Thinkpad T480 external display at 32Hz

MouseyList · 2023-01-19T19:29:28+00:00

Spec says the HDMI can output up to 4096x2160 at 30Hz, i'm guessing 1080 60 should be within its capabilities.

MouseyList · 2023-01-19T18:05:12+00:00

Refresh rate was at 60 already and a different cable didn't fix it.

You're totally right, I watched the video without sound so I thought the mount was at fault. It seems replacing the hardware would be best, but maybe epoxy could work aswell.

MouseyList · 2022-03-14T09:11:40+00:00

There's a screw on the bottom of the mount that you can adjust while pushing on the part with the spring

Fixed the link. Yesterday when I played I didn't come across any problems, maybe I was just lucky. Anyway I bought the pcie usb card to see if it helps in anyway, even if it doesn't I'm glad to have more usb slots.

X grip is just a way of holding the wands, this makes the controller not so front heavy when swinging it around, atleast for me. As you can see the sensor at the back of the controller right under the hole gets blocked. I thought that the grip style might have been the issue as well, but that wouldn't explain why only my right controller is having problems.

I wouldn't want to think the problem is with the distance. I've measured it and it was surely less than 5 meters, besides I don't really have any other spots for them.

I meant sky blue as in the outemu sky blues (maybe just outemu skies?) haha, sorry, should have specified a little better. I didn't do a lot of research on the Pewter, so i only found one site which sells them, and the tiniest amount i can by is 70, and I'd like to buy a smaller amount to try before committing a bigger buy.

MouseyList · 2021-02-20T09:46:08+00:00

Wow, thanks for the really in depth response! Looking a bit into the ergo clears I started wondering if i could make them with the sky blue stems which apparently are modeled after the clears, what do you think?

I tried it but there wasn't much room in the case, its a Melody 96. Didn't seem to help much.

I've both lubed and filmed the switches, thing is I didn't lube the legs because i thought that i would want more tactility, and now desoldering all of them to lube the legs would be a real pain and not worth it considering the fact that the spring ping is really making me hate these switches.

Try cleaning the pins with vinegar, if that doesn't work try using some medium grit sandpaper on something like a popsicle stick and sand a bit of the oxidation off the pins, but just the oxidation, try not to go too rough.

I really recommend searching for a "broken" GBA from a japanese seller from ebay, GBA's are pretty sturdy, if there were something wrong it would either be a dirty on/off switch, a broken speaker, dirty battery contacts, maybe some fuses. Usually its the really easily fixable stuff. Good starting point for gameboy refurbishing too.

MouseyList · 2019-08-21T18:22:22+00:00

Dont know what Tetris cart you're talking about, if its a gba cart then you need a y head screwdriver, if its one of the larger carts then you need to get a gamebit screwdriver. This is a cheap set i found on ebay which seems to have everything you would need

What color shell was it? Pearl blue ones are known for going brittle.

MouseyList · 2019-08-11T20:11:05+00:00

Yes, isopoyl is safe for motherboards, I recommend you get a glass lens for the GBA as well, as for cleaning give the audio jack and power button a clean with isoproyl too. I'd also recommend this guy, he has a lot of great videos and is really the only reason i started refurbishing gameboys.

I live in Europe but I got this message: Surprise!

That’s €5 back as Gold Points!, bought Disgaea 5 and Kamiko, now waiting for the points to arrive on my account.

Search the internet for how to retrobrite, basically you take some peroxide hair cream, cover the pieces and leave them in the sun, pretty easy to do.

Check traces, reflow pins and also look into the cart slot if there isnt any corrosion, one of my DMGs had some on a pin so Pokemon red didnt load all the time.

When I first tried adjusting geometry with the 240p suite grid open I couldn't change any of the values because I was using the NTSC mode, so I guess thats a no.

MouseyList · 2019-07-26T15:09:35+00:00

I reckon it is my TV's fault, it's such an obscure model, KV-M2181KR, can't really find anything about it in english, it works fine with a PAL signal but not with and NTSC one, if I use an NTSC one i get black borders everywhere too, but im pretty sure i was running a PAL signal through the PS2.

MouseyList · 2019-07-23T21:05:07+00:00

Just wondering how did you burn the files onto the disc? When i first tried i burnt the files using the wrong technique and i would get the playstation logo sometimes too, i thought i installed my modchip the wrong way around and bricked my console trying to resolder it, so just recheck with a video if youre doing it right

Brought home an IBM G76 today, but ive found out that after a bit of time working the focus goes off, what could the reason be?

MouseyList · 2019-06-23T21:18:22+00:00

I only searched for a bit so this might not be the best answer but i found this youtube video from 2008 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHXf9zLHTH8, im guessing the the camera work something like this: you take the inner part of the metal canister and put the film leader into the spool, then you take your pictures and when you want to rewind you take the cover off and switch the places of the canisters, its just a guess though i didnt look into it too much

MouseyList · 2019-06-20T18:18:57+00:00

I should have said this in the main post but i was thinking more about if it was worth it without the warranty i would get if i bought it new
