this is super comforting :) .. I will just stick with my electrical-tape mended usb cable then :) .. again paperdoc thank you so much :)

Paperdoc thanks so much for your quick reply you and Lutfij are awesome :) ... like Lutfij said I really should have provided a picture of the damage in question instead of panicking and immediately wrapping electrical tape around the damaged area. I'm hoping that it really is just white...

Thank you for your quick reply I appreciate it :) .. of course since I am an idiot I panicked and promptly wrapped the damaged parts up in electrical tape then afterwards thought to myself " You know it would have really helped to take a picture of it beforehand." So yes I would be the first...

Hi guys me again with another dumb question, my apologies in advance and particularly if I've posted this in the wrong part of the forums (I wasn't sure where questions on usb 2.0 cables would go). So I have an ancient usb 2.0 cable that came with my equally ancient (has to be at least 10 years...

Also found a video of a soul much braver than me who goes over how to replace the battery in the same kind of laptop I have View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LDb4gmQQV8 Much to my dismay when looking at the video, it looks like the battery rests right underneath the part where I found...

Again thank you so much Callie :) ... I'm just too cowardly to do it :( .. I know in theory I could unscrew the screws on the bottom cover of the laptop and take it off .. but the laptop is so old it actually has a CD reader in it .. not that this matters too much in that in this day and...

Thank you so much for your reply Cellie :) .. man that would be fantastic if it was just sticky cosating starting to melt (long as it's not dangerous to go on using the laptop and just annoying sticky ) I'm guessing that means I can go on safely using the laptop if that's the case :) .. No...

Thank you for your quick reply :) .. my apologies I should have mentioned it's not a touch screen type laptop..

thank you both for your quick replies :) .. hopefully it's not fluid leaking from the battery ! To determine if it's battery fluid leakage would getting the bottom off the laptop to expose the "guts" inside and examining the battery help as far as figuring it out?

This is kind of a strange question.. so I have a seven year old acer laptop (Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-57D4 ) .. I found a clear fluid on the laptop screen after not using it for about a week which I thought was just water then I noticed a sticky residue on the bottom/keyboard part of the laptop...

Just thought I'd post an update on this .. someone asked me a question about how this drive was working out which made me realize geez I've been using this drive for about a year now! It's working out great , I use it constantly for file storage and use of said files with no problems. A...

thanks for your replies guys :) .. darn I was hoping I wouldn't need to do a fresh install of Win 11 and that the in place install would work :( but I had a feeling in the back of my mind that it might be necessary .. do you guys think I should wait, plug in the new sticks of corsair ram when...

oh my gosh.. further update, while running sfc /verifyonly gives a "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations" result after the in place Windows 11 upgrade (reinstall windows 11), running "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth" is STILL showing a "the component store...

This is kind of related to my thread here https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/power-supply-necessary-to-bring-ram-to-3200-speeds.3798903/#post-22946469 But my hardware setup on my daughter's computer has changed since then and is now - G.Skill RipJaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin...
