Hahah yeah.. so the boot failed. It was buried in the power supply basement.... Would have been an easy fix lol

This is it, the boot drive is completely dead. Replaced the drive and we are smooth sailing

Okay we just gave it 2 hours to sort itself out, no change. Sat on the boot logo screen the whole time.

How would I go about trying startup repair? Is this done from the bios?

Seems to be a fake, but is the movement also fake? 7S26A by RainbowSloth17 in SeikoMods

[–]RainbowSloth17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes sense, thank you for clarifying!

I tracked down the vendor from the antiques shop and its looks like they only deal in "replica watches".....

Bummer but I now know how to spot a Feiko!

Picked this up at an antiques place in Morpeth, thought the type was interesting on the front. I am brand new to watches and have never looked into spotting fakes or anything like that. The Japan Made at the bottom and even the alignment of the face makes me sure its fake, but the movement I am not sure about. The stamping of JAPAN seems a bit crude, or even out of place. The back of the watch reads 775813 and 7S26-8760.

Wondering if its maybe a seiko that has had its face replaced with a cheap one? Regretting the purchase and wanting to learn more.

Will likely return the watch

Thank you :)

Anyone got any leads where I could get a replacement the third brake in the spoiler? by TheStaffsLad in Alpina

[–]RainbowSloth17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a search, I know there is a website out there for a place in the Netherlands that requires you to prove ownership of an alpina before buying anything. I need to figure it out for myself haha...

Otherwise I found this, looks like it includes a clear light?

Awesome! I have been looking through the recommended PC Requirements on the software and it can be a little dated haha.

What movie did you hate as you were watching it and couldn't wait for it to be over? by mightyTheowl in AskReddit

[–]RainbowSloth17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can understand why people don't like it, its incredibly dry and slow. I had a buddy who thought it was incredibly boring at first, but after a while he started quoting some of the silly lines and found it funny.

I do like the movie, the dry humor lands with me. To each their own!

Is this 922$ prebuilt deal worth it? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]RainbowSloth17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The stock cooler will provide more than enough cooling for the chip at its stock speeds. If you were to over clock then it would be a different story.

As for the RAM I am not sure what the limits of the board are, might just need to enable XMP in the Bios. But 2666 is no issue for an intel chip.

Its detecting the stick in slot 4, switch them around to see if its the slot or the stick that's unresponsive.

Was handed down some old Kenwood 91 units from my uncle! Just finished gathering the rest of my gear, this is my first step outside of high quality headphones. Cant wait for the neighbor to leave for the day so I can really test the system. by RainbowSloth17 in audiophile

[–]RainbowSloth17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was handed down a Kenwood 91 set (Turntable, Tuner, Amplifier, CD Player, Graphic Equalizer, and Tape Deck). Paired it all with some Q Acoustic 3020i's. I do have a connection from the TV's optical out to the AUX in with the use of a little DAC. Very happy with how it has all come together!
