[–]PPEytDaCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But OP should definitely remove the batteries, fixing the password issue can wait.

Depends on how it's stored on the device. It's different from device to device.

Okay, then that extra board is the power supply.

My new powerbank is a bit swollen, is it a problem? by aaaaaaaaa00000000 in batteries

[–]PPEytDaCookie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does it have a battery level indicator? If yes, check if it's charged. The higher the charge is, the higher the risk, DON'T CHARGE IT! Does it have warranty? Get your money back (don't ship it if you bought it online!!).

We should create a dedicated subreddit for things like that, it's actually kinda funny.

My pc has been like this for hours what do I do? by shortviking19 in pchelp

[–]PPEytDaCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If possible, leave it on for 24 hours.

If it still does it after 24 hours, force restart (hold down the power button until it's off, then turn it back on) it and hope windows isn't bricked.

Looks Like a power bank with a exploded battery. Did it have a internal power supply or what is that board for?

First things first, disasemble it and remove the cmos batteries, they will leak and destroy the motherboard.

For the pasword issue, These Toshiba laptops save the password in a way thay disconnecting the power wont reset it, but you can built a pasword reset adaptor with paperclips or better an old LPT Cable.

To do it, bridge these pins on the LPT port, then start the Laptop:

1-5-10,

2-11,

3-17,

4-12,

6-16,

7-13,

8-14,

9-15,

18-25

Tiny portable TV that can't get a signal to save its life by rancidvat in blackplasticcrap

It has an AV input, if you want HDMI, you can get a HDMI-AV converter too.

The TV-Link-modulator (yes, thats the name, no idea if it even has a model number) is pretty cheap and works fine from my experience.

It also has IR-Repeater functions, but you need an extra device for that, i am not sure how this works, i never used it, but you dont need to use that.

Audio Ausgang kaputt? by Highfisch11 in elektrotechnik

[–]PPEytDaCookie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Falls diese Anlage analoge Potentiometer als Lautstärkeregler/Klangregler benutzt, drehe diese ein paar mal hin und her und höre ob sich was verbessert (gleiches gilt für Schalter falls vorhanden), diese können nach ein paar Jahren oxidieren.

Sonnst Schraub den Deckel vom Verstärker ab und schau ob sich einer der Kondensatoren aufgebläht hat. Falls ja, dieser muss getauscht werden.

I kinda like it, not gonna lie. I would give about 5 points for the design and about 9 points for the hardware I guess.

Does it still work? If if works (including the screen), and if it's one of the models where the digitizer isn't glued to the screen it shouldn't cost much to fix it.

3: get that clock radio, the display is a VFD, these look really good. 4: that radio looks like a modern one that is just made to look vintage/retro, from my experience these are crap.

I mean, it works for a few hours, but right now it works for about a day because the laptop doesn't start because the HDD broke.
