Thank you Aeacus. I see it's basically hopeless and I will just plan for a new laptop.

Thank you Aeacus. She continued using the laptop for many months after breaking the screen. To be more precise she broke the hinge of the screen that caused a crack in the screen itself. So how do I figure out which component went awry? If I spend money and time to replace the MoBo and the...

Hello. I have an ASUS TP412UA-IH31T with an 8th gen I3 and 16G of soldered in RAM. Wife broke the screen so I ordered a replacement. I removed the old screen assembly and connected the new screen, albeit all while the battery was still connected. There were noises and no smoke. Anyway, the...

So I ended up with a 850W GF1. LOLOL 650W was going to be $95 delivered. No VAT since the amount is under the threshold. 850W was $89 with free shipping, so with 17% VAT which is $15, the total will be $104. So $10 more but seemed like it was worth it. Way more than the $20 I spent on the CX430...

I noticed that but understood clearly that it was a typo for the very reasons you stated. Since you want to keep this clean, I might as well ask you this. One of the lines you recommended was Corsair RX. I was not able to find that one, I did see Corsair Rm though. Is that the one you meant? If...

WOW. Heartbreak city evga.com has a 650W G6 for $60 shipped. But will not ship to Israel. Only US, Canada and Puerto Rico. It is $90 on Amazon. :O Everything else was either out of stock or much much more. So it looks like GF1 it is.

You are a treasure. Thank you so much. I'll poke around the interwebs and see if I can find any deals on the units you recommended. If not I'll go with the GF1 as it is just barely under $100, which is where I wanted to stay. Thank you. Great insights. Excellent. I'll avoid the Bronze then...

OK I went through both and still have some questions. You seem to recommend Super Flow very highly whereas he has it listed in the low priority units, which may be mine or may not. :) Here is a quick list that I found on Amazon. Does anything stand out to you at first glance? Super Flower...

I'm in Israel. So someone who ships to Israel would be great. Like Amazon or Aliexpress and the like. I see Thermaltake on sale at Amazon with free shipping to boot. But I see from your reviews in the PSU forum that you are not big on the brand. :) So I'll wait for your reply here. Thank you so...

Thank you for the fabulous and thorough reply. I bought the CX430 for my original build of a system with the 3rd Gen i5. :) So I've had it for a while. My BIOS is on the latest version which is 14 for this MOBO. And boyscout's honor I had all other drives disconnected during install. I once...
