So I bought this mouse second hand like 3 years ago...the battery life was never great but whatever, I justed used it wired....so lately one of my side buttons hasn't been working great...I decide its time for a good cleaning, possible button replacement, and battery replacement....cleaned the button before trying to replace it and that worked fine....I bought the suggested battery from Amazon according to ifixit.com and after plugging it in the leds would just blink and the mouse would not work...after taking it back apart I realized the jpc connector was wired backwards...so swapped the leads in the connector and everything was good to go....after a day or so I realized that even in wired mode the battery wasn't charging....I finally got to sit down and put this thing through an extensive gaming session and after a few hours it would randomly quit working blink 7-10 times then work again....and now it has been doing this every 3-4 min....I swapped the battery circuit protection boards thinking razr may have some sort of proprietary reporting/charging board but the issue persists....any advice or thoughts are welcome please help!

Looking for a portable emulation kit for my pi zero w. I have rather large hands so I'm leaning towards the freeplay kit being that it has the landscape form factor but I don't like the idea of my pi and other components being so out in the open via the large gaps in the case at the top once assembled. I love the idea of a rechargeable battery which I guess I could put in either one....anyway any suggestions? Comments? Recommendations?

I'll have to look up a pin out for this power supply it seems the mobo power connector is just an 8pin power connection...and cpu is just a normal 4 pin

Thats what I was thinking but I dont wanna spend the money and that not be the issue....any way to test this?

so im trying to do a hard drive swap on this xps. I do the swap but now the computer will only power on for about 2-5 seconds then shuts off. Tried playing with the ram, unplugging all devices and sata connections. Every once in a while it will kick on and let me load into windows installation then cut off before I can get it installed. Any idea what this could be? I'm about ready to run head first into a brick wall!

Ugh...so to get anything comparable to what the ISP has sent me I have to spend over 100?

So I was looking at (and I know I'm opening myself up to scrutiny here) the older google wifi...not the google nest....I only have an 1,100 sqft home so range really isnt a huge issue for me seeing as how most routers I've looked at cover at least 1,500sqft....any thoughts on the google wifi unit? And the lack of ethernet isnt that big of a deal I do happen to have a 5 port switch just waiting to be put to use

The router is technically more than just a router...its a router, access point, and switch...if that's what you mean....but the modem is separate

No two separate units

I'd like to set up a NAS and a cloud server

Kids will be doing school work...my girl and I game togeather alot...and I work from home...mostly computer repair...so alot of windows updates and .iso file transfers

Trying to keep it under 100....I found a night hawk for 86...but it doesnt have MIMO....not sure if that's super important

Check that monitor you have in you parts list....its freesync...may not be g-sync

I had my pc plugged into an ups since the day I built it....it would screen flicker while playing games...have just super odd issues....nothing I did would fix it...i moved a couple of months ago....box with the ups got put in a different room I couldnt find it...so I plugged my pc in without the ups for the first time...every problem I encountered since I built the thing was corrected....seemed to me my ups caused more problems than it solved

This worked perfectly! Thank you!

So, I just moved into a new place a couple of months ago. ISP sends over a modem and router. I hook everything up and go to manage my router and I get this very simple screen with the ISP logo on it. I call the ISP to figure out why I can't manage my network and the lady did a horrible job of explaining anything. I'm not a network engineer or anything but I do have a degree in IT. Basically she fed me this line saying how it's a new standard of router, which doesnt allow you to manage your network, and once you have this new standard you can't go back to the old standard. She informs me the only way around this is to purchase my own router. So what I need is router that allows multiple devices to connect to it with good transfer speeds....at any given time there could be 2-3 desktops hardwired, 2 phones, streaming movies on our tv, upto 3-4 laptops all running at once...any suggestions on something that won't have the wife making me sleep on the sofa?

I have an old laptop I want to keep as original as humanly possible....it shipped with XP professional...where can I find myself an XP iso file?....I dont think this machine can boot from USB....so I'd have to make a boot CD....any suggestions?

Thanks everyone for the insight! I was able to find this on Lenovo's forums. So if anyone else was wondering yes it's possible and no there is no bios lock....at least according to this forum on Lenovo's site. lol https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-T400-T500-and-newer-T-series-Laptops/T570-add-M-2-SSD/m-p/3914022?page=1#3915200

Keep watching ...he drops a SATA M.2 in the slot I was asking about...next to the wifi card

So if SATA M.2 runs on mPCIe what standard does an NVME M.2 use...because it's not fitting in this slot

Even with the info from the video I just posted?

I really hope that's what its for

I did find this after some research and it gives me some hope that what I'm aiming for will work out...any thoughts after watching this will be appreciated https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/videos/vid100767

So would a SATA M.2 work out? I'd like to use that as a boot drive and have a bigger HDD as storage...
