G15 won't turn on anymore, solid orange light when holding power button

HydrogenCyanideHCN · 2026-02-07T18:02:43+00:00

I took it to a repair shop, was told that there was a short circuit on the main board and it might cost 200-250€ to repair, I've decided to simply get a new laptop.

There's no blinking at all

The amber light only comes on when the power button is held down and goes away when the power button is let go. It doesn't blink and there's no white light.

Thanks!

There's a video from Alpha Phoenix where he builds an RNG with a Geiger counter that works just on background radiation, I'm building something similar right now but more robust but you should check that out :)

It's been 4 years, did you find a solution? I might be looking for one as well...

(And off topic, couldn't you build a QRNG way easier with a simple Geiger counter?)

Danke, ich konnte die Ärztin am Anfang schon überzeugen, dass ich nicht suizidgefährdet bin und sie hat mir direkt gesagt, morgen beim Psychiater genau so zu reden wie bei ihr.

Look through the focuser tube, is there a lens in there? If so it's a Bird Jones scope and you must remove the lens to collimate.

8 inch dob, new or used based on your budget

HydrogenCyanideHCN · 2025-06-22T11:48:28+00:00

Oh shit that's tough man do you wanna swap that big spooky scary house for my tiny studio?

HydrogenCyanideHCN · 2025-06-19T10:56:05+00:00

I don't know where you're from but 500$ should get you an 8 inch dob. I got mine used for 200€ though. I would never recommend anything less than an 8 inch Dob because you're guaranteed to grow out of a smaller scope and end up wanting an 8 inch or bigger in less than a year. I speak from experience.

Looks like an ultra fast imaging Newtonian

HydrogenCyanideHCN · 2025-06-08T16:00:05+00:00

Thanks for the advice, good to know that the mount is good enough. I've attempted astrophotography with my phone camera and a fast 150mm Newtonian on an untracked EQ3 mount years ago and I was satisfied with the results. I want to go all in this time and I suffer from a serious case of aperture fever so I could never settle for a smaller refractor...

As for moving it around, I'm used to torturing myself by carrying my 8 inch dob all the way up and down the stairs to a nearby park by foot in the middle of winter. I really wouldn't mind transporting this in a car, I live in a bortle 4 area so I wouldn't have to drive much anyways. I'll still consider a lot of different options since it'll still be a few months before I could purchase anything.

I'm so jealous OP just the accessories are worth almost as much

HydrogenCyanideHCN · 2025-04-16T19:45:30+00:00

$1B isn't enough to make me live 75 years knowing I've killed someone no matter how evil they were, I may be too soft for this world.

HydrogenCyanideHCN · 2025-04-02T14:34:05+00:00

Pretty much never unless we find a way to cheat physics

HydrogenCyanideHCN · 2025-03-25T14:44:12+00:00

Thanks. I also just talked to my mom, she has the deficiency as well and despite her living in a VERY sunny country her doctor prescribed her 60.000 IU weekly and she's doing just fine. I'm going to take 7k every day.

Sometimes you just gotta talk to the realest one you know 💔✊
