Hey All, I have an HP 9018 Inkjet Printer and HP has been blocking 3rd party ink for a while which is preventing me from printing or even scanning. I was able to disable firmware updates and downloaded the older firmware, but when I try and install the firmware on my PC with the printer...

Does anyone have any experience with I-Fix it for MacBook battery replacement? I've heard they do not use OEM batteries and could be 3rd party, so I wanted to ask before I jump in on this. This is for a 2017 Pro /w touch bar. I have also read good things regarding I-Fix it, so I wanted to get...

Hey Everyone. I have a 2017 Macbook Pro 15" with the touch bar and the battery is stating "service recommended". I have done plenty of these on Windows PC's but never on a MAC. I have priced on Microcenter and Apple to do the repair and it's going to cost around $300.00 for parts and labor. A...

Yes, good catch on the typo. It's an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X

I wanted to say thanks for sending me the pcpartpicker site. It really helped me out. I went with an AMD Ryzen 5700X processor and an Asus Rog B650-A motherboard. I also wound up getting 32GB of DDR5 6000 CL30. I probably spent more than I should have on the motherboard but I have always used...

Thanks, I am not a power user. I mostly use the PC for internet but do watch videos and use spreadsheets. I'm not sure if I should look into a dedicated GPU rather than using one that comes built in the motherboard. I currently have an AMDFX8310 8 core 3.40 GHZ with Asus M5A97 R2.0 MB. Let me...

Hey All, I have not built a new system in about 10 years. The online place I used to get my MB/CPU Combos out is no longer around. They were great because once you picked a MB they would show you the processes that were compatible and so on. I am looking to an Asus MB/CPU Combo using an AMD...

Thanks! Any suggestions on video cards off the top of your head? Or am I better off just searching the internet? Most of the monitors I have found do come with HDMI and DP, so I could use either one

I am looking for some suggestions on a dual video card that has dual HDMI ports. The current card I have is an Asus Geforce GTX 1050. It's not bad card it just does not have the connections I need and I don't want to buy adapters. I was considering the Asus Geforce 710 (90YV0E60-M0NA00)...

I am looking for a recommendations for an all in 1 color (inkjet) printer. Id like to spend 300 or less, but would go up in budget if I had to. I don't think laser is a good option due to the cost of the printer and toner. I plan to use this printer for mostly scanning and copying. I need...

It seems that edge does not pull favorites from the same location that I.E uses. After some research I found that edge uses the location below to pull favorites. (C:\Users\GIaco\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\Favorites) So I deleted...

I am looking to purchase a Macbook either the air or Pro. I work in the IT field and need to learn Mac's. I am leaning towards the air as it still has a decent video card and I won't be doing much with it except watching YouTube videos, internet and other small items. I've read that new models...

I figured that. It sounds like I will be looking to purchase newer equipment. Should I be looking for display port or HDMI connection wise for my desktop monitors? Please Advise Thanks

Hi All, I just purchased a new graphics card since my old one kicked the bucket. I had a ATI Radeon 3450 using the splitter and DVI connections from my monitors. (The quality was great.) I recently purchased and installed an Asus R7240-2GD3-L. I am using 1 DVI connection and one VGA...

I am looking for a dual video card that is windows 10 X64 compatible. I need something that supports DVI/VGA connections. I mostly browse the internet, listen to music and do word processing. I do not do online gaming so I would need anything too fancy. I'd rather not spend more than 150 if...
