Need_Not

Someone on discord showed me this ebay listing. what do you guys think? I have a desktop already so I will only be using this for when I'm not on my desktop and just wanna code or do some basic designing.

I dont love apple but im not against it since for a while ive been unable to make ios apps for the lack of a mac.

Happy ending, fully unplugged the battery with all connectors then installed it back, new ram and ssd are installed and everything works!

Hmm, now that is weird, maybe the battery connector got loose before? It's hard to advise anything without seeing the actual thing. If the battery connector is not loose, then maybe it was just out of juice.

Since it is turned on now, it means that it is not shorted. Then I'd shut down the laptop and try to plug the battery again. Make sure that the battery connector is clean and you don't have sweaty hands while plugging it.

I plugged the battery in and it works

So I'm not sure what happened

Each laptop model, not only brand, has different ways of connecting the battery to the motherboard, at least from experience. So just unplug any cable that is connected to the chassis and the battery before doing anything.

But since you did not do any of that, I'd advise you to go to a service center and ask them to take a look, you need special tools to see if the motherboard is truly shorted.

Did anything light up when when you first press the power button? If so, and then it immediately shut down, probably shorted something. 

 

Battery is fully unplugged and the laptop now works and turns on. So just a battery issue? What now

I didn't see anything that I know of. No fans for sure if it did try to turn on it was a light on the side but I didn't see. Now like I said it's completely cold

I assume you have a rather old laptop since you have to install an ssd to it.

Did you reconnect the battery to the motherboard? Or did you reconnect every cable to the motherboard? Try to plug the laptop to the charger and see if it is starts. 

If you did not disconnect the battery, I heard that it is quite common for laptops being shorted due to disassembly without disconnecting the battery and flushing the remaining charge. I learnt this from a service center.

Oh no I didn't know about that last bit.

I haven't unplugged anything. What would you recommend I do? Unplug the 3 cables connecting the battery?

I added an m.2 to a laptop and now it doesn't turn on or even show a light when plugged in. I cannot think of why this could happen as I did not even touch anything other than than the ssd.

I uninstalled the ssd still no luck

Update: solved. After I took the case off and saw the bridge broke off the socket I held the bridge down as I put the switch in the bridge wasn't able to go up like it normally would forcing it to stay still making contact

Depends on your time and energy. I'd just say F it and be without an f5 key. I use the click to refresh for browsers anyhow like an old man.

I'd rather have f5 tho. I got it open and the top socket isn't connected to the bridge thing. Ik a simple solder is all it needs but I can't or don't have the tools to solder that small. Is there anyway to like tape it down so it is forced to make contact?

I finally built a keyboard since no matter what pre built i get it stops being usable after 2 years and with custom I can switch out any of the parts if needed however my f5 key was unresponsive and I notice when installing the switch it is a lot easier I then saw that the sockets are slightly lower I got a small metal right angle thing and put it through the main hole and sure enough the entire thing is loose. 

I have 3 options, maybe send it back if it's their fault but that would leave me almost a month without a keyboard and a lot of work, open the back up and fix it with tape or solder depends but I don't really care if it works it works.

Or not have an f5 key

my biggest problem is I cannot figure out how to get the kase open I don't want to break it but I think once you take the 4 screws out you push on like the white thing on the inside and it pops off? But I feel like I could easily break the top cover doing that.

Can't really help you further. I've only used it once, but it did successfully restore word file from corrupted USB stick.

turns out the folder became hidden (with all files visible) and permission to access it is denied but i can access the folders inside that folder so i could in the end access the lost videos! thank you!

PHOTO-REC.

looks promising but the problem is i cannot find the folder the files are saved in even when i set the folder to save in it just vanishes

I've had decent success with Recuva.

free or premium because it seemed to only detect 2 files

I went out and recorded some cool videos on 2 gopros and while i was watching the 360 footage and editing it i told my brother to filter the hero 5 footage and then he deleted all the good videos I dont know why but i haven't used the sd card since so it hasn't been written but every program ive tried either cannot find the video (free search) or a deep search which does find it but wants to charge me like $70 to recover it. and there isn't even a way to tell if the videos actually work so im not gonna pay for it neither is the video worth $70 to me

Are you looking for low profile switches or a low profile case? The Ctrl you mentioned has normal profile switches and a low profile case

in that case low case i like ful size switches but at this point idk maybe im asking too much and ill have to go with a normal case but i just love the look of the ctrl

What do you think about this? It is TKL, low profile and available with RGB. It's also $89 (USD), so way below your $200 goal.

idk the keys are super thin maybe i'll go for a high profile after all but still cannot find many good choices

first my razor in mid 2020 now my apex 7 tkl are becoming unresponsive. I want a board that wont break on me.

the ctrl look PERFECT but apparently it's overpriced. then i saw the Everest core but i dont like a lot of things about it.

i want one that is low profile so i dont get tons of build up in the deck. I dont know if i should go with a "gaming" keyboard which would be like the razors and corsairs or the lesser known ones that the mech keyboard community loves but i find it hard to like any of those that are under $200

I don't know, ask your seller about the process. 

ok will do just where do i buy a gpu that is in stock

On 4/30/2022 at 1:56 AM, SamClan said:

ask them, say hey I have a problem I want to send it back don't know if you can reproduce but see that picture that happens. 

 

 

have to ask them. 

 

the point is are they going to check if there is something wrong with it? or are they like Amazon garbage bin. 

 

if something is wrong with it they send it back. and you get a replacement. 

 

and for testing for 2 weeks before sending the new one back. you dont need a top of the line gpu 

 

 

wait so if it's RMA they will send me a new gpu not just money back? but are 2080s even still made how will that work. and they wont keep the broken gpu?!

2 hours ago, SamClan said:

well you could try send it back and you will see what happens, in the mean time you could buy a spare GPU and sent it back before the 2 week mark is over (amazon) 

 

and while you have that new gpu and your "Old" is in warranty you will see if the new one has the same problem. 

 

how much would it cost to ship this and what if they can't find anything wrong with it.
or if they can't find anything wrong with it but there is something wrong with it.
and how do i buy another gpu!? they cost wayyyy more than they are worth

i dont have another pc to test it on tho

i would also like to mention that i do remember my pc a having screen tear for like 1 frame and not even when i was changing the picture but this was over a month ago and happened 2 or 3 times

Just now, SamClan said:

recommended at the MSI page are 650 Watt

might still be ok

I woiuld normally run it for like 20 min. 

 

this one is the best option you have to figure out if it is your GPU 

i dont have another pc to test it on tho

11 minutes ago, SamClan said:

for how long did you let it run? 

 

 

that is not good

could you please post your speccs? 

 

 

 

it ran for the 30s i think it is when you click it i didnt stop it 

my specs are on my profile but when i was building the pc i was told 550 would be fine so thats why im getting this. and my battery backup is only 550 and that is what is beeping 

20 minutes ago, SamClan said:

nope it just stress tests it. it is like you running a super heavy GPU bound game. 

i did the 1080 preset and didn't get beeping and it didn't glitch

ah i ran it and within 2 seconds my psu beeped because of too much power take
