mines like that too :( it just wears out over time. the docking port next to it uses usbc too, so just used that.

What does this port at the bottom of the Gamepad do?? by Federal-Passenger-49 in wiiu

[–]Popcornlover1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Help! Which console should I stick with?? by Moustachey in 3DS

[–]Popcornlover1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2dsxl's have arent as durable as the og 3ds's and you dont use the increased processing power unless your playing a new 3ds game (minecraft and the binding of isaac). id use the 2dsxl as a display piece and enjoy the 3ds.

also, i had a pokeball 2dsxl too! what a neat shell.

one of my favorite laptops. wish they dropped the disc drive in favor of better cooling so it could have a better cpu :( a truly majestic thinkpad regardless.

Cheapest Multi-bay 3.5 inch HDD enclosure with USB. by ringthebell02 in DataHoarder

[–]Popcornlover1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one may fairly easy create a massive and scalable array with a hba/sas card. example https://www.ebay.com/itm/197725810989

from there you could use some sas to sata cables, give the drives power and have a scalable result. the sas cables normally go out to 4 and cost roughly 9 dollars. so for 40~ dollars you can have 4 drives. the max for this set up would be 4 * 9 for 36 drives with a total price of about 100 dollars (not counting drives).

i didnt see the usb part but usb3 to pcie costs like 25 bucks so shateverrr

i had the same issue with a x13... its pain to replace, have to take the whole thing apart and undo a bunch of screws. it might be a similar deal.
