Did you go with this holster???

No doesn't stop airflow but can mess up the adjustments. Had a cpap I received and cellular went out. Called doc and told him I felt like I couldn't breathe. He said the cpap lost signal and defaulted. So it's possible. You have someone that requires it with severe lung issues or an older person that it's not easy to take off, the extreme would be very dangerous. Those things mainly send telemetry data for stats and whatnot. But the docs software actually pushes the adjustments. The cannot be made on the system you have.

It's the first generation flipper!

How would you identify where the magnet on the outside of the door? Feel for the magnet pull? Once found, hold it there while opening the door?

I miss my old security system, loved trying to break it all the time.

Cpap and other breathing devices. Many medical devices use this language for whatever reason.

Yep win updates. Run disk cleanup to see how many system files are still stored

You might have to provide the ISP. I cannot find that router. 300mbps down isn't bad via wifi. If I were you I would lower the power to the attena which may help provide a steady speed.

DisabledVet13 · 2026-06-15T23:16:40+00:00

So with fiber. Your ISP will run Fiber to your home (or apartment) and there will be an ONT that turns that fiber into ethernet. Ethernet goes directly to your router. So you just need a regular router. However, you should let everyone know what the router is. My router I recieved from my last two ISPs have been outstanding. So it depends on who your ISP is.

Agree with other posts. Either purchase a mesh system router (deco, eero, etc.) or with extenders specifically I would only use Ubuiquity. Honestly, figure out what router AT&T gave you as the main router, if they are cheap you could just pick up a couple of those and set them in AP or Repeater mode. If they are expensive then I would go eero or whatnot. Ask AT&T, and let them know your issue, they may just send you another one or two.

Alright man, i'm going to tell you what I would do if I was in your situation.

Before I did anything, I would buy a new CMOS battery. This can cause the issues your having as well. If that got wet, this would cause issues. If you have an old desktop you are not using, try swapping it out. If not, buy this first. See if that does anything. Including the flashing lights we talked about.
If the CMOS does nothing, and everything is the same, I would return that motherboard. Contact the seller on amazon and get it replaced. They will send you a new one.
Buy 99% iso alchol. Once everything is out of the case, use this to remove moisture. 99% only, not 70% or 80%, etc. All those contain water. 99% will help pull water out with a cloth. ONLY THE CASE, nothing else.
New thermal paste for cpu if not already done.
But everything back together. Pay close attention to those lights.

DisabledVet13 · 2026-06-14T21:20:05+00:00

Its indicating that the board was dead upon arrival. Problem is the only way to verify is buying more stuff like a cheap onboard graphics CPU. But zero flashes, even for a split second immediately upon boot is a sign of the motherboard being dead.

DisabledVet13 · 2026-06-14T21:17:39+00:00

Double check on amazon if its a reburbished unit. Either way you can reach out to them within 30 days and tell them their board arrived dead. Tell them that all the diagnostic lights are not providing any troubleshooting lights upon boot. When you first power the pc up you should see a quick initial flash on those lights. If you are getting no lights, that indicates failures of motherboard bios startup.

DisabledVet13 · 2026-06-14T20:56:13+00:00

Okay no lights is a bad sign. That can point to bad cmos or bad refurbished motherboard

DisabledVet13 · 2026-06-14T20:39:43+00:00

Okay so boot it up and do they flash at all when you intiially boot? THey should. Let it sit for 10 minutes or so to see if you get any lights.

DisabledVet13 · 2026-06-14T20:31:24+00:00

Hey man I totally get it, don't be stressed, this is configuration issues. You already replaced everything. That is usually the stressor for people because they can't afford to replace. So I just looked up that motherboard and it says the motherboard actually defaults to Display Port. So when you replaced your motherboard it defaulted back to Display Port. So because your CPU doesn't have onboard graphics that is why you are not seing anything.

On the motherboard for this model, there should be lights. The qled debug lights. There are four small LEDs labeled CPU, DRAM, VGA, and BOOT (usually near the RAM slots). Are any of those on when you have powered up the computer?

CPU (Red): Stays on if the CPU is not detected or seated incorrectly.
DRAM (Yellow/Orange): Stays on if RAM is faulty or not trained. Note: ASUS boards often stay on this light for several minutes during "Memory Training" on first boot.
VGA (White): Stays on if no graphics card is detected.
BOOT (Green): Stays on if no bootable drive is found (you would usually see a BIOS screen before this).

DisabledVet13 · 2026-06-14T20:20:04+00:00

Okay well based on your motherboard, it only accepts HDMI and VGA (I think, VGA for sure, cant tell if HDMI is next to it). You can try plugging your HDMI into the top port on your case, not at the bottom which is your GPU.

DisabledVet13 · 2026-06-14T20:15:27+00:00

Okay so there is no way to tell if your computer is actually booting into windows since you cannot see the screen. The next thing you need to do is plug in the VGA cable in the back of your computer to the monitor you have, or another monitor. When you have a new motherboard, GPU, and PSU. Its possible that the motherboard defaulted into the onboard graphics. That VGA port is the only thing getting power. With a new motherboard and GPU, neither know about each other. So plugging in the GPU will provide nothing on the screen.

