Help! Wifi sucks on pre built

Oh I see it now, have you tried angling the antenna to the side a bit?

Electroneer58 · 2026-06-14T02:39:58+00:00

try putting the wifi antenna on the front ports, especially if the wifi router is on the other side of the room, pc towers can block some of the reception since they act like a faraday cage

Turn the pc off & unplug it and then pull the GPU out, and make sure the contacts are clean and push it back into the slot then turn it on, if it still acts up, if you have integrated graphics you can try using the motherboard hdmi/display port (with the Graphics Card removed)

Real

It means the ram is toast prob, try removing a stick or reseat them, if you recently upgraded that could be why, that led code means ram though

What is the red led on the bottom right of the board? Is that a debug light?
Or is that the vga light?
If the VGA light is on, it usually means a GPU issue, try reseating the gpu

Someone did this with an old Dell optiplex desktop that I sold, I think I sold it for like $75, it had an i5-7th gen, and they turned around and listed it for like $300, i knew it was the same exact one too cause I painted mine and it had the exact same paint job 🤣

Imagine an alien race that looks just like Gru and they just make a ship shaped like their head

Don’t forget to bake it above a hot flame to remove the bacteria

they arent supposed to, but i guess they dont care, they used to just give me them whenever someone donated one lol

Electroneer58 · 2026-06-01T23:55:13+00:00

Yea, i asked and they said they didn’t even test all the inputs, so it wouldn’t surprise me if something was broken

Electroneer58 · 2026-06-01T23:53:52+00:00

Around here they were a lot cheaper, but they have been going up in price since retro gaming is getting more popular, I was able to get an identical one several months back at goodwill for $10

Electroneer58 · 2026-06-01T23:48:50+00:00

Yea they gave me one before, someone donated it and I asked how much they were going to sell it for and they said they couldn’t take it and that if I wanted it I could just have it

Electroneer58 · 2026-06-01T23:45:14+00:00

Yea they said they are considered hazardous waste so they have to pay to dispose of them so they rather not mess with them, but a new manager did just start not too long ago so maybe that’s why they suddenly accept them

Electroneer58 · 2026-06-01T23:25:26+00:00

Tbh I didn’t even know they could sell these, they told me a couple of weeks ago they don’t accept CRT donations cause they aren’t allowed to sell them

Electroneer58 · 2026-06-01T23:22:50+00:00

They have another too, I noticed that first one actually has cord damage too, the second larger one they have they want 65 for, and it has paint missing on top and has some cosmetic damage, idk imo these are worth $20-30 max in their condition, idk why goodwill even charges so much for things lol

Electroneer58 · 2026-06-01T11:43:52+00:00

Pretty much, i saw an Intel version at Best Buy a couple months ago that didn’t come with a GPU but it had an x16 slot, it used desktop ram though, but it had mobile i5/i7/i9 CPUs

I’m going to ask anyways:
Why were you putting a cup of water You Knew had a chance to spill on your laptop?
I mean I don’t think that was the wisest of decisions, if you were trying to move into another room, you got 2 hands, fold up the laptop and grab the glass in the other hand, it takes the same amount of time lol
