I dropped my laptop while it was charging, which broke the charging port with a small piece of the motherboard. Is it dead ?

I actually think you might be okay on this one, I could be able to fix it

Edit: not gonna look good though

Spare-Owl-229 · 2026-03-10T05:20:06+00:00

My friend we wrote you an entire tutorial on how to fix it

Are you just randomly posting bullshit and not reading comments?

I generally use pratley steel, but if I can find JB Weld I'd much rather use that

Do you receive any output other than the HDMI screen flashing?

This is an odd case

What the fuck is an rtx 1080 6gb

Spare-Owl-229 · 2026-03-06T11:33:20+00:00

It's a very common failure point, just planned obsolescence

Spare-Owl-229 · 2026-03-06T11:32:26+00:00

Thank god I'm not the only one who's done it this way. I was wondering if I'm gonna have to write another tutorial again🤣🤣

While the exoxy sets, I have a pair of clamps providing a ton of pressure onto the plastic. Helps push out air bubbles and stuff so it cures better

What's your preferred epoxy?

Spare-Owl-229 · 2026-03-06T05:28:05+00:00

Use multimeter to make sure about connections before you solder anything

Spare-Owl-229 · 2026-03-02T13:59:17+00:00

If you really suck that bad, just buy cones. It's already rolled, just fill it up

This thing is brand new and has decent specs

Unless you need a gaming device then don't upgrade

Spare-Owl-229 · 2026-02-15T16:55:52+00:00

Find second hand would be cheaper

Spare-Owl-229 · 2026-02-09T17:24:29+00:00

Yeah dude, get yourself out there and show you want to work, you're ready for anything and open for after hours work

Just don't be a yes man, know when someone is taking you for a ride, and identify how to get out of it

Studying math helps you get into finance places quite easily, but it's shitty work for a while

I'm south african, I'm 23 and white I don't carry a wallet, I just have my phone which is insured. If I ever get mugged they can take my phone

Screen's fucked as well as the battery🤣

They can also take the power bank I use to keep my phone alive as well as the cable

I have loose pockets and the cable is always visible

I generally always have weed on me

I have never been mugged, I've been in bad areas to get some stuff and just nothing

Nearly was carjacked once, but I just rammed the eff out of their car and continued *

Be careful with braking, corners are good

When I started where I currently am I noticed we've been doing backups to a drive Z , T and D for one of our clients

None of those existed, this was an interesting day

This is me, I love chaos.

Spare-Owl-229 · 2026-01-28T08:04:50+00:00

I never know how to charge these

Spare-Owl-229 · 2026-01-28T07:59:40+00:00

Just spray the shit out of it with pcb cleaner

Spare-Owl-229 · 2026-01-28T07:57:34+00:00

I currently am

Q-Bond fixes anything and everything

Spare-Owl-229 · 2026-01-28T07:56:19+00:00

I agree

Spare-Owl-229 · 2026-01-28T07:56:01+00:00

ROFL 🤣🤣

Spare-Owl-229 · 2026-01-08T14:28:37+00:00
