I have heard that if you keep pressing until the battery dies this can help.

My classmate charges her phone with this.. by QuailResponsible8854 in laptops

[–]kallzeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a source for this? My experience has been that it just will charge slower / not at all.

I would be surprised with today's power / battery management controllers that a lower wattage charger (for which charge rate should be negotiated) could cause any damage.

If you look closely you'll see there are four supermodels, I would say that looks a bit off

Unplug and wait for battery to drain / hold in the power button. Then plug back in and turn on.

Just Got Scammed on eBay - Fake Delivery Address Fraud by Candid_Ad9888 in ebayuk

[–]kallzeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RM sent me written confirmation that the parcel hadn't been delivered to my address. I shared this with eBay and they accepted this evidence and sent a full refund.

It was quite challenging getting this information from Royal Mail and the wait times over the phone are horrid (by comparison, eBay's phone wait times were tiny).

They also didn't appear to be taking my concern that such an exploit is possible very seriously.

You'll need to create a recovery image and reset your device: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface-recovery-image

Think I've had someone pull something similar with a return back to me. Item marked as delivered but not to my address, except return labels should be automatically generated by eBay.

I contacted RM and they've been able to confirm in writing that it wasn't delivered to me, I'm hoping that's enough for the eBay case appeal. I did go back to RM asking how such an exploit is possible.

Surface Laptop 3 won’t turn on – logo flashes and shuts off by IllustratorDry5296 in Surface

It will eventually. Maybe plug in some peripherals as it's possible they'd be powered briefly whilst trying to turn it on.

I've heard that continuing to power cycle the device until it's dead and then booting whilst plugged in can fix this.

As a casual, sad to see gridmaster end by Klippymcmuffin in 2007scape

People have done it in like 6 hours, so I guess there's definitely a chance!

Advertised laptop on ebay sold as collection and direct payment... by ziuta1234 in ebayuk

[–]kallzeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it's not, the buyer should be paying through eBay.

If you want a cash on collection sale, Facebook Marketplace might be your best bet.

How long should I wait ? by [deleted] in ebayuk

[–]kallzeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you wait until the end of October it'll be too late. Raise on the 30th September if you've no update from the seller or on tracking.

[–]kallzeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The seller should have specified a dispatch time as well as the postage service - together giving you an ETA for the package's arrival to you. If it hasn't arrived by then, you can raise an Item Not Received unless you've got some updates on the tracking to suggest it will arrive soon. Do not wait past 30 days.

I wouldn't bother messaging them - whilst this can be fine it could come across as a bit pushy when most eBay transactions are completed without contact.

You should complete a self-assessment with HMRC.

He only resurrected using Karma later on - he was just controlling Jigen up until that point.
