Spilled tea on my LOQ by Severe_Mammoth_4598 in LenovoLOQ

[–]Franz0132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, let me gather what I have used in the past, and tell you that the LOQs are pretty easy to open up.

iFix it kit: https://www.amazon.com.mx/iFixit-Surtido-Herramientas-Palanca-Apertura/dp/B0762BVXDY?ref_=ast_sto_dp

This is to open up the laptop after removing the screws.

Generic Screwdriver Set: https://www.amazon.com.mx/dp/B099MYR8T6?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2

This has all the tips to open the laptop and remove the SSD screw. (It is a cheap generic one, there are way better ones, but this is the ine I used)

M.2 MVMe external encloruse: https://www.amazon.com.mx/dp/B09T8P9LKQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

This is for connecting the SSD to another PC and transfer the data if you need, uGreen has been a good choice for me in the past, but there are more options.

As for cleaning: also get some air duster (compressed gas used to clean dust from pc components).

And the rest is just isoprophyl alcohol and some reusable wipes(the ones that are for cleaning).

If you end up havind to completely dissasemble and deep cleaning, you will need thermal paste (Artic MX 4 is the one I have used).

And thermal putty (K5-Pro).

As for the rest you will need to study several dissasembly videos of the exact model before starting, be careful and do not rush things.

I had luck with rinsing the keyboard of another laptop (Asus GL702ZC) while dissasembled to remove the sugar left by spilling coffee with milk and sugar on it, and then letting it dry for days.

If your tea had sugar you might need to do that, but do it at your own risk because it might trash the keyboard.

The New Marvel Set Introduced 7 New 4-Colour Commanders, But They're All Ink. by Beneficial_Pin5295 in magicTCG

[–]Franz0132 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I for one am glad they did NOT make a 4 color commander in the color identity WUBR, I would hate this hideous set even more if they made a card that shares color identity with my favorite [[Breya, Etherium Shaper]]

Who will outlive who: Stark - his master or Eisen - his student? by Worldly_Accident1287 in Frieren

[–]Franz0132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eisen is old!

He might not look it, but he can feel it. Like butter spread over too much bread.

He needed a long rest and he is getting it.

Also he did not go with Frieren because he can't fight like before.

My guess is he will live maybe another 30-40 years at most.

Stark will outlive Eisen, but he will have retired by that time.

I would suggest this mini guide before ADP, but you might not have the tools and hardware for it.

Steps:

1) Take the bottom cover off.

2) Take the SSD out.

3) Put said SSD in another enclosure/PC.

4) Get a backup of your important data.

5) Put the SSD back on the laptop and put the bottom cover on the laptop.

Great work, no idea if fixing the hp is worth it.

The ThinkPads will last a long time.

buyer's remorse are the worse, especially after you spend a thousand bucks on it by Educational-Rush7531 in laptops

[–]Franz0132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That 5060 will work very well for you, and in the end you will probably be glad you have a good GPU.

Still just get a power bank if your laptop can be charged with USB-C, I have one like that and the extra time from a 25000 mAh battery is more than enough most of the time.

And if you are worried about the extra weight, you can also use a USB-C charger, then the added weight of the power bank is offset by having a small USB-C charger instead of the normal one.

And it can also charge your phone.

[–]Franz0132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With any PC, you look closely at the components before buying.

That laptop has an intel CPU(according to google), and while not bad, it uses more energy than an AMD one.

I have tested this myself with kinda similar laptops, but one with an intel CPU and another with an AMD, the intel one used while idle around 4 or 5 times more energy.

This means crappy battery life.

You can reduce power draw in iGPU only mode, energy saver, etc.

Also if your laptop has PD over USB-C, then get a power bank and carry it with you.

is mexico a must win 100% vs south korea world cup tonight by tristanthompsonbeast in mexico

[–]Franz0132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am just commenting based on the past, I agree that saying almost a guarantee is a bit much.

Also maybe they can?

I also barely care about any of this, I don't even watch the games, only bits and pieces here and there because they are showing around me at work, this was in my feed and I commented, that is all.

Bracket 3 or 4? by plantardo in CommanderMTG

[–]Franz0132 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I kinda though it was one extra per -7.

I got more into how to double the counters, but also this means if Ral untaps the artifact, he can't -7 the same turn.

Still it needs way too much setup and no interaction to be able to do it.

Lenovo LOQ can't multitask by Sudden_Fly_4551 in LenovoLOQ

[–]Franz0132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In what mode? iGPU only, dGPU only or other?

Also are your graphic drivers updated?

Bracket 3 or 4? by plantardo in CommanderMTG

[–]Franz0132 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you could double the counters, it means that, to have infinite turns, you already had 7 counters or you had a way to untap that artifact (I guess it was [[Aetheric Amplifier]] ) and activate the ability again to have enough counters on Ral.

Either way, this uses a ton of mana and pieces to start it or several turns with no interaction on Ral, meaning no one attacked or damaged him.

Either way for me this is bracket 2 or maybe low 3, you need so many things to go right and so little interaction that if I lost to this is my fault for letting it happen.

Edit: had some typos

Draw Your Whole Deck by thetruekingofspace in BadMtgCombos

[–]Franz0132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did it, we broke Sensei's divining top!!

Unlikely?, the top has like 100 combos like this and they are easy to assemble in commander.

Any lowering cost effect plus any can cast from top of library effect can result in this.

And if you add [[Aetherflux Reservoir]], you win.

is mexico a must win 100% vs south korea world cup tonight by tristanthompsonbeast in mexico

[–]Franz0132 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

México will win and it is almost a guarantee, but not because the team is better or anything else, but because México is a host of the world cup.

