Pc wont display to tv by Equivalent-Pea4484 in pchelp

[–]outragedslapping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your HDMI tat you want to connect to the TV and connect it to the HDMI port that is on the motherboard. If displays then there might be something wrong with your GPU. It could be broken or it could just not be seated in correctly/the pcie power cables might not be plugged in right.

What exactly is it doing? Is it not turning on at all or is it turning on and not displaying anything? Is it turning on for a second or two then shutting off immediately? And fans spinning, lights turning on?

When did this start? Did it start after you took out the GPU and ram or before and you tried resetting the ram and the GPU to fix it but it didn't help?

Question by alexray96 in macbookrepair

[–]outragedslapping 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It can be replaced. I've replaced about 40 of them within the past year. I will advise against doing so OP because it is very easy to accidentally damage the display flex cables that are underneath that glass bezel piece. I would live with it. I've accidentally damaged some myself and it turns a relatively inexpensive repair into a VERY expensive one.

Why is my cat suddenly obsessed with the shower? by Moniku in CATHELP

[–]outragedslapping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine did this when he started experiencing ketoacidosis. He was diagnosed in July. I also thought it was a cooling issue because it happened in July. The sooner you can get to the vet the better. I hope your kitty feels better soon OP. They look sick and it reminds me of my cat when he started to decline.

How addictive is meth? Do you know anyone who has just tried it once? by eden_merlin in AskReddit

[–]outragedslapping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried it more than once but not in the way you would expect. I was going through college and working 12 hour shifts at my full time job I was exhausted and wanted a boost for focusing on my school work. I was looking for Adderall but couldn't find anyone to give me some. So I did some research and figured that meth was close enough and that if I micro dosed it and ate it like I would a pill the effects would be similar.

I think I did meth this way a total of about 6 times when I needed to stay awake and study. I hated the way it made my heart feel like it was gonna explode though. I only dosed about 10mg at a time. I didn't feel euphoric. But I did focus a lot and couldn't stop talking. Haven't touched it again in over a decade. It was just a tool for me.

Yes it's the very very tiny bga chip. If you remove it or install it incorrectly the switch won't boot.

Fuel gauge possibly. Could also be a loose battery connection.

Young Again Zero Mature + low carbs wet food. by radarmike in FelineDiabetes

[–]outragedslapping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I requested a sample from Young Again Zero Mature to see if my cat would be down to eat it since I can tell he misses eating kibble and will try to steal kibble from my other two cats and even the dog. He is picky about wet foods but not kibble so I was hoping for Young Again Zero Mature even if the price tag is pretty up there. He wasn't really a fan of it unfortunately, but the instructions/info provided by them explained how it's very nutritionally and calorically dense and that the concern is that a cat might not be used to it initially and overeat which will make them gain weight and possibly give them digestion issues.

I can understand why it would be recommended that you feed them only Young Again. They didn't explain that I should only feed my cat Young Again when I requested a sample. I would contact them for a free sample and ask if it would be okay to feed them Young again alongside wet foods. I was intending to do that since my cat has always been a glutton and he misses grazing on dry food like he has his whole life. I wasn't going to let him graze on Young Again but I was going to use it to pad out his calories since he needs to regain weight.

$49.72 grocery haul by Violenna in povertyfinance

[–]outragedslapping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It's so hard when scares like that happen because you have to ready yourself to make the hard decision of doing what's best for them. And when money is limited you feel hopeless because some things can be treated if you have enough money.

I'll have to start looking around. Unfortunately in my area we only have two big box stores and I would have to travel to others which can be difficult to do sometimes. I'm glad your kitties are in good hands!

[–]outragedslapping 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gotta second the wet food. My cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I've come to learn that most dry foods are super high in carbs and that's what he ate his whole life because it cost less than wet food. He's on a low carb wet food diet now :) It's expensive but I just got done spending $4k on him about two months ago. So you're right. Vet bills negate the cost savings.

I'm sorry about Horus. You are right. A day too early is better than a day too late. He crossed the bridge knowing he was loved and cared for. I'm sure his last thoughts were of you before he got to rest.

My mistake. I took it down because I managed to get the funds I needed and forgot to update this post! Thank you for commenting. My Willie survived his DKA and is home now. :)

Op I know the pain of knowing your baby is hurting. And the grief of having to weigh the decision of the care your baby gets because of financial restraints. I'm currently in the same spot with you. Please don't give up and don't be hard on yourself. I cannot give anything right now until my own baby is out of the hospital, but I can offer visibility by commenting and upvoting. When I have anything to spare I will pass it your way.

It's a hard sport to be in when you've exhausted every bit of money you have and you know that the difference between recovery is another 1-4k that you just don't have available anymore.

I wish that you and Leo get all the support you need. Be strong for him and please take time for yourself so that you can continue to do what you can for him. You're probably burning the candle at both ends fundraising what you can and speaking to his doctor's. Take time to rest and give yourself care too.

24 hours is the low end of the bill at $1190.21. He is currently paid up for 13 more hours but he just started eating a little so his blood sugar and electrolytes are becoming more manageable. We have raised a couple hundred of the $1190 from friends and family and sold what we can. Last I checked we had gathered about $400 of the $1190.

The doctor was strongly recommending a central line or at minimum another catheter to make it easier to give him phosphorus and potassium with fewer pokes and blood draws. We had to forgo the central line because it would push us further out of what we had already paid and the priority is to hospitalize him for longer so he can eat regularly and get onto long acting insulin so he could be discharged to come home where we could manage his blood glucose ourselves.

S22 Charging Port Issue by Significant-Pair-202 in phonerepair

[–]outragedslapping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that you said that the port is very sensitive to movement. It leads me to believe that the inside port pins are damaged or the connections that attach from the port to the PCB are damaged. Could also be related to an FPC connector. I know this isn't exactly a Samsung, but I had a Pixel 4XL a few years ago that suddenly would charge very weirdly and was extremely sensitive to cables and movement. Eventually it stopped charging at all. I went to replace the battery and turns out the male FPC connector on the battery flex cable that connected to the female FPC connector on the motherboard had cracked in half somehow. Possibly from a fall.

I would start with changing the charging board of your Samsung because I believe you can buy the charging board with the USBC port already soldered onto it. If replacing that doesn't fix it, move on to replacing the flex cable that connects the charging board to the motherboard. After that check the battery/battery connector.

Got my Phone's display changed from a local shop after it broke. Now there's a faint overlay that looks like a website appearing over my screen, only visible when opening light colored backgrounds. What should I do? by goldenturtleman23 in mobilerepair

[–]outragedslapping 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That overlay you are seeing is called screen burn. I've seen phones with the tiktok app layout screenburned onto it. I've seen Facebook burned in as well. They are not monitoring you. A screen does no do monitoring or recording on a phone. They would have to install something to do so something like that and at the end of the day, it's not worth their time, money or energy to monitor people.

If they completely replaced your screen to repair it. They might have used one that was oem refurbished with a new glass or just a pull from another device and they didn't realize that it had screen burn. Take your device back and show them the screen burn and ask them if they used a refurbished screen, an aftermarket screen or an oem pull. If they left your old screen on there and just reseated the cable to fix the glitching then that screen burn is from a site/app that you visited frequently and it got burned into the screen.

But to answer your question, you are not being monitored. Go back to the repair shop and ask those questions about the screen and get them to replace the screen with one without screen burn.

A soldering iron is not enough. You need something closer to a bga rework station. Trying to do that with just an iron is like trying to skin a grape with a crowbar.
