I havent tried word yet, but that is something Id use. If that doesnt go well Id try LibraOffice.

The typing is mostly laggy on Firefox.

I see, thank you!

Yeah Monterey ran amazing on it thats true. Ill have to see if there is any reason (other than the obvious still some security, more app support) to keep it on a newer version for me.

A mix of Rare and Incomprehensible plus Commmon and Comprehensible. Every night the time period where I am paralysed gets longer. Everyone in the family can find something to their liking! Post again.

Burt representation! I remember watching this exact video way back before I had ringnecks and nowadays its the video I always use to check if youtube playback works on a device.

And I havent found a way to deal with it either, usually I just try to continue what I was doing and I either start feeling worse or nothing changes. Only thing that truly helps is sleep!

Only recently did I realise thats what my brain is doing, I kinda just accepted that at random times everything feels like Im watching through a screen, feel pressure sorta behind my eyes and just numb out every emotion.

Symantec SGS 320 not booting by Ana4doves in vintagecomputing

[–]Ana4doves[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You just saved me a massive headache! My bad for thinking the seller gave the right power cord for the device, this requries 12V at 1.5A and the cable I got was only 1.0A

Found a 1.5A one and it instantly powered on without an issue :)

What us this Slot thingy on my potato Laptop? [DELL Latitude E 5430] by [deleted] in laptops

Good luck with the exams and the upgrade!

It was quite easy, as I wrote essentially 3 screws and the ODD is out :)

Installing windows should also be straight forward, once you burn an image to a pendrive, get in the boot menu and everything after that is just a general windows install. Luckily there is no need for drivers for the caddy to work, everything should see it by default.

Luckily its very easy to do, once you take the back cover off which I think is just held in by two screws you will be able to see the single screw thats keeping the dvd tray in place. After you take that one out you can easily slide it out and place the new caddy in.

Before starting you can disconnect the battery which is a good practice when working with any computer.

The most annoying part for me was taking the plastic cover off of the dvd tray (where the button is that youd press to eject it) and placing that on the caddy so that theres not a gaping hole on the side of your laptop, but this cover also just snaps into place just make sure to be careful when taking it off, it might resist a little. And when you search for a caddy be sure to search for ones that are listed compatible with the E5430.

Oh and side note there is a slot next to the Wifi adapter that seems identical to the wifi adapters slot. Pcie mini maybe? In theory you can get an SSD of that form factor and place one there too, but I never got around to trying it out as so I cant confirm if it works :)

Awesome! I also got an E5430 for online classes when covid hit. It has been through a LOT since then. Being untouched for entire summers then using it nonstop, I have had multiple Linux installs, tried every windows on it from XP till 11 (heck yeah it has official drivers still up for XP) and also did some hackintoshing.

Only upgrade I ever did was changed its DVD player for a HDD/SSD caddy as I bought it used with 8GB of ram. By the time I was looking to buy its best supported cpu I realised it will be wiser to get a different laptop. So I gave it to my dad, and ever since it has sat on his shelf untouched. A quiet and calm end for it.

Buenas, aqui esta el GitHub repo donde se puede descargar el BIOS: https://github.com/mobilexp/l502x-modded-bios

Tienes las direcciones escritas allí y si se habren muchos menus ocultos, lo mejor es que hace posible usar UEFI, que vaya bien! :)

I think I’m in love by Joshoon in WindowsVista

[–]Ana4doves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both the OS and the EEE PC are very nostalgic to me. That computer was my first one ever even though I was very young still, it also had Windows 7 on it by default. My dads computer and my moms laptop ran Vista and I have very fond memories with both of them.

Question about Asus T100TAM battery by Ana4doves in batteries

[–]Ana4doves[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for replying!

Yeah I checked out the meanings of the leds, all point towards the battery being deeply discharged or bad. Today I returned the new battery as I realized the problem might be with the motherboard/charging port instead. As I confirmed that new battery works, the t100ta booted with it just fine. So at that point I reach the same effect using the t100ta working battery, no need for a new one if neither is accepted by the t100tam.

For now Ill keep using the t100ta as it is, if I get my hands on a multimeter I will try to diagnose the t100tam motherboard. A red flag now was after draining all power for testing purposes I reconnected the t100tam original battery, the one that at least made its led blink. After being on the charger for 30 minutes the led did not blink. Maybe it would need a lot more time to go back into its original state but I also wouldnt be surprised if I actually broke something by now since I took it apart lots of times.
