallocated itself?

I  think you would be able to sync your photos to google drive (or other service) and then have your nas sync to that.

im going to china, last time google stuff didnt work.

also isnt google drive limits storage? how would that be enough?
