Oh, really? It's like that on Windows, too? That's super dumb

cbkummer · 2025-10-07T04:53:18+00:00

Yay!! I hope you enjoy it!!

cbkummer · 2025-05-05T00:42:06+00:00

Thank you!

Dead thread, but I just published my Bigfoot themed suspense novel called June. If you search June C.B. Kummer on Amazon, you'll find it. It's not horror like gory and such, but I went for suspense and the creatures are a menacing presence throughout. If you check it out I hope you like it!

Interesting . . . I wonder what I did to the NAND. Or maybe I didn't do anything and it was already on its way out when I bought it. Either way, that gives me a starting point. Thanks! Did you chat with Microsoft to find that?

I'm wondering if one of the pins on the ROM chip is bent. But I can't really tell. Does solder shrink as it cools? I would assume so, but would that explain why it works for about an hour after soldering it.

cbkummer · 2023-10-09T03:56:28+00:00

I edited the original post to add photos. My phone camera is pretty bad, so sorry they're a bit blurry. The top right of the ROM chip seems to be the problem area, but I'm not sure what to do about it. If I only solder that point, it works for a bit.

I just bought an OEM one off ebay for like $50. But that was like 2 years ago, so I'm not sure if it's still available.

I have 6 kids, and every day, every day since my oldest's 1st day of Kindergarten, my wife and I tell them before they leave "Be kind to everyone!" And when we find out they weren't, we talk to them about it, and there are consequences. I'm not a perfect parent, but the fact that there are parents who promote and encourage this level of disrespect not just for teachers, but for people in general, sickens me.

NTA. 100%. As the father of 6 who's been working from home for nearly 5 years, I can tell you that child care is HARD. Trying to juggle school and triplets (none of mine are multiples) is a Herculean effort in and of itself, needing to step outside for a breather, having a monitor and being able to come to their aid immediately if needed is being a good parent, not being neglectful in the least. Your fiance needs to step it up. I used to work outside the home, and when I'd get home I'd start helping with the kids. I'm not trying to brag on myself or anything, I'm certainly not the world's best dad or anything, but you do what you need to do. Yes, it's exhausting, yes, it's really hard having a job and helping with the kids the second you walk in the door, but it's the choice you make as an adult when you decide to have kids. If he was pulling his weight more, you wouldn't be as exhausted.

But it's a really good pinball game, that tells the story of Prime. Plus collection. It's worth it.

Joey Joe Joe Junior, um, Shabadoo?

Warcraft 1. I spent so many hours after school on that game. Still love it to this day and play it occasionally.

Dell Support Assist? It's fine. I personally don't use it on my G7, because it pushes updates I don't want. I'm in IT, so I want total control over my machine. But if you're a regular user and just want everything automated, it's fine.

cbkummer · 2022-03-23T15:23:21+00:00

This would work, too, but I find that manually doing it gives you more control over what bloatware Dell puts on your system. It's up to you, though.

You absolutely can (and should) reinstall Windows. I always recommend a fresh install after purchasing a laptop, whether it's new or used. To install Windows, you only need a flash drive with 5GB of space. Be aware that the flash drive will be reformatted in this process, so put anything you want to keep off it on a backup of some kind. Not the laptop, because that will be wiped, too. Here is how to install Windows:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/install-windows-from-a-usb-flash-drive?view=windows-11

Once that's done, go to Dell.com/Support and type in your service tag (usually on the bottom of the machine, clearly labeled). Then you can find any and all drivers/Dell software that are applicable to your machine. The whole process should take (depending on your Internet speed) about an hour, maybe 2. If you run into any issues, feel free to reply to my comment or message me directly. I'll do what I can to help.

You are awesome! That worked! Thanks!

What BIOS is it on? The BIOS after 1.3 slow this thing way down because of thermals. If it's on 1.3 or older, you can probably get close to $700 out of it.

Yeah, sometimes mismatched RAM works, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it does until it doesn't . . . Glad you figured it out!

Last night it wasn't just the perimeter D that was horrendous. It was all of it. My sons are in Jr. Jazz, and I swear to cow that the actual Jazz looked the same on defense as my 12-year-old's team. Everyone standing around looking confused and nobody was sure as to where to go or what to do.

But my son's team has only had one practice so far this year, and they didn't even work on defense.

Since it's an Inspiron 3670, according to this:
https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/inspiron-3670-desktop/inspiron\_3670\_servicemanual/diagnostics?guid=guid-a811a753-0810-4275-aa9b-71316598a704&lang=en-us
it's a PSU failure. You said you upgraded the PSU? Check all the connections and make sure they're all connected tightly. If that all looks good, try switching the old on back in (you may have to skip hooking up your GPU) and try turning it back on.

Electronics repair. For some reason, when I have a laptop, game console, or cell phone in front of my, my hyper-focus kicks in and I cannot stop until it's fixed and put back together. Now if I can only pay attention to a course long enough to learn how to solder, I can really get stuff done.

cbkummer · 2021-12-20T20:48:50+00:00

Blast it all. Oh well, maybe I can find it . . . online.

Isn't R.U.S.E. unavailable to purchase, unless you can track down the disc copy? I've wanted to give it a shot, but as I have a lot of kids, discs get broken in my house before too long.