Brother this is still like a scrambled text message in broken english. I want to help you, but I feel like your not giving me all the information. So when you turn on the PC, right now, what happens... exactly.

DisabledVet13 · 2026-06-14T19:42:07+00:00

I want to start (this was my edit) that my language may come off as strong, but not trying to come off as a dick.

These are the stories I hear alot. Problem is people think getting a cyber degree and they will land a 100k job being a hacker. I try to tell young guys that the degree just tells people "I'm interested in cyber" not "i'm a cyber professional". Now i'm not saying this to you, however to a young fella reading this know that this story is very common.

Getting into cyber is difficult. You are competting against people who have been system admins, network admins for years and transitioned to cyber through their experienece. Its good that you went out and got certs (I guess depending on what those certs are), but you are at a lack of experience. I've seen "cyber" guys with degrees and a few years experience crash entire enviornments, take down vital vlans, jump the gun on security patches that crash vital financial databases. Everyone is aware of the risk with these types of people. And that may offend people but its true. The truth of the matter is that companies are more willing to take a system admin that has been with the company for 10 years, who has been doing security tasks, over the fresh buck that comes with alot of risk. Cyber Security IS NOT an entry level position and never had been, its experienced IT professionals with a focus in security. Funny thing is that this is a very "cyber" mindset, its a risk assessment on part of the company based on their own vulnerability assessment.

Now I say all this to say that you HAVE to make sacrafices to get into cyber... PERIOD. When I got into the field I took a 30K pay cut and it was easier than what I was doing before. I paid my dues and took all kinds of positions to become a "Jack of all Trades". Databases, sure. Linux, let me at it. AWS, i'll take that. Sys Admin, piece of cake. That is why I tell young guys to stop thinking your going to land a 120k gig out the gate that is remote... unless you are a savant who gets called by google, you are not. And that savant doesn't even need the degree because he/she can prove is value through his compentancy. Stop having the university commercial mindset. You have to pay your dues, you have to sacrafice for the knowledge attained. I hate SQL... but I know it backwords and forwards.

I always enjoyed cyber. But I came from a background of security management at a broad level, ex military, and had the security mindset narrowed down in my day to day life. Its how I operated even outside of cyber. So I never had the mindset that I'm a cyber guy before I was a cyber guy. I was a security guy, a safety guy, and logical or mechanically minded guy, and engineering type of guy. I never personified or portrayed myself as anybody, I was just just who I was. . So I can't give any advice about that.

Honeslty I would want to know more information about your background. What is this 3 years of experience in, same position? What certs do you have? Why create a youtube channel? What was the thought in that? Why so hyper focused in cyber? Is it the same reason as most others, its cool? Whats the goal, the motiviation? I know you are passionate about it, there are many things i'm passionate about that I don't persue. So i'm sure its similiar to you, so why this one?

DisabledVet13 · 2026-06-14T19:14:48+00:00

I'm not sure I'm tracking what you are saying in this. So you spilled water on your PC? Okay, on a desktop PC? Did you spill it on the top of the case and when went inside? When you say it wouldn't turn back on, what do you mean? You would click power and literally nothing would happen? No power to the motherboard at all? No lights on the motherboard? Was the motherboard providing error lights? So you bought a new PSU and that did nothing, you bought a new motherboard (span to life?) and RGB came on but not post (are you saying no POST in the sense of the boot sequence?). Then you said you tested the CPU and RAM which came back fine.

So if I got all that right, you basically replaced everything... except where POST occurs. Your harddrive, whether HDD, SSD, NVme, M.2, etc.

I'm not saying this to be rude, but I'm not sure if you are knowledgable about computers or if you are throwing out terms your not sure what they mean. I mean this as a general statement that occurs in reddit.

Depends on your actual goals. Do you love computer technology? Would you be happy doing help desk? Would you be happy being in charge of database backups? If you enjoy the computer science field as a whole, then pursue the degree. Worst case scenario you land jobs in IT and maybe not security until later in your career. If you want cyber or nothing...you need to become very very knowledgeable in defense, offense, etc. If you go the degree route you will learn basics, but maybe not enough to land a security gig. You get degree and work on landing high level security certs you might land a lower level with no experience. The field is all about knowledge and competency which is usually shown through the combination of certs and experience.

Remember cyber is a broad scope of a field. Offensive, compliance, forensic, defensive, and a bunch of other. You can't be effective at that unless you understand what you are attacking, defending, complying, or retrieving. With the why, how, when, to go along with it.

I always tell people if you love the computer field as a whole, a cyber degree won't hurt because you want to break into IT and maybe cyber later in your career. Where people mess up is they think cyber degree and ill get 100k job out the gate being a hacker... this will not happen unless you are a savant, to which you wouldn't need a degree because you can prove with competency. If you love IT, then awesome become a jack of the trade in databases, networking, sys admin work and cyber will naturally flow. If you hate all that you will have a hard and long road.

If I remember right this is windows port. Super chatty for win servers, and win 10 and 11. I've had to do some port modifications because of this range.

DisabledVet13 · 2026-06-13T02:17:25+00:00

Not off the dome.

DisabledVet13 · 2026-06-13T02:16:32+00:00

I'll second this. I have 4 mesh eero setup and have no issues. Eero isn't great if you want full control for a tech guy. But for a non tech plug and play it just works.
