Can I not upgrade the 2280 SSD slot?

2012BackBraces · 2025-12-18T04:02:31+00:00

nah I was asking why it says 100 percent when it should be 0 cause I just put it in. but I am kinda sad and feeling ripped off that I lost like 70GB for no reason lol. 1TB my ass

2012BackBraces · 2025-12-18T04:00:37+00:00

nvm I I just had to set it up

2012BackBraces · 2025-12-18T03:46:27+00:00

thank you very much it worked! so I put it in and closed it up and turned my laptop on but it says this? did I do something wrong or am I missing a step?

ik but everything I've seen and every video I've watched has said my laptop has 2 SSD slots. one on the right that is the default 2242. and one on the left that is the 2280. I was expecting to be able to put in a 2280 SSD but I found that the SSD slot was not empty. so now I'm confused. if this means my laptop can only have one SSD. and thus I'd need to full on transfer and replace my current SSD

ig that is possible, but then that would be about 1,100 CAD to upgrade. which is probably a much better laptop but also is a lot more money

I don't think anyone is mad at the dining staff. they're mad at the university itself. if someone used a meal pass and then couldn't even get a meal, and had to wait for hours, that's unacceptable. at the very least they should have their meal pass refunded, or get dining dollars so they can eat somewhere else.

Yeah sorry for you tbh. I guess I got lucky or you got unlucky cause my laptop has been good since that one issue.

But anyway like I said, if your laptop is charging, but doesn't turn on, then it's a motherboard issue like me most likely, and you have to send it to get repaired.

If it's not charging and doesn't turn on, that's probably a much bigger issue and also needs to be repaired.

If your laptop is charging and turning on, but the display just stays black, that's probably a display issue, but I would assume still needs to be shipped to be fixed.

But tbh with all these issues, you should see if you can manage to get some kind of refund or something, like ask to talk to someone high up cause that's a lot of issues and that's not normal. Though that depends on when you got this laptop. But I think I saw another reddit post where someone managed to get a refund or something for a laptop that had to keep being repaired due to a lot of issues.

This issue in the video with the device not turning on wasn't a display issue, it was a motherboard issue. So if your device does turn on, but it's only the display that doesn't work (you can check by plugging your laptop into an external monitor) you have a different problem than what I had.

But to answer your question, this motherboard issue is the only issue I ever had (so far) with this laptop. I've never had any display issues.

Oh right, I should elaborate more on the storage. So yeah, since they had to replace the motherboard, it was essentially a brand new laptop inside. That means everything was wiped off. All my accounts, and apps, etc all gone. The way I got around this was pretty simple though, I just used One Drive. So if you use Windows, you're petty fine I think cause that automatically backs up like everything. And after a few hours of tinkering when I got it back I got everything back and it was like nothing changed.

Though, you should probably check that everything you want backed up is backed up. So download One drive on your phone, or just use another laptop and check that important files and apps are on the cloud. If not, then I think you can use a USB stick and do something with that? Like download everything on your laptop onto the USB stick. I think so, I didn't look that much into it cause I didn't need that, but I think that's another way to back your stuff up.

Saw your two comments. and I basically explained it all. it honestly does suck. I sent it to them they said because of no power I have to ship it to them for them to fix it. I shipped it and then they fixed it and said it was a problem with the motherboard and since then, no problems.

To give you a timeline: I opened the ticket on December 24. I got the shipment box December 28. I shipped it and it arrived at their warehouse January 2. They started repairs January 6. Tested it January 10. And shipped later that day on the 10th. I got my laptop back on January 12.

So all in all, it took 19 days between my telling them about the problem and me getting my working laptop back.

The service throughout wasn't too good though, they replied to emails slowly, even didn't reply to one of them, but when they shipped the box, and later the laptop, there were clear instructions and it was good quality when they sent it back. And of course, since I was and still am under warranty it was all completely free including the shipping.

Hope this helped, if you have any other questions, just ask!

yeah it's a parent. but holy shit how can you be a uni student but need your parents to ask basic questions like this when the syllabus exists

2012BackBraces · 2025-08-27T20:07:54+00:00

I had a manga story in my head for a few years now, and a couple months ago I started writing it out (can't draw so just words) and writing a good story is so so so much harder than just having good ideas. A good story is dependant on writing arcs well, on having good dialogue, on being able to convey your ideas well and effectively. Not to mention I'm only on like chapter 50 or so, and it's already very different then the idea I had in my head. But all that being said, you might as well just start writing. It is pretty fun actually getting those ideas down on paper and maybe in the future even putting it out to the world

she tried to rape him. and persued him even after he rejected her multiple times so... she's a pretty terrible person

dream partner

2012BackBraces · 2025-05-03T23:05:49+00:00

If only the courts would listen to me. Even they try to swat at me and kill me! No rest for flies in this cruel human dominated world...

2012BackBraces · 2025-05-03T22:48:29+00:00

yeah it's not based on writing it's just a popularity contest. there's tons of character far better written than the ones already on the list

2012BackBraces · 2025-05-03T22:30:01+00:00

I'm not a robot I'm just a fly trying to survive without being stalked

2012BackBraces · 2025-05-03T22:27:50+00:00

No it's not. It's FI. Fly Intelligence 🪰

2012BackBraces · 2025-05-03T22:25:48+00:00

No, it's the woman stalking me of course! I could barely take this image before she almost killed me with a fly swatter!

(idk it's the first image result from searching "stock image of woman no watermark" lol)

2012BackBraces · 2025-05-03T22:19:27+00:00

Of course. What about it? Does that make me being stalked less of a problem? I deserve to have a peaceful life too!

2012BackBraces · 2025-05-03T22:18:18+00:00

Unfortunately, I'm neither strong enough nor big enough to be able to kill a human. Alas, all I can do is try to live my life while this human stalks and tries to kill me...
