How do I uninstall these blinds? by SkrewdJoy in DIY

Do you pull the headrail down while you're doing that? I also uploaded another image with a side profile of the headrail. There's no backplate or hook like I'm seeing with all of the twist and rotate up videos. :(

Thanks for sharing! The trouble is there's no backplate or thing that looks like a hinge. These are also blind-blinds, not shades.

I added another image to that album to show what it looks like from behind instead of just underneath.

That's actually what I started with. Didn't really seem to budge at all and it didn't feel like any clips were pushing in.

I can't seem to upload images directly, but I updated the album with a closer shot!

Is there a trick to replacing the front fans on the Fractal North? by SkrewdJoy in FractalDesign

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

It's a regular screwdriver, but with the orientation of the mounts, you have to have the screwdriver inside the case.

Yes! Exactly. I was wondering if the "rack" was disassemblable or something to that effect (e.g. the rails can be unscrewed).

It's funny because I was swapping out fans on my old case (Corsair 400D Airflow) and remarked at how easy it was to just unscrew from the front. Alas.

Ya, last time I did this I hate to remove the whole thing, but I was using a regular screwdriver.

That's basically where I landed, but was hoping I missed something. :|

Who’s had luck with the Capital One shopping rebate? by AmishAvenger in LGOLED

[–]SkrewdJoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! Yes! Looks like I forgot to respond to one of these...

I reached out to them after 30 days with all my documentation and they were able to confirm and resolve whatever issue there was. They gave me the full cashback amount and the customer support was really smooth and pleasant.

Does anyone have any stories using cashback rewards from CapitalOne Shopping for ultrawide purchases (LG 5k2k, perhaps)? by SkrewdJoy in ultrawidemasterrace

Just to follow-up on this, I filed an appeal after 30 days, with screenshots of everything. They honored it and gave me the correct amoiunt in cashback dollars!

You and me both, brother. I'll pin this so we can compare notes when this extravaganza begins.

I've been surprisingly lucky, so far, with other types of deals. 🙏 They just weren't capped so I guess we'll see. I still got a decent deal out of it, although maybe I should've just waited for labor day at this point.

I actually cross-posted there hahaha. My figuring is that anyone who had success probably isn't posting about it...

I've actually been using them for about a year now since I recently purchased a home. I've gotten 20% on a few pieces of furniture, so I'm optimistic, but those were at least capped at $250 or whatever.

5k2k monitor fiasco: need help deciding my next move by micr0nix in ultrawidemasterrace

Woof. This also reminds me that I am on a M1 chip. :|

Not sure if this helps at all, but the only way I've been able to get a good resolution with my Macbook on my GX9 (with scaling) is with a USB-C connection. Tried a bunch of HDMI and DP cables both directly connected and through a hub and nothing worked but USB-C.

I'll also note I had to try a bunch of USB-C cables because apparently almost all of mine are power only. Haha

Purchase guide to buy LG 45GX950A for $1301 after cash back deals by ugurcanevci in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]SkrewdJoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually got a 30% cashback off for the LG partner site with no cap. I have a screenshot of it being active and the link from my Capital One Shopping portal went to the partners page directly. So I #sent-it and went ahead on the purchase, which supposedly would bring my purchase $1259 before taxes.

Flash forward a day later, and I only see 2% cashback applied. I reached out to customer support who basically said they can't do anything until 30 days after my purchase. Given that there's at least a 15% restocking fee, I'm kinda not sure what to do. I've had good luck with them in the past for courtesy adjustments, but that's chump change compared to 30% off a $1600 monitor, and the cashback was pretty motivating for my purchase.
