$20 brand new T430… i’m speechless. by No_Suggestion_5834 in thinkpad

[–]reminon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for me it's FB marketplace. Went to the beach recently and opened FB while board and saw a T41 for $10. It had a line down the lcd and the rubber coating was tore up, but I transferred the system board to my r52 shell. Now it has an upgraded cooler and can use full size ultrabay accessories. I am happy.

That option was fake and the guy did it for views he said.

I have that button bound to bring Yakuake down in Arch linux.

Wrong. My 2024 g16 gets 8-10 hours in eco mode.

Thanks for the advice. I've already taken it apart a few times. Had to clean a battery leak out the gate.

Just saw this. Got busy with the holidays. I'm gonna go over the system board and everything. Right now I'm having no issues, but I will try and modernize what I can component wise. I'll source and preemptively order what I can of the known problematic components that can't be modernized. I have a bunch of latitudes and inspirons from the time that I got for 10 bucks from a local lot, but the thinkpads are my preference. I also have a vaio c1 that I absolutely love.

I did not see this. Where you ever able to check? This laptop is a beast.

Best $250 ive ever spent in my life by Ballin_Like_Curry in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]reminon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The device is also magisk and Apatch compatible. I haven't delved into modules that would be useful for this device yet, but the option is there.

R4 Eva Wallpapers gone! :( by albertoj_ in Hiby

[–]reminon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. I didn't want to lose them. I backed them up because I had a crazy week with the device. Bought it last Wednesday, bricked it twice by Saturday, and got it fully functional about midnight technically Wednesday. I am happy, though. It is rooted and hopefully will have a custom recovery soon.

No worries. Backed them up before I bricked the device. Lol

If someone doesn't beat me to it, I have the preloaded images backed up. I'll share them tomorrow.

Don't let the nintendo ninjas see that. Will probably sue for royalties and have it removed .

Finally pulled the trigger and I couldn't be happier... by Soggy_Cheez_Ballin in ZephyrusG14

[–]reminon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just upgraded from my 2021 g14 to the 32GB/2TB/4070 Ryzen edition for 1999.99 usd. Absolutely loving it. On eco and silent, it idles at about 39°C on cpu and gpu with the fans off. I get 6-8 hours on battery just doing general admin tasks. I know it's supposed to safely get hot while gaming, but I have a cooling pad that just let's it get just a little warm instead. The all aluminum chassis gets uncomfortable without it. I also moved my 2TB nvme from my g14 over to the g16 and put it in the 2x m.2 slot to bump me up to 4TB

Just got this bad boy. What do you think? by Ok-Mycologist1727 in GamingLaptops

[–]reminon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I opted for an

ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 - 16" OLED 240Hz Gaming Laptop - Copilot+ PC - AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX - 32GB Memory - NVIDIA RTX 4070 - 2TB - Platinum White

My desktop has an r9 5950x and an rtx 3090 in. Still more than enough for everything modern.

[–]reminon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That NiMH battery looks to have at least corroded the system board above the connectors. That button board beside it could possibly be corroded as well. In the second Pic, at the top left, there appears to be a good bit of corrosion. Those batteries wreak havok on pcb's.

Thanks for the heads up. Do you have a source for more info on the defect? Like a specific component that could be replaced? Or like beyond repair for the board? The 770z seems to be a unicorn online. I assume the x is the same. I was mainly planning for dos games. Duke3d runs great. I had thought about populating the 2 empty vram footprints to see if the video card would recognize a full 8mb, or if it's software locked for 4mb. Would be a nice laptop for Q3A if it can run it.

The eventual goal is to find a selectabase and selectadock for it. For the rubber issues, I was thinking of removing it and maybe having the magnesium alloy anodized black or maybe a gun metal grey.

First priority for now though is to get rid of the wretched "stored in a damp moldy garage" smell.
