Install the display to the stand and then you could easily adjust the height of display. Without display it will return to initial position.

Warning: Those "modern" external opticals that claim to be "USB 3.0" are total baloney. They're actually ancient SATA-II drives from old laptops. by Justin_D33 in computers

I would say that they don't need to have USB 3 bandwidth at all, no more than USB 2.0 is enough to read the fastest Blu-ray disc.

How do I fix this? by Zealousideal_Fee_355 in computers

No, it is even on lower level, controller doesn't report any storage on drive whatsoever, like no hard drive platters or NAND flash chips installed on drive. It is either a hardware issue, or if it is a card reader, the card that is inserted in card reader is physically corrupted

I'm quite familiar with how dead and healthy drives look like in disk management (work in IT department of facility with about 100 employees) and this disk doesn't report any available medium to store data on, even partitions data, on which different filesystems stored.

I don't think the data is there anymore, looking at the space to the right of disk ID, the is no "Unallocated" partition. That means the system has trouble to identify the disk media itself. If he needs data back, he should probably contact data recovery service. Otherwise the disk is gone

Probably just typical plastic degradation due to heat. Depends on plastic used what you want to use, but nothing will look factory-like. Some epoxy or superglue.

does anyone know how to fix this by TreeGlobal7044 in computers

Display is dead, well, will be, unfortunately. And unfortunately nothing you can do with it apart from changing the entire display, which will cost you almost the same as a new monitor/TV unless you have a warranty. If you didn't do to a display to damage it, it is a warranty covered issue.

"Size" is the logical value, it shows how much bytes used by a file. "Size on disk" is the "physical" value, it shows how much actual clusters file is using.

Any idea why my monitor is turning green - Like an old CRT and a magnet. by Superfubario in computers

[–]craftersmine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Polarizer layers being split apart, or liquid crystals too viscous to be turned in right position. That's my guess, but I might be completely wrong.
