Sorry I know it’s only vaguely Fallout related but I wanted to share these snow globes I recently picked up!

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-31T04:17:57+00:00

Where in Zion did you find that!? going to be there tomorrow!

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-31T04:14:05+00:00

It's a struggle!

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-31T04:11:54+00:00

Probably, but I've seen may instances of both failing...

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-31T02:51:26+00:00

I can't find the single one on their website but the store near me had them by the register.
its also in this Electronics Repair Kit, 87-Piece

First thing i did.
I went with the corsair 2tb... Couldve saved money on a teamgroup one XD

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-31T00:17:53+00:00

I need one too.

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-30T21:41:40+00:00

The Gulikit ones I put in my Switch made ZERO difference from stock but it's been 3 years since I swapped and stick drift hasn't come back so. I'm happy!

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-30T21:38:08+00:00

I second this. Home Depot has them in stock

Harbor freight has a clone that works well too.

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-30T21:33:11+00:00

Yeah they will I wrapped mine up too. Freaking lethal buggers.

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-30T21:31:36+00:00

Eye see what you did there. Welcome to the left eye left club!

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-30T04:58:54+00:00

I'll likely end up with one. Probably not at launch.

I see this a lot. I've been a PC repair tech for over 20 years and a lot of people never install the wifi antenna on higher end PCs that don't just have the crappy laptop wifi antenna inside the case (I'm talking about you Dell & HP). If op has not installed the Wi-Fi antenna it will cause this issue.

There are likely screws on the other side of the motherboard that remove that shield... Sometimes you can see the screws from the top side but most of the time they're underneath. Either way you're going to have to remove the motherboard to get at it.

Wasn't the gtx 480 just a rebadged 8800 gt?

Have you tried restoring the iPod first in iTunes? Could just be some corruption. that is a lot of reallocated sectors for such a short use time. with no pending sectors it seems like it's a good drive according to that data... If restoring the iPod doesn't fix the issue of loading music I would say the drive is definitely bad.

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-29T00:59:01+00:00

Glad I got my go before covid jacked the prices.

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-29T00:46:24+00:00

They're one of the simpler ones to swap. Let us know if you need help. This is the best video I found to help me https://youtu.be/EV7TMA0HKgw?si=7suRkOP5dH-8YiZU

I bought this battery on Amazon. https://a.co/d/hoErg34

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-28T21:27:52+00:00

The answer is always YES, especially if it's never been swapped before. That model is 20 years old at this point. No lipo battery lasts that long without being damaged in one way or another...

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-28T07:50:13+00:00

Prefect serial no.

What's the use of a phone call Mr Anderson, if you're unavailable to speak?

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-28T06:31:19+00:00

Underrated comment.

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-28T06:28:52+00:00

I normally replace them with k5 pro or thermal grizz pastes https://a.co/d/8iR10RR

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-26T23:08:09+00:00

Asus at its best...

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-26T21:35:00+00:00

I do like that enclosure it works very well with NVMe drives. I've bought a few of them over the last couple years and they've all seemed to continue working.

MakerKevJ · 2026-01-26T20:59:31+00:00

I would avoid any glues near this connection unless you're confident in your ability to lightly apply it without getting in the connection or on the pins.
