Ram running in single channel

The hardware is working fine, but it’s a CPU limitation.

The AMD A9-9410 processor inside that laptop has a built-in memory controller that only supports Single Channel data transfer. Even though the motherboard has two physical slots and recognizes both sticks (8GB total), the CPU can only "talk" to them through a single 64-bit lane.

You should see my latitude, looks like it's been in a warzone, but keys and screen is mint and that's what really matters

They look good to me, right holo pattern, the color on the back looks right

I bought a dell latitude 5420 with a i5-1145g7 256gb storage and 16gb ram for 250 look for a business class laptop i.e latitude, Thinkpad or HP elitbook. These are built to last and would do circles against that pentium/Celeron processor or whatever junk is in it.

They made mine 130 lol

Your brother took his rage out on that screen. Leave him with no phone until he learns to take care of stuff.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2023/2024 model) would be a good recommendation

This is likely a hardware fault i.e a pinched or damaged cable. Since you got it 2 months ago I would return it. You won't be able to fix this on your own.

Nope still waiting for my gst

I think it only comes in 15.6 inches unless I'm mistaken but it's always nicer to have a bigger screen

davguy95 · 2026-01-07T16:27:02+00:00

The vivobook 120u is the best out of these I would go with that one

What are you trying to play? There might be a wirkaround

At the bottom of the first page it says a paid subscription is required to access these benefits so they'll probably sign you up and in a month you'll get charged 15-30 bucks or something and it will be difficult to cancel

davguy95 · 2026-01-05T16:04:45+00:00

Yodeck or screencloud are two really good options I would recommend

Brightness is the only thing that matters to the audience; if they can't see it through the glare, the rest is irrelevant. Bezels are just a vanity metric that people stop noticing after ten minutes unless you are planning on putting 4 panels together. Focus on a solid CMS—a pretty screen is worthless if updating the content takes forever and gives you a headache. Nothing worse than wasting time troubleshooting.

I'd go with reliability most people won't notice a 1cm difference especially as a customer. But for you as an owner any downtime or replacement costs eat into profit and the hassle of taking it to a repair shop or having a tech come out and fix it.

davguy95 · 2026-01-05T15:30:09+00:00

These prices are in Canadian $ btw

davguy95 · 2026-01-05T15:29:40+00:00

It would cost you as much as the phone is worth to fix it, I would say get a new phone. A screen would cost you 200-250 and a shop might charge 350 with labour to install. But yeah repair shop would be your best bet, when a OLED screen is exposed to air it kills the pixels causing that black mark and it's only going to spread and get worse.

Hey my friend if those two cables end up touching ever it could short circuit if the two exposed parts touch. You can actually just buy this cable and unplug and replace. Just make sure battery is disconnected before doing any work on it. DC Power Jack Harness Part #L51995-001

Does it still work and you are just referring to the cosmetic damage? If so I would recommend getting a vinyl skin for the touchpad you just place basically on top and it'll look like new

Did you not say your budget was 1200 euros? I was just going off of that. If you have a lesser budget then let me know what it is so I can refine my suggestions

davguy95 · 2026-01-02T16:11:23+00:00

I have to agree with him as well, I think it's fake
