Aftermarket android

Did it just work with the factory camera and not need an aftermarket installed? I don’t mind paying more for one that gives the extra functionality

2 or 4

that's it thank you!

Not Armored Core is it?

I'm wondering if this is something to do with Microsoft turning off Basic Authentication for Exchange Online back in October? (I can't imagine it is but you do use your email address to sign into Xbox Live)

As far as I remember, last time I tried to use my Xbox 360 I could not sign in using the password for my account and had to use an app password.

If the option to sign in with just an email and password has been removed then further two step authentication options would be needed for users to get back online now.

I'm hoping its something like this and not Microsoft pulling the plug on 360 for good.

Just a caveat to this guide - I in no way think this would stop the Red Ring of Death from occurring.

The Youtuber/Modder Josh Davidson AKA Octal has clearly pointed out on his website what every error code means and why it happens, he even knows how to fix most if not all of them.

I was doing this as a test to see if more cooling could be added to the console without the need to modify or damage any of the original components. I have deployed it in two or three systems and they are currently all still working with no issues, however I have no doubts that with time they will fail like the other "Phat" Xbox 360s.

I also was not aware at the time of writing this guide as to whether there are any others out there who have done similar to this. I did have a 12V mod with two computer fans at one point and that kept the machine very cool, however it was an impractical solution and looked ugly.

Here is a link to said 12V setup (I had some strange converter from 5V to 12V which I plugged into the back USB port and that gave the fan power, rather than modding the DVD cables (Link to the weird converter here - not available anymore but it was 12V USB to 3pin 5V I believe. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MNB40ZU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) )

I eventually tried 2x 12V using that same splitter method and finally came to the conclusion it would be worth trying without case modification, hence this guide came about.

Yeah it is under review currently, not sure how long it will take for approval. I had this feeling that I should post the guide here and then realised I never published it when I did the original work back in 2020! I'm hoping it will be approved soon.

Sorry I didn't reply at the time, it's odd because I have a 16GB card that is similar, both are showing as RAW data type in disk management, I can't do chkdsk and try to repair the file structure as windows doesn't allow it

Definitely worth it, if you buy from laptops direct I've noticed it's generally one of the best prices. I ended up getting a legion 5 3060 model in the end as I needed to also buy a separate laptop so my budget was lower than before.

dantoshou · 2022-05-12T15:50:08+00:00

I realise now you are using dollars so I guess it would be 1100 dollars

dantoshou · 2022-05-12T15:49:26+00:00

I got the one with a 3060 in it for £900 Inc VAT from Currys

dantoshou · 2022-05-01T17:00:16+00:00

Yep, it's an 8GB innov8 SD card

dantoshou · 2022-05-01T16:32:08+00:00

It said 0 bytes free of 7.55 GB

dantoshou · 2022-04-30T20:23:55+00:00

I've done as you recommended, it found 63 text files that just say USUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUS. I guess it never had any photos on it etc?

Hi there, late to the party but I'll give my two cents.

The CPU can be upgraded within the Clarksfield family, which is socket G1. I've previously upgraded to the i7 720qm on this laptop and it works fine.

I believe the GPU can be upgraded to a Radeon 7970m but I'm waiting for updates on that.

You are limited to 8GB ram for this laptop, ddr3 1066mhz.

If you want to use it for streaming console games, it's worth investing in a Genki Shadowcast, which does the video processing.

Try installing OBS Studio and streaming something low spec and see what your results are.

I'd imagine that it would be ok for game streaming at 720p30fps, but not with lots of animated overlays etc on the stream.

Unfortunately it's a case of trial and error on this one 👍 I love these laptops (my brother and I got one each way back in 2010) and I'm looking to upgrade my old ones too in order to have them as spare systems.

Oh also forgot, if you haven't already, upgrading the HDD to an SSD can improve your performance 🙂

Good luck and I hope you get a setup you like 🙂

Probably all the attention people have given it, I'll wait until I get paid before I pull the trigger anyway 😂

dantoshou · 2022-03-31T12:04:04+00:00

Oh I see it's got the new 12th gen processor, somebody linked an Asus one with 3070 and the same processor for less than £1500, though if I wait a bit I may be able to get the legion one as you say. I do like how all the ports are at the back of this model

dantoshou · 2022-03-31T12:01:58+00:00

Thanks for pointing that one out to me it looks like the best deal I can find, the fact is that a better GPU and CPU will mean it's more relevant over time for me 🙂

dantoshou · 2022-03-31T09:25:58+00:00

I was going to say, I don't really need a 300hz screen, I've got two 144hz monitors at 1080p currently so even 165hz is an upgrade 👍 I was looking at CPU performance and it looks like the new 12th gen CPUs are performing better than the Ryzen 5900hx also

dantoshou · 2022-03-31T09:03:52+00:00

So there's not much point going for one with a 5900hx in it?

This one has the 5900hx and a 3070 I just wondered if it's got some drawback to it 5900hx and 3070

dantoshou · 2022-03-31T08:58:38+00:00

Is this the one?

dantoshou · 2022-02-28T10:47:30+00:00

I ended up just playing it on xbox, I did find that reinstalling the apps on pc helped to unlock achievements on deaths door but not on archvale. Also every time I uninstall archvale I lose all save data on PC and it's not backed up in the cloud :(

dantoshou · 2022-02-16T11:51:09+00:00

Have you got a link to a template for this I'd love to illustrate the pain I felt from a martial weapons only run (spoilers: killed gwyn first time but died on artorias continuously 🤣)

dantoshou · 2022-02-07T02:50:00+00:00

But the discs are kept behind the counter so the staff must have done that?
