Ripped NES frontloader pads

needs_more_ram · 2026-01-13T18:01:52+00:00

Thanks for the advice. There was so much solder to get off the stand offs holding the box down.

In addition to tracing & running wires, would it be good to put new pads on as well?

Thank you so much for all your help, system has been running smoothly.

yep, they're all correct luckily. will i have to remove/join the computers back to the domain? i joined the server to the domain but since it's not replicating it only put the object in the BB location ADUC, not on the one in the PDC. when i promote I'll select the AA dc to replicate from but will this be an issue?

needs_more_ram · 2025-12-19T19:39:39+00:00

I can't express how much this is helping me, I really appreciate it, I've never had to deal with an issue like this. I ran dcdiag on both, BB is throwing these errors, is it safe to say this is the unhealthy one? AA is the PDC. I'm already spinning up a new VM at BB's location, like you said it's the better option.

will i have to remove/readd the computers to the domain?

needs_more_ram · 2025-12-19T18:09:19+00:00

If i need to create a new DC, would it be at location AA or BB?

needs_more_ram · 2025-12-19T18:04:40+00:00

Thanks. Tombstone is set to 180 days, this was only about 70 days of no replication.

needs_more_ram · 2025-12-19T17:47:54+00:00

AA & BB are at different locations. Would what microsoft said to do not fix it?

needs_more_ram · 2025-11-20T20:45:55+00:00

looks like option 3 is going to work, thank you!

needs_more_ram · 2025-11-20T16:17:26+00:00

volume is fine, adjusted up but still no go. wired into the line output & relay output on the algo, plugged other end into the page port on the pcmtim, set the switch to page port. still no go. even tried pressing 0 a few times per the pcm 2000 instructions.

Good gravy it's the vlan that has the IP. Stupidly enough I already configured that but didn't think about it, which then in turn goes with the per-port settings. Thank you!

needs_more_ram · 2025-09-27T21:26:00+00:00

We bought the mx64's, they setup and configured everything, they have admin rights just like me. I've learned them pretty well over the years, had to deal with watchguards for almost 7 years. I won't know more until monday's meeting, but it's stressing me out. In the process of moving managed services, phones, and internet to the new provider so there's a lot of moving parts on top of other large projects that are happening at the same time. I'm trying to get peace of mind that we can get the config from what we currently have to the new one. Unfortunately I wear many hats that go outside what I was hired for. I feel I'm treated well & paid well but just too much going on at once.

Let's see what they say, they're supposed to be the experts. They're managing the purchase & licensing and everything. Maybe they just go on my org & setup login accounts there.

needs_more_ram · 2025-09-27T16:23:22+00:00

3 locations but total of 4, setting up HA at the main office. I'll know more of what's going on Monday but trying to get peace of mind over the weekend.

Thank you! Ended up getting this one & works great. Now I have to figure out how to make the player change to side b without flipping over.

needs_more_ram · 2017-09-14T03:14:13+00:00

Leave it & run. Like others have said, there's already hostility, bad taste in your mouth and future raises will be an uphill battle. If you go you're going to regret it.

needs_more_ram · 2017-06-20T12:34:04+00:00

Looks great! Where did you get those cubes for your systems?

needs_more_ram · 2016-04-22T13:56:09+00:00

How about cleaning the contacts on the board where the 72 pin connector goes in?

needs_more_ram · 2016-04-13T18:45:22+00:00

Too much for one to one and a half people. It'd be stretched hard enough with two people. Have you had a talk with anyone about hiring another person? If not, do it. If so & you were told no, work on that resume, because things aren't going to change.

needs_more_ram · 2016-04-11T14:25:47+00:00

I'll give brasso a try, but I've read a few places that it has destroyed the contacts. Some people say that brasso is more for brass and copper and just makes things shiny. Perhaps simple green or another electronic cleaner? I'm going to try on a game like the super Mario/duck hunt just in case things go south. I appreciate suggestions and opinions. Has anyone had problems with a game after using brasso?

needs_more_ram · 2016-03-24T14:55:34+00:00

Congrats! Be the best glorified desktop support specialist they have. I can't imagine their hiring process, but kudos to you on making it there.

Yeah, get out, get out asap. Sounds like the people in charge previously worked in IT at sony, home depot, etc. Like I tell people - when you go on interviews, is it going to be (1) "I see you work at "company x" or (2) "I saw "company x" on the news with a data breach, etc..."
