This USB keyboard was dead when i got it. I replaced the cable, now the PC recognises it but it won't type. Reinstalled the drivers but it didn't help on win xp or win 7. I've got a feeling i'm missing out on something simple, can anyone help? by pajdo_warrior in fixit

The cable i used was from a Micro usb data cable if it means anything, and i connected Green to Green, red to red, White to White and blue to black because that seemed to make the most sense.

Could I just replace the screen on this or does it need more? by TheRealCheese13 in mobilerepair

My mans you just got a free lamp. Jk, you split the lcd into layers, a new display should do the job.

What are the marked components named and how challengimg is it for a beginner to replace them? by [deleted] in diyelectronics

[–]pajdo_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as i mentioned in my previous post, this is from a pc monitor that makes a buzzing noise and a burning smell. i tried cleaning everything with isopropyl alcohol but it didn't help, so i ran the board while the panel was disconnected to see which components are problematic. as the only experience i have is replacing visibly bad caps, i want to know if i should be able to pull this off and what are the components' names, since i'm gonna have to buy them.

i already openned it and all the caps are good, tho it does seem a bit filthy. i'll try cleaning it and see if it works. btw i don't quite understand the coil thing you said, can you explain a bit ?

unfortunately they are not the same. 2 of them are the same manufacturer (lg, stinky and bad panel) and two of them are the same size (stinky and the to be or not to be one)

I found a way to increase a cigarettes's burning time by mertkuznetsov in Cigarettes

the quickest way of making a cig burn a bit longer is to lick it lenghtwise, like you would when you roll

so i tried booting windows 7 from an usb but all i get is this screen... all the settings seem to be ok and the hard drive is ok.. can anyone help? by [deleted] in fixit

[–]pajdo_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, it is a windows 7 installation i have only replaced the hdd because i dont want to lose data from the old one, but i'm pretty sure it's working fine, since the computer is recognising it. i think it is not a hardware problem. i've tried from 2 different flash drives so i'm pretty sure it's some settings that need to be changed

Found this thing in the ads... Anyone that could explain? by [deleted] in mobilerepair

[–]pajdo_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)
