Anyone else finding Skullpanda pieces outside of official drops?

I’ve been collecting Skullpanda for a bit now, mostly sticking to official drops, but lately I’ve also been exploring secondhand options. I’ve seen some interesting listings through trades, resellers, and even a few live auctions on whatnot.

What surprised me is how often older series, opened boxes, or dupes pop up when people are downsizing collections. It feels more relaxed than fighting drop times, and sometimes you get to hear why someone is letting a piece go.

Not trying to buy or sell here, just curious. Are most of you sticking strictly to drops, or are you also picking up Skullpanda through secondhand or live platforms?

Anyone else experiencing a swollen/bulging battery on their Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 (NP960QFG)?

Hey everyone,

​I’ve had my Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 (Model: NP960QFG) for about 2 years now, and I just noticed the chassis is warping/lifting. Lo and behold, the battery inside is starting to swell.

​I’ve attached some photos so you can see what it looks like.

​I know battery degradation happens over time, but a bulge this severe at the 2-year mark feels a bit premature for a premium machine. It has mostly just been sitting on my desk on a normal charging cycle—never dropped or abused.

​Has anyone else with a Book3 Pro 360 run into battery swelling issues around the 2-year mark? If you did, did Samsung offer any support out of warranty, or did you have to bite the bullet and replace it yourself? ​Appreciate any insights

Galaxy book color problems

I have a Galaxy Book Edge 4 with the snapdragon X1E80 OLED and can't seem to solve this coloring issue. Whenever I am watching a video, the computer applies this weird color correction filter on the video. It is most noticeable when scrolling when playing the video because this causes the filter to be removed for a split second, revealing the original colors.

Does anyone have this same issue? How can I fix it? I tried switching color profiles, HDR settings, and no matter what I do, I can't seem to turn off this color enchancement filter.

repair cost for Galaxy Book 2 360 - Intermittent Hardware Issues (Keyboard, Touchpad, Audio)

I'm experiencing intermittent hardware issues with my Galaxy Book 2 360. Roughly half the time, the keyboard, touchpad, microphone, and speakers stop working. I've ruled out software problems by trying multiple system restore points and performing a full factory reset, but the issues persist.

It appears I might have a failing motherboard or daughterboard. I've seen that component replacement could potentially fix this.

My questions are:

  • What's the likely cost of replacing a daughterboard or motherboard on a Galaxy Book 2 360?
  • Is it worthwhile sending it to Samsung or a service like Geek Squad for diagnosis and potential repair?
  • Has anyone else experienced similar issues with their Galaxy Book 2 360, and what was the resolution?

Samsung Galaxy Book 6 Pro 16 Intel X7 358H /32gb/1Tb - Battery Life and overall experience

I'm planning to buy the Galaxy Book 6 Pro 16 with the X7 chip. How's the battery life with everyday use - Office, Emails, youtube, Multiple tabs open in Edge/Brave browser etc.?
Im using the Asus Zenbook S14 Oled with the Lunar Lake chip now and I get roughly about 6 hours of usage give or take with the balanced mode - Brightness at 40% and variable refresh rate. I was planning to buy the Ultra with the Nvidia GPU but it doesn't have a MUX switch option and have heard that the battery back up is not that great.

Galaxy Book 6 - Screen issues fixed?

Hey everyone! I’ve been really looking forward to buying a Galaxy Book 6, but I’m a bit hesitant because I’ve never owned a Galaxy Book before.

I’ve seen some posts about previous models having issues with screens cracking on their own... For anyone who has used a Galaxy Book, especially newer models, how has your experience been?

Have Samsung improved the durability, or is this still something I should be concerned about? I’d really appreciate hearing your honest experiences ^^

Galaxy book 3 360 - fan screaming and memory at 90%

Hi all,

As my title shows, my GalaxyBook 3 360, which is about 2 and a half years old, is roaring hot with the fan going at full speed all the time from when its turned on and I cant see any softwares using more than 300 mb and yet the memory is at 90%, anyone know what to try? Im thinking of wiping it clean, its impossible to almost use from how loud it is. Worried I picked something up, or my laptop is just dying after barely even 3 years of use, im still paying it off. I have bought air cleaners for dust but thats not it either.

Connection Issues with Galaxy Book 6 Ultra

I’m struggling with a persistent connection issue between my Galaxy Buds 4 Pro and Galaxy Book 6 Ultra. The behavior is erratic and makes the buds unusable on this laptop.

The Primary Issue:

Connection Loop: The Buds constantly disconnect and reconnect. In the Windows Bluetooth menu, the status rapidly cycles between "Connected," then showing the "L" and "R" buds as separate devices, and then disconnecting entirely.

Invisible Audio Device: Even when the status says "Connected," the Buds do not appear as an option in the Windows Sound Output settings. Windows recognizes the Bluetooth link but fails to recognize them as an audio playback device.

Partial Pairing: After unpairing and performing a factory reset (case-sync method), the issue either persists or only the Right earbud will connect while the Left remains invisible.

The Gaming Impact:

Whenever I manage to get a stable connection with sound, launching or playing a game causes massive, constant lag spikes and frame stuttering. It feels like the system is struggling to maintain the Bluetooth stack while the game is running, or the "plug-and-play" service is refreshing in the background every time the buds flicker.

What I’ve Already Tried:

Multiple "Forget Device" and re-pairing attempts.

Factory resetting the buds inside the case (holding touchpads).

Disabling "Auto Switch" in the Galaxy wearable ecosystem.

Is this a known driver conflict between the new Galaxy Book 6 series and the Buds 4 Pro, or is there a specific Windows service I should be looking at?
Please reach out if you have a fix. I used ai to help me write a lot of this sorry if its hard to read.

New galaxy book 5 360

I was lucky enough to buy a Galaxy Book 5 360 at a totally ridiculous price.

A little disappointed with the storage capacity which is actually 200gb but which is enough for my use (Office automation audio editing)

Do you have any applications to recommend to me for optimization or to embellish the UI

I've already remapped the copilot key to make it a Gemini shortcut

Book3 Ultra Fans Starting To Run Loud Solutions Thread

Curious about the various strategies folks have used to address loud fan noise on ideally Galaxy Book3 Ultras, but any of the recent Ultras. Would love to have a thread of solutions.

First, my version of the issue: My Book3 Ultra is a couple years old. Over the past month my fans have started going on overdrive just turning on the laptop (no new software installed, no new programs included as startup apps). When it happens, my open programs are typically just Vivaldi (browser) and LibreOffice. My memory usage will be in the 40-45% range. CPU less than 10%. Randomly, the fan noises happen more at my workplace than at home.

Solution I'm currently trying is: https://youtu.be/YbdR7pzr2jo?si=WOb6YoeMuJcpFsBb

What solution are you using? Let's collect them all.
