Thanks a lot, Mandark. I manged to get the pin out and already ordered a new charger (y)

Hello every one, I'm having a question regarding a client's laptop. It's a Dell Inspiron 15 3878 and the problem is that the pin from the charger is stuck inside the charging port. Here's how it looks like: https://ibb.co/pjq8JYb https://ibb.co/qkcpxYm I found out that if you push the...

My full resolution that I've posted on another forum:

Still doesn't explain why would HDD start doing it on its own, when it used to NOT make these sounds (I would have noticed for sure). The way drive operates have changed without a reason. I see no other point than failing, esp. considering that I've checked everything: - switching sata...

Thank you. I verified that the drive makes the shutting down noise usually when it gets inactive, and then - when I try to access a file from it - it makes a starting sound. However, sometimes it makes these sounds without a purpose, it seems (the system is on the SSD), as if it's shutting...

OK, so the sound is most definitely coming from the HDD. I plugged my old HDD and my PC doesn't make the same sound when I shut it down. So, the sound that I associated with the PSU is from the HDD to begin with. I have a few questions now: 1. Is it starting to fail for sure? Should I check...

I have backup covered, so no problem there. Couldn't the problem be PSU related? Might I mention, I had to downclock my CPU back to stock few weeks ago (and my overclock has been stable for months) because it kept freezing. Is it not possible that components are not getting enough power with...

But it was fine before - why would it happen all of a sudden? The HDD has been working just fine (without making these noises) for a year now. On the other hand, the SSD lays loosely and unscrewed in the PC tower, because my SATA power cord is too short. But I doubt it changes anything in that case.

Thank you for responses. It's really driving me crazy now. The laptop actually had nothing to do with it. What exactly should I look for? I already turned off the "Turn off disc after" option in the power saving mode in Windows. Also, I've reset the BIOS settings - it didn't help! Why would...

Hello every one, After 4 days of installing a SSD disc, my PC (I believe it's the PSU - EDIT: it's the HDD) started making a sound as if it's powering down - even though it's still working. Oddly, usually by then the HDD would make a noise as if it's powering on. The sound is hard to explain, it...

Have you tried assigning a drive letter manually? Try going to Disk Management, see if your drive pops up and try to right click to assign a letter for the drive.

I don't recall getting any notices. No one could have had access to my account, I'm 99% sure of it. What's most important is I figured it out, I guess there is not much more to it. For the moment I had no clue what could have happened and immediately created this topic. What tripped me out the...

Hello every one, I've noticed that my alternative Gmail account has been sending automatic responses with blank e-mails for 10 days now. It's been sending a blank text to the sender (though it altered some of the e-mails to gibberish looking ones, don't know why)...

Didn't help. This issue is actually very sporadic, some people may barely notice. But I do and it pisses me off sometimes. It's really hard to explain, I guess you could say I get some split second flickers. Any other tips?

I have a problem with videos being shaky/torn (as if frames overlap for split seconds) from time to time on Facebook when using Firefox. I had the problem on YouTube also, but I solved it by editing about:config and setting: media.mediasource.webm.enabled;true Now YouTube videos seem to work...
