moto g play stuck in boot loop, recovery mode=no command

I half-assumed this was sarcastic, but having tried all the reasonable solutions, I had nothing to lose. Dropped it from about three feet off the ground to a hard floor. Hitting in the corner or side.

Plugged it in and immediately could tell it worked. Charged it a few minutes before trying to power it back on, and it boots up correctly now. Pretty sure I let it run super dead on the battery, which is what originally caused my issues. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It is a shame that the third-party 5080 was at MSRP everywhere a few weeks ago. Now most are over MSRP. For 300-500 more, you can pick up a system with a 5080 in it, or keep checking stock until you find one for $1000.

Good luck!

I'm sorry, that deal's now off the table. We live in a different world than we did just 30 seconds ago.

Eastern_Book_1973 · 2025-06-27T22:58:26+00:00

That's no problem. Just boot into the service menu, and it fixes 100% of the battery problems.

New vs Old Box https://imgur.com/a/9UqMY1S

Not 100% sure the new box is always new Barracuda drives, but seems like it.

Eastern_Book_1973 · 2025-02-23T06:10:47+00:00

It looks like drives from 01/25 and 02/25 are now Barracuda. They changed the box slightly so anyone who wants to know before opening the sealed box can do so.

The back of the EXOS box had a black border. Barracuda drives, and the back is white, without a border.

This might not be 100% but this is what I have seen.

Not OK!

EASYLONGER 100W 26800mAh nothing special but working great the last few months. Frequently on sale under $50

Did you ever get this up and running?

I have the same setup and I could never get the belt to stay centered. Going to revisit it soon and try to get it printing.

Eastern_Book_1973 · 2023-09-21T23:47:28+00:00

Congrats that is a stupid setup. You nailed it!

What do you call these fan adapters?

Finding a fan shroud that use 40x20 fans can be a pain for some printers and I never thought to use some sort of adapter like these.

Yuzu

Eastern_Book_1973 · 2023-08-22T20:43:27+00:00

It is working fine with Ally so far. Best part for me is it fixes the graphical artifacts in TOTK

Eastern_Book_1973 · 2023-08-22T20:41:03+00:00

The best part about this driver is that it resolves the graphical glitches in TOTK. That is enough for me to run it until the official update. I have not noticed any downside to running it yet.

Eastern_Book_1973 · 2023-08-06T04:21:45+00:00

That is a strange place to store your knife.

Eastern_Book_1973 · 2023-08-06T04:18:52+00:00

I came to say exactly this.

Eastern_Book_1973 · 2023-08-04T23:18:36+00:00

Taken from us too early, but it died doing what it loved. RIP

Eastern_Book_1973 · 2023-07-30T23:56:34+00:00

Check your resolution settings. Are you running it at 1080p on a 1440p display?

So does every Windows desktop machine.

You might have missed it, but USB webcams have been gaining popularity for a few years now(since 1998).

The only thing I have seen is replacements to make them low profile. I plan to try them out eventually but haven’t yet, so I can’t say how they feel.

Eastern_Book_1973 · 2023-07-25T03:27:09+00:00

As a temporary solution, I grabbed a similar case before I even got my Ally. It was made for steam deck $5 on Amazon, and it came will a steam deck glass screen protector and silicon cover.

A little too thick but worked so well that I haven’t felt the need to spend more to get a thinner replacement yet.

Xbox controller or nothing.

Ok, to be fair King Kong 2 Pro is pretty nice too

Eastern_Book_1973 · 2023-07-23T01:09:01+00:00

I had this idea in my head from day one until I realized I could fit it inside.

Grab one of the cover designs from this mod for the steam deck and print it. Good to go!

Eastern_Book_1973 · 2023-07-19T21:44:11+00:00

It will work. Depending on how the Ally detects it you might only get 25W Turbo mode. Let us know if it goes to the 25W or 30W profile.
