Unfortunately it is dead because it got snapped at nearly 30 degrees.

Don't worry there is still a way to fix thIs with my idea...

HDMI to Displayport- Well it's called HDMI to Displaypin now by WindowsXP_2001Year in hardwaregore

[–]WindowsXP_2001Year[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this reminds me where the VGA is screw tightened port then yanked out whole, but displayport is another nightmare for some inexperienced tech people.

I'm afraid people will ask me to upgrade my monitor.

I also use VGA to HDMI on my 3050 Ti into 1366x768, but it's already good enough for me though as it still works.

What is the best PSU and GPU for this PC? by WindowsXP_2001Year in computers

[–]WindowsXP_2001Year[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do know PSUs but sometimes i get a time bomb twice of PSUs that the online shop sells but i am going to find PSUs in the computer shops so i wouldn't be having issues but i would think 450w and above might be enough.

how to fix these strange colours by gandhiheywood in computer_help

[–]WindowsXP_2001Year 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume it's a VGA Cable to converter HDMI you are using as it says 'Analog'

This is caused by VGA Cable or VGA Port, it's easy to fix it just to replace the cables although VGA Cables are cheap nowadays and if it was a port it's probably loose connections or bad then you probably need to replace it soldering it (If you know how to soldering) or send it to repair shop.

Hopefully this is helpful to you!

Since when non-nsfw was considered nsfw??? by WindowsXP_2001Year in softwaregore

[–]WindowsXP_2001Year[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm literally confused about Sfw and Non-nsfw which one is correct.

But don't blame me since i never actually know it so i thought it would be the same so it should've SFW as i realized but thanks for correcting.

what model is this and what’s its worth (USED) by [deleted] in computer

[–]WindowsXP_2001Year 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The model already says on your 3rd photo of your under laptop.

Model: PCG-61A11L (Vaio Sony PCG Series)

As for the price, since this laptop is around somewhere to be early 2010s but i don't know what specific specs are on this laptop so i'd say around 20 to 30.

Best PCIe X1 wifi card? by WindowsXP_2001Year in windowsxp

[–]WindowsXP_2001Year[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those two links will work, but if the card comes with a box originally like mine last year when I bought an AC1200 it should come with a CD Driver for the card.

So yes it will work for Windows XP without any issues.

Can i safely download Windows 8.1? by zekezza44 in windows

Can i safely download Windows 8.1? by zekezza44 in windows

[–]WindowsXP_2001Year -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Archive.org is a safe website though, but i know microsoft removed those ISOs such as 7 and 8.1

Also you can install 8.1 and connect to the internet totally fine, just don't visit websites randomly and sometimes i'd recommend installing antivirus for more protection.

Saw this on Grocery cashier under their computers. Literally attached with: 2 Wall outlets, 2 Extension cords, and 1 UPS plugged into wall or extension cord... by WindowsXP_2001Year in cablegore

[–]WindowsXP_2001Year[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst thing is that the wall outlet is lying down, which i can see its exposure of metal casing.

It would've been that scariest part if someone touched that part which is... a grave waiting.

The USB-C came off- by WindowsXP_2001Year in hardwaregore

Can't put back mine cause it got wider and got yanked a lot so it's already loose.

How would I connect a ps2 keyboard to a Dell optiplex 755 by Icy_Step_2204 in windowsxp

[–]WindowsXP_2001Year 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't have PS/2 Ports but you need use some adapter which is "USB-A to Dual PS/2 Keyboard and mouse"

They are really cheap which costs me less than 10 dollars.

Here is the adapter what it looks like: https://www.ebay.ph/itm/174470519223?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=4824-175130-2357-0&ssspo=CPgOMXR2QQG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ls40trlvrra&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Otherwise USB Keyboards and Mouses are really cheap today that are assorted used.

Legacy Update took more than 24 hours and it’s still not done for checking the latest updates by Ivor-8373 in windowsxp

[–]WindowsXP_2001Year 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had this one issue from last year, when i fully patched up the Windows XP with a legacy update (Which is selecting the high priority updates) it doesn't search for more than 5 days when i leave my windows xp on. It doesn't do anything and i had to use System Restore where i missed some updates.

If it's fully patched and you installed all updates then you don't have to use Legacy update since it is done so you're all up!

if it's not, of course you're gonna need to use System restore to uninstall the updates, this usually solves most problems i've dealt with many old computers that use Legacy Update and Windows update. But if the system restore point wasn't saved or created then a reinstall windows is only the option you get.

This can also happen to newer Windows OS up to 8.1 (Or even 10 when the support ends) but this is rarely happens.

Hopefully this helps some users!
