HyperX quadcast stopped working between yesterday and today.

Hello.

I've been using my HyperX Quadcast for about 5 years now, I have it plugged into my PCs USB 3.2 port on the back of the motherboard. I was recording some stuff with it last night.

Today I turned my PC on. Got all setup to record and noticed the mic wasn't lit up, I assumed I muted it by accident. I tap it. Nothing. I unplug the cord on my mic end and plug it back in. Nothing. Not even a USB connected sound.

I tried different USB plugs, cables, even confirmed the cable and USB plug was good using another device.

Is it gone or am I missing something?

I did see unrecognized USB device pop up twice amongst like 30 reboots and plugging it back in

Repairing 5 broken ZIF connectors?

I don't know the story. A friend messaged me asking to take a look at this 3ds, I do basic repairs. They knew I just reshelled a 3ds XL. They told me they thought they broke the circle pad connector.

I got it today. 4 of the black pressure ZIF connectors are popped and broken. I did get enough pressure to make sure it turns on. But aside from those the circle pad tab is gone gone.

I haven't heard back from them about what they want me to do, but just getting a feeler on this. And importantly, where can I send this for repair if they want me to send it out on their behalf?

Now, I do solder and stuff, but I am no means an expert. Mostly game save batteries, speakers, and power switches to clean out. Most advanced I have does is inside gadgets internal wireless mod for the OG DS. Something this small is just way too advanced for me, a hobbyist.

Subtitles won't turn off even with watching a Dub.

I've been watching JJK while multitasking and playing pokemon. I always watch dub so if I look away I can still hear what's going on and understand it.

Today I noticed while watching season 2 the subtitles are on, not CC, i click the settings on the player and disable them. Very next episode they're back, or if I refresh the page, go to the home page and click back into it they still show up. I checked settings and automatic is disabled.

It's been about 4 episodes now and I'm getting annoyed that I have to disable them every time. I will note this is on my PC. I haven't used the mobile app in a couple months. They don't even match what's being said in the dub either, slight wording differences or even words missing out right

USB device disconnect sound keeps playing on windows 11. Between every 3 seconds to every 20 minutes.

I recently had to remove one of my USB hubs because I was overloading the USBs and it kept cutting out. Found a layout of my USBs that works and none cut out. But the sound effect of unplugging USB keeps playing nonstop.

I've checked event viewer and device manager but the constant refreshing makes it hard to figure out what's disconnecting.

I have plugged into my PC keyboard and mouse dongles, microphone, webcam, and 6 Nintendo DS capture cards (for shiny hunting pokemon). The DS capture cards can only handle 2 per USB port section so I have 2 on a USB card, 2 directly plugged into the main USBs on my b550 tomahawk. 1 plugged into the top USBs with my webcam. And the 6rh is plugged into the front of my case.

I don't see my camera, mic or any of the DS disconnecting. And as far as I can tell my mouse and keyboard aren't either.

It's been about a week and it's driving me crazy since it's nonstop for 1-5 minutes or spread out. Any ideas what may be happening?

4 days of owning it, I have one issue that seems common. How do I get my speakers to be equal volume?

I absolutely love it so far, I had a steamdeck for a couple years but had to sell it around the holidays to pay an unexpected medical bill.

I got this in a trade a few days back, and been playing a lot of Lego Star wars and Stardew valley. Today I booted up Persona 3 Reload, the older versions are my favorite RPG.game. And I noticed the left speaker is quieter, almost to the point it sounds like all the sound is from the right side. I looked it up and this seems to be a common issue, yet I haven't had any luck fixing this.

I did install SteamOS on it if that helps.

ROG Ally, how do I fix this? Trying to play Persona 3 Reload away from home.

I got this ROG yesterday in a trade I did. I immediately got a SteamOS boot drive made and switched over. I had a steamdeck but had to sell it to pay a bill last year.

The other 3 games I've installed so far work just fine offline. But P3R loads this screen and nothing else. I remember having issues on Steam Deck when I had it at first with this game, but cannot remember what I did to fix it.

I am in a loop trying to enable secure boot on ROG Ally.

Hello

Long story short I got an ROG in a trade today, having to replace my steam deck I had to unfortunately sell earlier this year.

Friend who has one immediately said to replace windows with Bazzite. Only Linux I've ever used was Steam OS which was just the game side. I install it as the guide says. But I missed one thing, entering the password universalblie on the blue screen.

I follow the Secure Boot guide, method B because of my mess up, I enter the enroll secure boot key and password and reboot.

And on the blue screen I accidentally hit boot.

Now I cannot get back to that screen. I reenter the enroll script and it says it already is. When I reboot no blue screen and I still need to enter a password to boot. I obviously don't want to carry a keyboard with me to play this thing. So what do I do to fix this mess up?

Sapphire oak challenge done! 3 years, 8 shinies, 193 hours, plus a living dex

Treecko phase 1

Whismur (fainted after I gaslit myself into thinking it wasn't shiny)

Nincada (2 for 1!)

Wurmple (beautifly)

Lotad

Roselia

Swablu

Kyogre

[4] First time playing pearl, had to make it a special one.

I had diamond and platinum as a kid, chose chimchar and Turtwig respectively. Finishing up my first Oak Challenge and wanted to do Pearl as my next one. A quick backup and restoring to an English game and I'm set! Time to experience pearl in the slowest grind out there.

If my battery dies partway into the game, will rng work the same as starting with a dry battery?

I'm deep into my sapphire oak challenge and my battery has died. I was planning to hunt Kyogre, but with the battery dead I now wish to rng manip it.

​

I've done emerald rng manipulation before. But will sapphire (and Ruby) work the exact same way if the battery dies partway in? Or is the RNG only predictable of being created with it already dry?

​

I know my wording is bad. Essentially I'm worried since it died partway in, it may be stuck on a random rng at the point where it died. Or does it default to a static seed that matches the TID and SID, like how emerald RNG works

It's been a long time coming. Buti finally got to Kyogre, but it's not pink yet.

3 years ago I hunted that Treecko on a whim. Didn't know what to do with the file until I saw some YouTube videos. Got very caught up shiny hunting, several phases are on this save (never traded them off for obvious reasons), but I planned to hunt Kyogre from the moment I started the oak challenge. It's finally time to see that fish shine

Best way to clean out the power power switch?

Basically as title says. Between 2012-19 I was a large collector, downsized when I moved. Still own probably 30 or so Gameboys.

​

But I have a select few that I love dearly that have issues.

​

My Pokemon Gameboy light, pikachu and Swiss SPs, and my childhood micro all have dirty power switches, causing the lights backlight to flicker/not turn on. And the rechargeables to constantly switch back to "low battery* even when fully charged or even plugged on.

​

I've taken a queue tip with IPA to all 4, but while it helps temporarily in the end they all have the dirty switch in the end. What's the best way to ensure I clean them out? Getting really tired of being tethered to my wall while playing my childhood micro to avoid to shutting off randomly

Instagram is destroying my photos. I turned on upload at highest quality. What do I do?

First image is straight from my camera roll. Second image is from IG. Both story and posts compress it into illegible garbage. I stopped posting because my photos look like garbage when posted.

Moisture or pressure marks on card?

I received this card today as a gift from a friend. And I've never seen a slab do this. Is that moisture or pressure from the slab touching the card? What should I do to lessen it?

The center button pad keeps shifting down within a week. So I never have to do this again, will sticking it to the button itself work?

For the record. I've been sticking it back to the middle of the tactile switch, this time I was thinking of sticking it to the button hoping the nub will keep it in place.

If not. Best solution?
