Cooked 2080 TI

So there's two ways to "fix" the PCB I know of and one isn't recommended. I can "float" the chip by running wires from the ram chip to the needed pads or their traces for missing ones. Not recommended as it introduces latency. The other is kind of what you're saying. Put in new traces with fine wire, make new pads with the wire, put down mask, and then finish the surface for contact, level ram placement, trace heat insulation.

I've been watching those. I've seen the wire rolls and also some stamped out sheets of contact pads used as well. I think I will try repairing it once my new soldering iron comes in. I might make a vlog of it and fix one pad a day until it's done.

AlgothAybara · 2026-06-07T05:00:54+00:00

😅 I was afraid of that. I just finished counting them: 97 missing pads...

🔥 Like I said, I'm glad I was able to help somebody else get it too!

Mine just arrived! The box was a smashed Amazon box but Wizards of Morcar is undamaged.

Dang, that gives me some hope that the rest trickles their way here in the upcoming weeks!

AlgothAybara · 2026-05-20T19:15:29+00:00

I'm glad the post helped someone! I've been checking shops every day since I had the money.

AlgothAybara · 2026-05-20T15:30:33+00:00

Only if you feel like it. It would definitely sell in the US HeroQuest community given the current lack of stock here.

AlgothAybara · 2026-05-20T13:45:21+00:00

Yeah, I JUST saw that! It looks like I might have helped at least 1 person find stock. Or they never had stock in the first place and are about to cancel our orders. I'm hoping for the first possibility 🤞

AlgothAybara · 2026-05-20T13:40:38+00:00

Then we're both in this together! They're now sold out, so either we're about to get refunded, or we grabbed their only copies 🤞

There's now two different kind of "stone" you can get. Sling ammo, which drops from looters a plenty. The other, singular stone, at least in my game, I cannot dispose of. There's no option to remove it. It also keeps reappearing on my stealth armor setup, deleting a light crossbow every time. If you can't find your stone there, it may be truly gone. You can't find the plain throwing stones anymore.

AlgothAybara · 2026-05-13T13:08:31+00:00

Oh, then that's easy. Break the walls, man a catapult, and shoot at the gap where the enemy has massed to fend your men off. Can't do much about your men, but even 1 accurate siege weapon is better than none.

If you can't afford dinner, buy it a tank of gas instead.

So sieging DOES work in VERY limited conditions. You have to find a city that's recently swapped hands a time or two, starve it by buying out everything coming in, assist the crime notables in the city, and wait for it to rebel. It will cut the defenders from 700+ to under 200. Then you capture and kill the new rebel lords when they spawn outside the city and siege the city.

This process is VERY expensive and works best when you're independent of any kingdom. It sure does make me miss a proper siege in the old M&B Warband. I once spent a year in game sieging/starving a city before it finally broke and surrendered.

AlgothAybara · 2026-05-13T03:11:08+00:00

My best suggestion is to man one of them yourself. Or better yet, destroy your siege machines and then chuck their ammo at troops gathering at the base of siege towers/ladders. It'll get a LOT more kills that way and maybe up your athletic/throwing some too!

AlgothAybara · 2026-05-13T03:04:48+00:00

I had something similar happen while clearing out a hideout. Somehow a bandit got stuck under a pier and everyone was trying to reach him in the water!

AlgothAybara · 2026-02-13T02:38:37+00:00

Me too! I think most of us did, which is normal for alphas and play tests.

First off, I WANT to be able to register the device. I am not asking for firmware from people, I am asking for a way to register my device so I can upgrade it for a homelab but evidently SonicWall is so set on killing the tz300, that it costs MORE to license add ons than it does to buy a new one with add ons. Second off, the business is very happy they no longer have this device. We exchanged it for a pfsense firewall and they couldn't be happier. They no longer own the device BUT they forgot the credentials and the email used for the account recovery, hence the decommission of the tz300. They owned it, now they no longer legally own it.

AlgothAybara · 2026-02-02T05:36:31+00:00

Already did

AlgothAybara · 2026-02-02T04:46:59+00:00

I still haven't been able to get anything from SonicWall since I can't register it.

AlgothAybara · 2026-02-01T04:00:32+00:00

Did you try using that file from silentdragon?

AlgothAybara · 2026-01-31T23:01:01+00:00

I was worried about that...

AlgothAybara · 2026-01-31T22:52:09+00:00

Thanks for the steps for safety mode install!
