Hi, I have customer, who REALLY loves his old macbook and doesn't want anything else. But he wants to upgrade this old beast to 16GB RAM. So I orderd 2x8 1600 MHz pack, that should be supported (and is specifically sold as Mac memory). But when I put it in, macbook only beeps once every 5...

Laptop does not work on battery, so I can't discharge it.

Hi there! I have this Asus FX504 laptop, it had a shorted capacitor on CPU voltage rail - causing it to not turn on for a few weeks. Now after I removed the shorted cap, the laptop boots and works fine, but doesn't charge or run on battery at all. I plug in the charger, orange charging light...

They are not your standart 5k4 HDD, they are enterpise drives with 5 year warranty. https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Enterprise-Capacity-7200RPM-ST4000NM0025/dp/B01CG0DCPQ/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=ST4000NM0025&qid=1579466624&sr=8-2 I'm not sure what those "renewed" dics are, but I can't buy them here...

Hi, I bought cheap discs -Seagate Exos 7E8 4TB (new $85/piece), but they have SAS interface. Is there any (cheap) way to connect them in my standart PC? Without $400 controler... I've found some cables on eBay, but I'm not sure if they would work Thanks

Hi, I have HP 4540s. It was broken - not powering up. There were blown two input MOS-FETs (PU4001 and PU4002). A friend of mine has charged my battery and laptop worked. So I replaced these fets and now it works on adaptor, but when I plug in battery, it starts using it instead of charging...

That's the problem, to remove heatsink you only need to remove bottom cover, so he did not touch anything. He also went to some repair centre, but they were asking price of new MB for repairing this one (without warranty..) Besides I tried removing the whole MB from it and boot just with RAM and...

Hi, my friend has Lenovo Y700 and after he replaced thermal paste it will not boot. He knows about ESD, so he was careful. When power button is pressed, LED lights on and after 3 second computer reboots. LCD does not turn on. Of course I tried removing CMOS battery, unplugging everything...

It may be a little late, but what I found are blown mos-fets named PU-4001 and PU-4002. They are located right next to power jack connector, but you have to disassemble whole laptop to get them.

Hello, I have bought this laptop, but it had password protected BIOS. When I tried get to the BIOS it wanted password. So I have shorted CMOS battery pin. Now I can get there, but it is still locked by Admin lock. I tried dell website, but it basicaly says: it's after warranty, so f**k you...

No, you can not

I'm playing some games on my Dell E7440 with IPS and I haven't noticed slower response time. (But I don't want to take it to my friends, because we usually drink a little and I'm afraid of spilling something into my work machine) In original post and title I said I want IPS screen, reasons are...

Yes I know IPS is more than 1ms slower (OMG how can anybody live with that?) but that T40 has some problems with refreshing or something so it sometimes has "ghost" pictures. Lenovo laptops are usually overpriced here and people got it with TN screens. I need IPS for viewing angles, because...

Hello, I want the cheapest laptop from Ebay or so.. with IPS screen, so me and my friends could play Playstation games on it (with ePSxe emulator) Recommended hardware for it is: Fast dual-core CPU 512 MB of RAM OpenGL 2.0 + GLSL shaders video card Fast CD-ROM Windows Vista+ DirectX 8...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory For internet should be 4GB enough, 8GB is better. But you don't have to worry, RAM is one of few parts in notebooks, which you can upgrade (very cheap: 4GB cost about 20$ here)