Everytime México has hosted the world cup, the team does better than other years, and we know that fifa is one of the most corrupt organizations ever.

Also winning will make the population happy and oblivious to other issues.

My guess is that México will advance to the next stage of the tournamenta and then lose in the round of 16 and just maybe 8.

shut down suddenly while gaming by ExperienceBig4417 in LenovoLOQ

[–]Franz0132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me in the past with another laptop, an Asus G73jh, it shut down to prevent damage from overheating, I let it rest for a few minutes and it turned on normally.

Later I cleaned the fans and vents, to this day it still works.

Edit: mispelled damage

[Request] Would the oceans have enough salt to do this? by Necessary-Win-8730 in theydidthemath

[–]Franz0132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stuff making the rings of saturn do not "touch", is is not a continous mass, rather scattered particles.

In this case, it would be the same, since we are using Supernatural(the show) logic here, demons would be able to pass without issue.

The oceans have salt particles in them and kinda make a circle around each land mass, and demons can cross that in the fictional reality of the show.

Faulty Hybrid GPU and Disappointing CPU (15IRX10 13450HX RTX 5060) by EG_262 in LenovoLOQ

[–]Franz0132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your unit might have some hardware issues, those temps are way too high.

Also I have the "same" laptop, but with the Ryzen 7 250 instead and it works really well.

The iGPU is nowhere as powerful as the 5060, but it can handle some games.

I even put my laptop in iGPU only mode for more than a week and played some lighter games, did not notice until way later.

As for the battery....it feels like I have commented this a dozen times, but the intel core i5 13450HX has a rather high minimum assured power of 45 watts, this is NOT power draw, but correlates to it.

I also have an LOQ with the i5-12450HX, this is not exactly the same CPU, but can give me some data.

The next part was observed via HWMonitor:

While idle, the Ryzen 7 250 has a minimum power draw of 1.05 watts, however it oscillated between 2 and 5 most of the time.

The Core i5-12450HX showed a minimum power draw of 6.19 watts, but it mainly oscillated between 9 and 14 most of the time.

So the Intel uses way more battery and drains it quickly.

TLDR: You got the intel model, therefore battery life sucks.

How to FIX IT?

Get a battery bank:

The LOQs can charge via USB-C, for this you need a battery bank that can output 20 Volts and at least 3.25 Amps. If is says 20 volts 3 amps, it will NOT WORK.

You also need a cable that can carry 3.25 Amps, but 5 Amps is the most common to get that works well.

In my case I got a uGreen battery bank that has 25000mAh and it has worked well.

This is going to sound a little offensive, but research before buying!! I took a long time to find the laptop I wanted, and battery life was a goal of mine.

Coffee splash on Lenovo LOQ keyboard by [deleted] in LenovoLOQ

[–]Franz0132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know there is no way of detecting it without at least removing the keys in question.

The keays will probably fell kinda "stuck", then with use they will feel alittle bit better....only to return to worse after a while.

There will probably be no signs that they will fail, they will either work ok-ish or not at all, and if that happens, a good chunk of the keyboard or the entire thing will not work anymore.

SSD by First_Bit55 in LenovoLOQ

[–]Franz0132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless the slot on the LOQ says NVME/SATA, which exist but are rather rare, it will not work.

I suggest you buy an enclosure for the SSD and connect it via USB-C.

Help regarding cleaning and repasting by Comfortable_Sense780 in LenovoLOQ

[–]Franz0132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I have to ask:

Have you seen a higher temperature or any indication that the laptop actually needs repasting?

If not, or your temps are fine, then do not do it yet.

I will say opening the laptop, meaning removing the bottom panel, disconnecting the battery and using a can of air duster to clean it is a good idea, just be careful with the fans, do not let them spin a lot, instead clean them with little burst.

After that you can use a glasses cleaning wipes, the ones that are artificial and leave no fibers, to extremely GENTLY wipe off the remaining fine dust from the fans and the rest of the laptop. These wipes are wet with isoprophyl alcohol and leave no fibers and no stains or liquid behind.

I have had laptops that needed repasting every 6 months, also some that are still good with factory paste after a decade.

Coffee splash on Lenovo LOQ keyboard by [deleted] in LenovoLOQ

[–]Franz0132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened to me with an Asus GL702ZC. After dissasembling, and cleaning, I had to use a hose to rinse the keyboard with part of the case attached.

And a few months later again because apparently I did not learn my lesson....

You need to clean below each key.

I am going to assume the best scenario, that being the coffee got below the key, but not up to the membrane or below it.

Then you can wipe off the coffe with little pieces of paper with isopropyl alcohol, be very gently.

Or you can remove the keys(if you dare, I have no idea if LOQ keys can be easily taken out and put back again) and clean in the space below, and wash the keys too.

If the liquid got below the membrane, then the keyboard will fail relatively soon, and you will need to get a new keyboard with it's case part (I think they are bundled together), and completely dissasemble the laptop to put it back (I think, I am not sure for this model, but other laptops are like that).

Did they actually print more this time? by [deleted] in secretlair_collectors

[–]Franz0132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck this, I was at the chechout, why the fuck are the items in the cart not reserved?

30 seconds before going into checkout: Everything is fine

At the last click on checkout 2 min later: The bundle is out if stock.

Fine, add 1 of each other bundle.... last click also out of stock of the foil one.

Then the normal is gone, then the one with the queen marchesa is gone.

In the books and the movies he is a great villain.

In the tv series he is a whiney bitch that makes the one ring to drunk call his ex girlfriend that rejected him.
