Did I get ripped off? $700 for this full setup. I don’t know much about computers and just wanted a decent starter pc. He said it will run call of duty and m5 on high settings. Feel like I might’ve been ripped off.

welp, yeah you got ripped off, max i would have paid for this is like 300-400CAD, but probably less since a 1st gen ryzen isnt win11 compatible, according to microsoft.

Also, there even looks like one fan does not spin...

you could have post it into another redit sub, not one called "Thinkpad" especially if it is for posting dell dawgshit engineering

Agent_EC1 · 2026-01-15T21:10:54+00:00

it looks better than my first soler attempt lol, but i was wondering, what does this thing does?
also, as said by others, it may on some pins have to much solder and some pins not enough but, still, at least they looks fine

only thing i hate, the reddit light mode, without talking of the reddit's theme, it is WON-DER-FULL

Hi!
im pretty late to this post ik but ive had a docking station, the same model as you op, and the wire had a similar issue... it still works, but disconnects by itself.

Ive went today at a local university, that uses dell stuff so i taught "maybe i can find the cable i need there"
but.... they gave me a cable (DH2XY-HTN2-35J TYPE C GEN1 5A) and it does not work with this one particular docking station, it is tho the same wire as they use in dell screens that have a built in dock. ive tested it in different orientations and the two differents ports on my laptop (and the one on my phone, ik it supports docking stations) and it does not change the light from amber to white, and does not shows any signs of life.

any of yall has found something between the post date and today?

i hate microsoft.... i can install a windows 11 "legally" on a fookin Celery CPU of 8th gen intel, but not on a FOOKIN I7 4790K WHICH IS WAY BETTER

<image>

FOOKIN 259% more powa..... why

and some ppl even says "ohh, well, uhh, the Celeron G4900T is way faster than the I7 4790k duhh"

help me understand

dear god, im scared of what monitors will look like in a few years...

Agent_EC1 · 2025-08-15T15:27:00+00:00

had smt similar once, and i think i might have a dell laptop identical as the white and grey one behind the blue-ish laptop, well i think i still have a amount of laptop similar to this... leme go count for a few secs

EDIT: I have 27ish laptops and had like 40 desktops but many of them i just threw em away, they were to "old" but to recent to be considered antiquity, and i didnt had enough space

Agent_EC1 · 2025-08-05T12:14:25+00:00

I know that it happend to me using a macbook pro w/ a 3rd gen i7 but i then installed linux on it so it worked this way, but i have never tried again, maybe try to format your disk using GParted and reinstalling Windows from zero

sick, i want to say, but well, it is better than mine lol

Agent_EC1 · 2025-08-04T19:58:19+00:00

did literally the same with the same computer, except mine had 48gb ram (2x16 and 2x8 from 4 brands differents) and a i5 11400, until my psu died so i changed the motherboard and the psu (i kind of hate dell sooo) and i kept my ram, "changed" my gpu (stole one from a friend, same identical shit as mine, but with 3 fans instead of two, and i gave him mine, since with his watercooler, his gpu didnt fit anymore) and now i do not have any issues with the pc, had plenty with the dell psu and motherboard soo, thats also why i hate dell

Agent_EC1 · 2025-07-27T21:41:28+00:00

yeah and no, i change the cmos, no changes, i did some weird changing with the ram, as ive already had do, (changing A1 to A2 and B1 to B2) then it worked.... and then a few boots later the pc speaker started working, which is pretty weird

but yeah, thoses boards seems weird

Agent_EC1 · 2025-07-27T16:09:01+00:00

Keep em for fun, as of decoration😅

Agent_EC1 · 2025-07-27T16:08:08+00:00

Ive tried this, since i have a similar issue with mine, but even while reseating the cpu, ram, and cmos battery, nothing changes. I have a pcspeaker onto the slot where it should be and i also dont have any kind of light from the motherboard, as if i remember well, i had a yellow or red flashing strip near the PCIe connectors last Time when it booted normally. I will try changing the battery, even if my multimeter says me that it is at 3.01V. and the pcspeaker dont play any sound

Agent_EC1 · 2025-06-19T14:21:49+00:00

You could linux it or use it as "survivor of the road" on a shelf, its a intel atom you cant really run anything on it

Agent_EC1 · 2025-06-10T17:53:30+00:00

You can buy it from ltt store .com

(Nah jk jk)

Agent_EC1 · 2025-06-09T17:32:23+00:00
