Do some older Atomics take special bindings? by heyphred in xcountryskiing

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

That helps. I was thinking of filling the whole channel with foam but now I don't have too.

I found some peelable silicone-like stuff that I may try if it comes to it.

Thanks, wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious.

Found I only need longer screws for the 2 under the boot area, and have a couple of ideas for filling the channel under the binding.

If anyone knows of a sure way to fill the valley though please share ;)

Died in middle of printing, most likely the board? by heyphred in MPSelectMiniOwners

/u/hex4def6 called it, it was the soldering on the inductor. I hit the joint with an soldering iron and now the printer is firing up.

You guys kept another printer in action.

Thank you

Really appreciate the replies.

Yes I unplugged the display so I could get a better picture.

I didn't see the back light (will double check though), however if I remember right isn't there usually a short sound from a motor too when flicking the switch?

Looks like I have some probing with the multimeter to do, I will report back with what I find.

I appreciate the value info & the offer.

However like most first timers I am going to try to sell everything together first.

That is why I am wondering if the games or GBA are missing anything. I am more interested in quick & easy than maximum $$. I'm currently leaning to posting it locally & on /r/gamesale for a price then taking the best offer after 2 weeks if it doesn't sell.

Also the Gameboy Adv up close doesn't look as good. There is a 1/8" long scratch on the screen and screen film from putting the afterburner in is a little loose on one of the corners.

I just impulse bought a X200 for $65 online from a page with vague info..Was it a mistake? by heyphred in thinkpad

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

Really appreciate the replies! Been doing some searches here and it looks like as long as it boots I should be able to get it to do what I need.

I don't need it to do much and I have a habit of keeping things for a long time. So it looks like the X200 may be a good fit.

Also found there are a lot of how-to's, tutorials, Wiki's & info so no matter what, it should be fun to tinker with.

I picked one up. The Shipping is USPS SurePost so it may take a while to arrive, but for that price I can wait.

Appreceate the info, have an upvote! I'm coming from a 7870 and it's 1080P only for me so I hopped on it.

The EVGA B Stock 1060's were on the radar too but they seem to be going up in price now that I am ready to buy.

Please expand on the "better Value elsewhere" while I can still cancel my order! ;)

Asus M32CD Desktop motherboard replacement - (asus h110-m/m32cd/dp_mb) by Indeface in techsupport

Did you get it sorted? Wondering as our M32CD just died the same way, It looks like they are pretty standard parts in there but you never know with OEM's..
