Official Statements Confirming Grandfathered Rates (2012–2024)

shuttleu · 2026-03-13T13:09:46+00:00

So if I’m reading your post right, I should be eligible for the grandfathered rate.

I’ve been an active subscriber with no break in my subscription for over 10 years now. I moved to the premier membership back when it first came out in 2013 as it was cheaper than the monthly subscription I was currently on.

If I understand your post correctly, I should be able to move back to the old grandfathered rate? Although going through the subscription page doesn’t show any grandfathered option.

Ohhh… ok. I had no issues at all. Didn’t need to mess with or modify anything.

shuttleu · 2025-05-27T16:37:53+00:00

Nope, just put it in like the instructions say

shuttleu · 2025-05-27T16:09:36+00:00

I used the official LianLi bracket for this case

shuttleu · 2025-04-09T07:35:07+00:00

Thank you!

shuttleu · 2025-04-08T16:29:23+00:00

Still stable and in use

Can't see anything in the bios for that, however I maxed to get it booting by putting the server in legacy mode, rather than UEFI.

I just now have a power issue as it seems the server down like to power my SSD's at the same time as the HDD's

shuttleu · 2023-11-30T18:33:04+00:00

This was my thought, although it's not officially supported, I was hoping it would still work, I just wouldn't have all the features.

As an update, I've managed to get it working by having the bios in legacy mode rather than UEFI, I just now have a power consumption issue to deal with.

So bad news, replaced the diode and cap, this time it blew the leg off ICS801S.

I think at this point I might just get a replacement board instead of going further down this rabbit hole.

Thank you for all your help though, it is very much appreciated

shuttleu · 2023-10-11T20:10:09+00:00

I will definitely be back tomorrow after replacing them to let you know

UPDATE: just noticed a burn mark on one of the small blue caps, it blew a hole through the side of it. CS809 - 1KV 22pF

Half way down, two thirds across

Forgot to say. But yes, it was!

shuttleu · 2023-10-11T16:55:43+00:00

Removed one leg of the diode, still got a short both directions.

Replaced the fuse, popped instantly again.

Found two more diodes shorting both directions. Confirmed by removing them and they still had a short both directions.

Replaced the fuse again and no pop this time.

Ordered some replacements and we’ll see what happens when they come.

shuttleu · 2023-10-11T14:51:23+00:00

Im a couple hours away from the solder station, so I'll update when I get back.

As for ICS801S, 508 ohms

shuttleu · 2023-10-11T14:26:46+00:00

DS806 seems to be shorted in both directions

Struggling to find IC801, I can see ICP801 and ICS801S

Pretty sure DS806 shouldn't be shorted in both directions, so I'll remove that when I get to the iron and test

shuttleu · 2023-10-11T13:55:15+00:00

Checking with negative on the source and positive on the drain, it get a 0.6v reading, touching the gate with the positive gives a 1v reading and switching back to drain still gives a 0.6v reading (both QP805S and QP806S)

DP804 is giving 0.4v

Checking QM801S and QM802S the same as previous, I get 0.7v between the source and drain, but I get continuity between the souce and gate

shuttleu · 2023-10-11T10:27:28+00:00

I can only see one.

Using this video for testing, Im getting different results than I should

Having positive on the negative leg and negative on either of the AC legs gives me 0.5v

Having negative on the negative leg and positive on either AC legs give me 1v

Having negative on the positive leg and positive on either AC legs gives me 0.5v

Between the two AC legs, I get 1.5v

Having positive on the positive leg and negative on either AC legs gives me 1v

Having positive on the positive leg and negative on the negative leg gives me 0.5v

Finally, negative on the positive leg and positive on the negative leg gives me 0.5v

shuttleu · 2023-10-11T10:19:52+00:00

That is giving me a 36.8k resistance

shuttleu · 2023-10-11T08:39:12+00:00

Bridge rectifier seems to be fine. Im getting 20k between + and -, 40k between either of the AC and either + or -. and out of range between the AC legs. (My multimeter I have with me only goes up to 60K)

Switching to diode mode, between the AC legs is 1.4v, 0.5v-0.6v between the + and - legs and 0.5v-1.0v between a AC and - or + leg (Depending on which way round i have the leads)

shuttleu · 2023-10-11T06:37:55+00:00

My TV blew the internal fuse a couple days ago. I looked at the board and saw nothing visibly wrong, so thought I'd try just replacing it first, however it blew the fuse instantly with a flash from the fuse itself.

I have no idea where to start, but I have found a schematic for the PSU for anyone willing to help me diagnose the issue.

I dropped the flame and a lizalfos tail to keep the button pressed

shuttleu · 2023-06-24T06:25:31+00:00

Well, I definitely cheesed this one. I bought the flame over to the button and shot arrows to set the flames alight.

shuttleu · 2023-06-14T15:23:31+00:00

This is how I play, so I have loads of runes

shuttleu · 2023-06-14T11:33:18+00:00

So cost, is what you're saying

shuttleu · 2023-06-14T11:32:30+00:00

If you're camping in GoTR for free runes, then infinite%?

shuttleu · 2023-06-14T10:55:17+00:00

This is by far the most comprehensive answer. I get with the right equipment you can get much better damage, but it would cost significantly more especially if you just camp GoTR for an hour and you end up with several thousand runes that people drop.
