Got this dimension saved from a Recycling Tip in the UK, sadly while it survived being thrown around by the Dump Staff, the finishing blow was DPD mailing it to me, the back quadrant is damaged but not completely destroyed,
Unfortunately the fan mounting bracket has been completely destroyed, and no longer mounts to the case and might not even be fixable, is there any way around this?
I am unsure what to do, I bought this laptop from eBay for my computer collection however as I usually like things delivered to pickup points to up the excitement, this is the first one which has had problems, I am unsure what to do as I'd like to obtain the device...
Any suggestions?
Super proud of the Outcome
I built a retro PC using parts I had laying around, while everything does fire up, the poor motherboard does not seem to POST,
It has done in the past (image 3) but since storing it it has died, any suggestions?
One of my buds went missing, I suspected it was in my bed somewhere, unfortunately it showed up later in pieces in the washing machine, I have no idea how the battery connects up, still makes the case react when connected to the case but I doubt it's repairable,
I've seen replacement bits on eBay, including buds, I've had a good track record with replacement bits, having replaced the charging case a couple of months prior.
Is it worth buying a new bud?, I do not want an entire new set of earbuds (unnecessary E-waste),
I do NOT have replacement Bud cover.
Ever since the World Cup Match involving England and Argentina my Nothing Phone 3 has been struggling with it's mobile Data signal, on occasion it will go dead with "Emergency Calls Only", sometimes it will show full bars and a little exclamation point on the symbol, and sometimes it shows up full bars yet nothing works,
Cannot access the Web, Make calls of Receive them and cannot text or receive either.
My SIM is provided by EE, and I have just had it replaced today, unfortunately when I was shopping it went into its "Emergency Calls Only" state again. Unsure how to proceed.
I hear repairs on this model are impossible with no spare parts available, should I cut my losses and buy a new phone?
Nothing diagnostics can't seem to find an installed SIM.
Shot on Nothing Phone (3) near the Army and Navy Roundabout, 2 friends reckon they heard the blast, I did not as I was on a bus leaving Colchester at the time.
The Left side repair held up amazingly well but I think due to the missing standoffs on the right side it ended up just cracking off, unfortunately I've smeared so much JBWeld it's difficult to see if I can even come back from this, Advice?
The second image is an old DELL I own with the same type of connection but unfortunately the interposer is not cross compatible dispute the fact they look identical even the drive caddy is identical,
Would the Interposer have a part number or specific shape somebody here could identify?
Allways wanted an Area 51 M15X R1 and I finally have one!, the hinges were broken but I am currently fixing that, the unit POSTs (thank god) but I am missing the hard drive caddy and SATA interposer, my bezel is also broken but I will worry about that later,
I'd love to know what sata connector Pre-Dell Alienwares used, I have tried using an adapter from an Inspiron 1720 but it did not fit,
I'm currently fixing my latest acquisition (holy grail), and I initially used superglue to secure the Brass inserts while I filled the cavity with Epoxy, unfortunately I've discovered the holes aren't fully letting the screws screw in, I believe It's the superglue that has seeped into the holes, I'm going to let the epoxy cure and is there a way I can dissolve the Superglue afterwards?, like IPA or a tiny drill bit?.
What do you think?, £500 well spent?, I'm told it can even play Playstation 1 Titles, meaning I can take on the classics on the go!, great for reading too!
Complete with the Bag, Charger, and a Modem, no HDD
Some epic things.
Did I do Good?,
Current shelf layout, I need to empty out soon as I'm moving bedrooms, but half of this stuff is my muse.
