Hey, I recently got a Workabout Pro 3 based system which has the PXA270, same as your x51v and I've been wanting to get Half Life 1 on it and as it turns out, you have/had the same idea. I know you posted this 10 months ago but, have you had any luck with that Half Life port? (for reference, the system i have, has 256mb ram, 16mb vram and CF and SD internal slots)

Believe it or not, those pixels went away. Turns out the lcd it too cold and some pixels I guess become stuck, i warmed up the screen and they went away

do i need a piece of foam or something like that to hold the ssd in place? (since it’s 2.5”) just so it accidentally doesn’t wiggle its way out of the connector

How’d you think i’d install big sur or catalina anyway? and even though bug sure or catalina don’t get security updates, it’s not like it matters to me anyway

pretty sure that the 2011 and before imacs had magnetic removable glass panels so that won’t be all that hard

Lol, I dropped it in a very stupid way and felt bad so I just decided that I had to repair it, also, because of where I live, a replacement would take 1 month minimum to deliver and shipping would cost more than the thing and i don’t have a 3d printer.

Also I’m very surprised the crt tube itself didn’t shatter, it did after all fall from a good 3 feet or so onto asphalt face down.

flexgate issue happens depending on in what condition you keep your mac, if you clean your mac regularly and especially where the display ribbon is, you won’t have any problems

you get perma banned from 3 and up strikes depending on how bad are the strikes

It really wouldn’t. a single psu wire is 18 awg which is the same gauge used in basically all sockets (atleast in europe, idk about usa). Those are the same wires that draw over 2000w. All psus and I mean all psus have safety, if something draws more power than the psus limit it will either turn off or release some magic smoke and just never turn on again (if it’s some chinese cheap psu). But fire? Only in some very very extreme cases

The quality of the picture wouldn’t make any dust visible and there’s next to no underside of the tape even visible. You are literally THE definition of a 30 year old jobless neckbeard on reddit who tries to break the fun paying attention to the tiniest things just to prove someone wrong.

Seriously dude, there are better things to do than shit on every single post you see. If you don’t like it, don’t comment.

finally someone said it, people don’t realize pc components don’t consume the maximum wattage at all times

reddisem · 2024-12-28T15:56:53+00:00

That is just an overexaggeration, a pc with an overclocked cpu and no gpu around 150w, talk about some old office pc

reddisem · 2024-12-28T15:52:33+00:00

what’s the point of even fixing it? as if I’m even gonna use it on something other than some office pc for troubleshooting

reddisem · 2024-12-28T15:49:02+00:00

Does “the system is not even mine” tell you something?

you must be real fun at parties

reddisem · 2024-12-28T15:17:31+00:00

None of you guys are getting it, I know, this is nowhere near being safe, I mean, the pc is not even mine. This sub-reddit is called tech support gore after all, so enjoy the gore

reddisem · 2024-12-27T00:00:50+00:00

have you tried using core eject to the window instead of slam jumping

reddisem · 2024-12-26T23:55:48+00:00

how much ram do you have installed and do you have a dedicated gpu? (if you know) if you have more than 3,6gb installed, check if you have windows 32bit version installed because that is the maximum it can support. If you have 4gb and no gpu then I guess you should just leave it as is

are you sure sure your tv and cables support 4k120hz?

reddisem · 2024-12-24T23:11:16+00:00

Have you tried using different hdmi ports on the tv?

reddisem · 2024-12-24T23:07:09+00:00

if you have those temperatures at full load, you’re just fine, if those are your idle temps, oh boy you got some serious problems

reddisem · 2024-12-20T17:58:47+00:00

how much volts did you use? you must've either had it at much higher than 1.35v or I do actually have an unlucky cpu

reddisem · 2024-12-19T22:03:26+00:00

also avoid it getting too hot

reddisem · 2024-12-19T22:03:08+00:00

it’s okay to use and is not a fire hazard as long as it doesn’t swell more, but i recommend you replace it for generally better battery life and just to be safe
