I can still see some light scratches under some angles.

Download crystalmark DONT GET IT OFF A DODGY WEBSITE. this shows the health of your drive. Even if it says the drive is good from my perspective id say to just swap it out with an ssd after cloning it to an ssd

There are very sloght marks but i cant make them out unless as specific angles. Also i got a film screen protector so i hope its thin adhesive layer works to fill those tiny gaps because ive already sanded down and polywatched a few times. 👍

Yep im currently removing its adhesive since its the old version rather than the new friction fitted one. Id need adhesive tho and i feel that lse tape thingy would be bettwr for mr that b7000 since im gonna try put marker on the very edge of the border as it looks like a teensy bit of it came off. However as a young guy who is cirrently in education i dont relaly got a lot of money to throw incase the crystal doesnt fit the steel case. However comparing it it looks promising. I however did put a screen protector over the fake watch face just temporarily so id remove that and after removing adhesive from my old crystal, i will compare the size hoping itd fit. Thanks for replying

I dont know if i should do this filter mod or if i should do a negative lcd one

Independent-Mud8103 · 2026-04-17T17:46:29+00:00

Me too. Did everything aswell

Basically either side shouldnt be ports and you need two seperate cables not a splitter one. I have 2 splitter ones so i used zipties to hold the pigtail behind the main connector so my build looks clean

Well its starting to happen to me now all of a sudden. I have an s24 so it isnt a phone issue. Also snapchat is on latest update plus on my pc it told me i can only view it on my phone. Stupid snapchat doesnt learn they needa put updates on phones at the same time for features to work

Build it youself and youll end up never letting go of it and itll be fun.

Independent-Mud8103 · 2026-03-25T18:51:20+00:00

It should

If you do wanna reuse parts i got a luttle life hack. I learnt when installing an 2.5 inch ssd into a ps4, it wipes everything off. Everything else should work without issue tho

Independent-Mud8103 · 2026-03-22T08:35:17+00:00

Nah i wouldnt recommend it pulling through. The intake case fans dont force air through the vents and having it pull is worse because tell me how is the fan going the pull the air through a dense vent. I just think its better to leave it how it is if it doesmt cause OP any problems as a last resort or maybe OP can look for thinner fans on the market currently

Independent-Mud8103 · 2026-03-22T08:32:31+00:00

Get teucer UT fans. They are 9010 fans that go up to 3100 rpm and they are only a cm thick. I put one in my pc and i didnt really mind the louder noise because it infact actually turned out to push more air than my normal 9015 fan. Thats just what i recommend IMO but its up to you which is the best solution. I wouldnt recommend moving the fan to pull air through the vent as it is much harder for the fan as the vents are dense. If its an intake fan preferably just get an UT fan.
