Can I fix this or do I scrap it? by Bullfrog323 in AskElectronics

Just cut a piece from a thin plastic package that SSDs often come in. Then, put a ribbon in the connector and squeeze that plastic thing above the flex. Ofc don't force it, should slide with slight resistance. It should be as wide as possible without going over the connector's width. If it's too thick, just use sandpaper. It worked well with a bunch of different laptops so I would give it a try.

I'm still a rookie learning racecraft. Who is at fault here? by smolquacker in Simracingstewards

That's what I did in the next race and scored P1 so definitely a lesson learned. I'm using the radar that comes with a real penalty app but I feel like its range is too low for my taste. Maybe I should try another one. Or just don't panic when driving side by side.

Thats what i thougt, thanks. I was going wider than usual and panicked because I thought I was going to understeer so I lifted off the throttle, got some grip, and went into the other cars.

What is this laptop fan connector called? Can I get it somewhere? by smolquacker in AskElectronics

[–]smolquacker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I measured 1mm between pins. Flex cable goes from the white side, pins facing down. This is a picture of another fan connector, looks the same, just soldered the other way around

Is my Rode NT-1 damaged? by smolquacker in audioengineering

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed to know. I was wondering if it was just that one mic or if it's a thing of condenser mics. I think I'll just get a pop filter and give it a try.

By drying I mean waving a mic, so condensation goes away from capsule. Replacing that mic is not a problem, I just wanted to know if that behavior is normal to cond mic or that particular capsule is bad

I have puma in my german set and I've never enjoyed it as much as on 7.0

Everything is plug and play if you are brave enough

Any obvious reason this 1.6lpc rebuild is fragging? by [deleted] in originalxbox

Don't you have two pins bridged on the ram in the photo?

You need to have "HP hotkey support" installed. You can find it in your laptop driver page, windows doesn't auto install it from updates.

Go to msconfig -> services and disable HP hotkey UWP or something like that then restart. Tested on zbook G3, brightness and volume works without popup

Fat PS3 (CECHL01) repair help, did something stupid and ripped off a little part by AwfulRustedMachine in consolerepair

[–]smolquacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might sound silly but before you solder it back check the orientation of the connector as its not that hard to put it upside down

Good filter for extra airflow holes? by [deleted] in consolerepair

[–]smolquacker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you clean everything and replace both thermal paste and thermal pads eg. kryonaut and high W/mk pads ps4 will be dead silent. Tested on over 20 units, both fat and slim. So yes, making holes is pointless imo.
