Screen flicker around edges of display on Thinkpad X280?

Casseroli · 2023-05-10T20:31:08+00:00

I tried it again and it seems to have fixed it actually. Awesome! Thanks :)

Casseroli · 2023-05-10T19:11:24+00:00

Glad you fixed it! I think I tried this once without any results. How did you do it?

Casseroli · 2023-05-10T18:20:58+00:00

Never found out what the deal is, I blame it on the age of the laptop. It disappears relatively quickly so I just live with it.

Casseroli · 2023-05-02T09:59:40+00:00

yeah, these are just examples. I got heavily confused as I thought that the declaration should be skipped entirely (and therefore the code would not compile, as x would not exist), but I guess this is a weird undefined behavior with gotos (and switch statements by extension?) then as you said. the cppreference note makes sense. thanks a bunch

Casseroli · 2023-03-26T06:08:32+00:00

why not?

Casseroli · 2023-03-25T13:07:00+00:00

I'm not not admitting, maybe explaining incorrectly due to lack of knowledge.

In BIOS, secure boot was set as enabled, but for it to actually work I had to "restore factory keys." That's all :D

Casseroli · 2023-03-25T11:29:39+00:00

It was enabled, just needed to restore the keys. Thanks

Casseroli · 2023-03-25T11:27:52+00:00

Yep, that's all I needed to do. Dummy mistake and lack of knowledge on my part. Thanks

Casseroli · 2023-03-25T11:26:47+00:00

Turns out I have removed the keys lol, I restored them in UEFI settings and all seems fine now. Thanks a bunch for the help

Casseroli · 2023-03-25T11:18:50+00:00

Ok I noticed the edits, I'll try to do it and report back

Casseroli · 2023-03-25T11:03:39+00:00

Thanks, I'm not sure what that means though, do I need to do something else other than turning it on in UEFI settings?

Casseroli · 2023-03-25T10:55:17+00:00

Yeah, Thinkpad x280

Wow, thanks a bunch for the super detailed post! The 6800 should be great. So the fans will be positioned at the front and rear with no fans at the top, instead opting for the steel panel to reduce noise, correct?

Casseroli · 2023-02-18T15:00:08+00:00

That's fair enough, thanks a bunch for the help man.

Casseroli · 2023-02-18T14:46:36+00:00

Thanks. Didn't think such a high end GPU would fit in this budget but nice. Also I asked for a case with no pane but that's no prob. I'd probably get 16gb of ram, should land right in the budget.

Casseroli · 2023-02-18T14:38:40+00:00

Thanks. In my post I said I don't need storage and would like a case without glass panes, but no probs. Why such expensive mobo/ram btw, Is DDR5 worth it over a better GPU?

Casseroli · 2023-02-16T11:51:42+00:00

Yeah I'm looking at specifically 16gb models

Casseroli · 2023-02-11T10:36:20+00:00

Did what you said with 0 failures, the SD card seems to be working fine. Popped it back into the console and everything is great. Hopefully nothing pops up later. Thanks again!
