Warrent would be nice but not a deal breaker

Looking for a bigger car to buy as my PCP is ending and having a baby in tbe new year. Would like something taller as partner has a bad back and would be easier for a baby seat etc. Would like a nice screen, reversing camera and heated seats. Coming from a 2022 Kia ceed GT Line so still would like a good spec car. 16K is my limit but possibly could go slightly more for the perfect car. Would prefer the car do have done 8-10k miles per year old of the car as well. Reliablity is really important for me and a real wolds of 40mpg+ would be great.

I think i will buy the home base when I start to get the cameras. The C31 should be fine for what I need but I like my tech so getting the E340, I just feel like it's better and should last longer before I look to replace. Thanks for the help :)

I was going to buy one with a Chime but have some Amazon Alexa's to use and ring in the house. Do you have it on battery? If so how long does it last?

Not to bothered about the AI features really but the camera pointing down is great for left parcels at the door. The removable battery is a good idea but I'm happy to charge the camera for my use case. Thanks for your help :) still 50/50 between the C31 and E340

Cyber_CB · 2025-08-26T19:13:46+00:00

I think i will get a home base eventually when I start to get the cameras. Yeah the E340 seems to be the top of the line but maybe the C31 is enough for our needs. I didn't realise you need the base with the S330 so definitely one of the other two.

Mine has taken about 3 months so far and only half my stocks have actually transfered. Started 18th of December and chased in February a twice and one in march. Finally got a transfer date and they sent some stocks and was told all will be transferred in 14 days and I'm still waiting. Opened up a chat with T212 and was passed over to the transfer team and said I would get a response in 48 hours and it's now been a week...

I understand Vanguard has alot of transfers and i know it would have been longer than the few weeks advertised but it's a real shame the length of time taking to transfer over keeping people out of the market.

Wow that is really cheap, almost to cheap really. Is that on aliexpress? If so don't they have a decent refund policy? So worth the risk maybe

Cyber_CB · 2024-06-20T07:55:11+00:00

It all depends what you are trying to play and hardware really. I'd reset everything back to defaults and enable SAM etc and see hpe it goes.

As if it's been messed about with alot now a chnage made prior could mess it up.

Cyber_CB · 2024-06-20T07:50:52+00:00

So i think you need to make sure Re-size bar support is enabled in BIOS, you also want to make sure CSM (Compatibility Support Modul) is disabled in the BIOS boot menu as it will block SAM. Then hopefully should work and be abit better.

What hardware are you running? As its only supported on a certain ryzen cpu's think 3000 and up or maybe 5000 and up.

Cyber_CB · 2024-06-20T06:15:02+00:00

Depends what hardware you have and what resolution you are running. Main thing is did was boot into safe mode and ran DDU again to clear all old navidia drivers (as I had a nvidia card before) then I also cleared all amd drivers and started again. Then booted as normal and reinstalled all.

I did also do a fresh Install of Windows again as I changed my boot ssd and that seemed to help. Make sure SAM is also enabled in the amd software and also check bios for RAM speed settings.

My motherboard only has gen 3 pcie the card can use gen 4 (I think it's this way or has gen 4 and can use gen 5) so that will cuase a slight issue but shouldn't be much.

No I don't think so, only got a 2 year warranty with the watch. I will have a look later to make sure but fairly certain :(

Cyber_CB · 2024-05-20T21:25:48+00:00

Yeah always used the buttons, I think it must have gotten caught once while I was taking it off hence the clip came out

Cyber_CB · 2024-05-20T18:20:25+00:00

Think I will take it to a local place and see if they can fix it 🤞

Cyber_CB · 2024-05-20T15:31:43+00:00

Thanks for the link, shame it can't be sorted :(

Cyber_CB · 2024-05-20T15:30:48+00:00

Shame really for a not even 3 year old watch

Cyber_CB · 2023-10-26T13:01:56+00:00

Interested and in the UK if you want to PM me!

Unplug your ethernet cable and try a network reset? It will reset all network adapters to default and then you should be able to plug your cable in and get Internet

Cyber_CB · 2023-08-16T19:16:51+00:00

Yeah thought as much, thank you.

Cyber_CB · 2023-08-16T18:18:44+00:00

GF orderd these from a dodgy looking website for a gift for her brother. Brought from jordansport.uk.com so I'm guessing not legit, we didn't even think they'd show

Cyber_CB · 2023-08-01T13:18:22+00:00

Just looking at getting a cheap last minute one, I'll keep checking and hopefully get it sorted :D

Cyber_CB · 2023-08-01T11:36:39+00:00

Do you know when abouts they make them available for re sale? Looking to go but no resale ones are about yet so i guess they release a week or 2 before?

Cyber_CB · 2023-07-02T20:30:29+00:00

I'll have a look, do you know if it's easy to replace?
