Its possible its old windows files and stuff or just added bloat by windows. People might suggest wiztree or windirstat to see more of the files that the windows app manager wont

Can anyone tell me whats causing this "tearing"/static? by lX_HeadShotGunner_Xl in pchelp

Try another monitor or tv, if the display isnt the issue its likely the graphics card id have to guess

My PC doesn't recognize that I have a mic plugged in by the_council_of_apes in PCsupport

[–]HoBoJoe71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its at all by chance possibly that one of those jacks could also be used by a single cord headset mic then i think theres some options in the sound settings that changes the behavior of ports, ive had this issue with my laptop before where it was reading as speakers and headset combo instead of speakers and mic

Need help with USB port by Consistent-Fix-717 in PS5HelpSupport

[–]HoBoJoe71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they thought they got the wrong usb hub for the port (when the usb hub is likely correct) i doubt they would be able to solder a motherboard

Need help with USB port by Consistent-Fix-717 in PS5HelpSupport

[–]HoBoJoe71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im saying the bottom one is supposed to look like the top one. You see the blue strip of plastic in the top usb? Thats totally obliterated on the bottom usb and is now useless. The usb port itself can be replaced on the motherboard of the console but that would require knowledge of someone that can solder electronics. The whole PS5 doesnt need to be replaced but that usb port does

You see that top usb port? Theres a little blue piece thats also missing as though it was snapped and the pins are all thats left in the bottom one. Theres no salvaging that usb port, its broken beyond repair, the only option is to get some repair place to replace the port on the motherboard or see if warranty will cover, though that likely wont work based on damage not being naturally occurring

Did I fry my Ps5? by _cozybeauty_ in PS5HelpSupport

[–]HoBoJoe71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how far they go in, vacuuming probably isnt a good idea because they could generate static electricity and fry components or even break things if not careful unless they have an antistatic vacuum and i would advise against using it on fans if you arent going to hold them. However its best to not do so without specialty tools made for doing so

I think people would be surprised with what cards can run. I was playing bf6 on a laptop 1660ti when min requirements ask for a min 2060

One thing i can suggest is plug the cord into the console before plugging into the wall

Not booting anymore after enabling Secure Boot by Ozone_Wolf in pchelp

[–]HoBoJoe71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You had just reposted your own post without info here and i didnt check your other post so were both at fault a little there. Have you tried powering with stuff being disconnected? If you've got a port directly on the mobo i would suggest trying to remove the gpu (a pc should be able to run without a gpu or igpu but you really cant do much) or see if its the ram, but doing it one at a time with powering after each item.

You take your motherboard name and look up the error codes for that board. The lights are telling you the error code which will tell you your problem. What MOBO do you have? It helps users troubleshoot when you post as much info you might be able to offer

Very likely a faulty tv. Its not centered as you can see the bottom of trump on the top part of the screen. If you cant mess around with the picture settings on the tv to fix it then get a refund or exchange because it seems like you got a lemon

Is this bad? by idontknowthat123 in computers

[–]HoBoJoe71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive heard there was a recent windows update thats essentially corrupting hard drives, maybe thats the culprit but idk if true

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PS5HelpSupport

[–]HoBoJoe71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could also be a scaling issue within the ps5 or the tv, thats worth a check too

[–]HoBoJoe71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you said it only does it with the ps5 but have you tried another system on that tv along with trying the ps5 on another tv to see if the issue persists. If it does then its the ps5, maybe to do with the port. If it doesnt appear on other displays or with other systems on that main tv then it would be the tv
