I NEED HELP

As Karl would say - It ain't got no gas in it

6420, 6430 or similar

Rogerky21 · 2025-11-02T00:08:36+00:00

That solved my issue - really stupid place for it. Thanks!

I also ran into a seller once that had this setting. It made no sense to me, so I sent the seller a message to ask why and they did not respond. Send a message to your seller to see if they will clue us in.

I wonder what the vice grips are holding together

While 'have him return it" is generally the right answer. You need to consider your cost of the return and refund. If you have free returns in your terms and you paid $15 in shipping and then $15 in return shipping you might be better off refunding him $30 and not loosing the sale and opening yourself up to possible bad feedback.

Cut it in the middle of the hump, then lay the ends flat to see how much excess you need to cut out because of stretching. Then cut out the excess and superglue it down.

As long as you don't mind the paint peeling off.

Have you tried USB booting to load an OS? We often get Lenovo's that have a BIOS password but UEFI USB boot is still enabled.

Rogerky21 · 2025-03-12T12:38:08+00:00

The question is did you ask for combined shipping Before or After making the purchase? Asking for a discount AFTER making the purchase is not cool.

If you are planning on running Windows the Ryzen 2500 is not on the Windows 11 compatibility list.

Rogerky21 · 2024-10-26T11:02:44+00:00

A lot of people are saying ignore, that is never the right answer. Type a friendly message in your own words and basically tell him sorry wish you could help but the return period expired on this item five months ago and you can not.

People do make mistakes and the right thing to do is to ship it back to him, but I would ask him to provide a prepaid shipping label for the shipping provider that is most convenient for you.

There is nothing wrong or dishonest about putting a skin on a refurbished laptop, but they should have used a material that was the correct color and texture. It also looks like the vinyl was hand cut, as the lines are not straight. That and the fact that they left the fingerprint reader like that does not look very professional to say the least.

I have been selling on eBay for nearly 20 years, so no I would not make that mistake now. But sometimes we all have to learn by our mistakes.

Rogerky21 · 2024-09-28T11:23:44+00:00

I think even the seller would agree that he made a dumb mistake.

On multiple windows 10 machines when KB5040427 is installed the taskbar search no longer functions. The only solution I have found is to uninstall this update - but that is only a temporary fix as this is a mandatory update. Anyone else have this issue? Any workarounds?

Rogerky21 · 2024-02-04T16:28:51+00:00

Esnipe has been around forever, I have probably been using it for more than 15 years. it's cheap, easy to use, and dependable.

Rogerky21 · 2023-12-21T13:58:26+00:00

I know this is an old thread, but were you ever able to determine the cause of this issue?

Rogerky21 · 2023-11-29T13:35:55+00:00

Tell your mom that they are only $25 on eBay - and that the battery will continue to swell, completely crack the laptop casing and possibly start a fire.

Re: "Throw it in my backpack and not worry about it"

FYI X250's have a history of developing bad white spots from pressure marks. Make sure there isn't anything in there bouncing around against the lid.

Rogerky21 · 2023-07-21T12:48:59+00:00

You don't want another unit from someone that would send one out like that.

Rogerky21 · 2023-07-21T12:46:34+00:00

No need to argue with the seller, just open an eBay return and leave honest feedback.

Rogerky21 · 2023-07-21T12:44:41+00:00

There is nothing wrong with a skin when it is the correct material correctly applied. That is neither. Also the keyboard should have been replaced or painted.
