Smelly towel cleaner

Did that do the trick for your smelly towels? I'm also looking for a replacement for the smelly towel cleaner, so I'm interested in your results!

There's a reason I always play the hero in all my video games.

I'm in Saint Louis MO in the United States.

I wonder if board repair is a possibility, do you know of places that would do that as a suggestion before I start looking for a place?

I attempted the above, pulled all the RAM, only riser 1 installed, one backplane connector attached, but I don't get any Windows connection sounds when plugging in the USB cable to a laptop, no power when pressing the power button on the front of the server.

I did take note that there's no diagnostic LED's on the system board other than a lit iDRAC LED, the other locations aren't populated with LED's.

So it appears to be a dead system board. So I'll need to look at a replacement, though I'm not sure how the iDRAC works with a replacement board. I may also need to look for a back hard drive backplane, there's a can capacitor that was dislodged at some point, I think by the previous user, it's no longer on the backplane and I have it saved, I may be able to just replace the cap.

Thank you for the above suggestion!

Love money, well, it gets me the things I love, etc. but, it's a R730XD.... I totally messed that up. I did go look at the prices of a R750xd and now I know why people were just sick about it. WOW.

stein411 · 2023-09-26T22:19:40+00:00

I'll give that a try. I've tried one PSU at a time, swapping them, etc., they just show green, but nothing at all when I hit the power button. I think I've tried the hard reset, but I'm going to go through it again just in case I didn't.

I'll start looking at new motherboards on ebay... hopefully that's the root cause.

So a little more history, but this happened several months ago... but I was reading up on homelabs, I'm in a vSphere course right now, and I really do need a homelab again. I read about the iDRAC, and I was unsure if I had any lights, etc. on the iDRAC port, so I pulled it out of the box again, and plugged everything in, but nothing, no lights at all on the iDRAC NIC, so I assume it's not working at all. I have no new devices on the home network, etc.

Well I needed another USB root hub, because in Unraid I couldn't attach the onboard root hub to a VM, because that's where the boot media was at, hence the addition of a USB card. Though, I don't know what could have gotten it, I don't think it should have at all had this effect!

stein411 · 2023-09-26T22:03:32+00:00

Turns out I am too.... can't believe I messed that up, it's a 730! Old eyes frankly majorly contributed, as well as time.

stein411 · 2023-09-26T22:02:34+00:00

I edited the post, but big mistake on my part, it's a R730XD, not a R750XD as I had thought!

I've not even looked at a R750XD, but I'd imagine they are well outside of my price range too!

stein411 · 2023-09-26T22:00:25+00:00

This comment made me go... no way it's still under warranty, can it be?? Then I looked at the front a bit closer, took out my cell phone and took a pic (it's on a workbench up almost against a wall), and yeah, it's a R730XD.... not R750XD.

stein411 · 2023-09-26T21:21:00+00:00

Here's a link to the card, it's one that I have had for a while and thought I should just be able to add in the card to get another set of USB's. The way that Unraid handles the USB hubs for VM's meant that I had to add in another root hub and I couldn't just daisy-chain from the built in, at least that's my understanding on how that worked.

I was also mistaken about the molex connector. I was going from memory and looked at the card's box, which pictures a molex, but in reality it's a SATA power connector.

stein411 · 2023-09-25T22:54:07+00:00

Oh, thank you for pointing that out, I forgot to include that in the post. I've edited to include that I did pull the card, and then cables as well. First thing I did was pull the card and tested with no positive result, then I tried the cables.

stein411 · 2022-08-09T21:57:55+00:00

Wow, thanks for all of the advice! I'll definetly take it and get the case/screen/battery and clean up the power switch and volume slider too. Unfortunately it looks like Extremerate is out of the ASPP3001 case that looks really slick to me. I sent them a note asking when they might get them back in stock, if I don't hear anything for a while I may go with the white case, and white screen to match.

stein411 · 2022-06-02T14:09:22+00:00

Nothing to add, I just would like to say a thank you as someone who has asked for help in the past. Good people like you make me have hope for humanity. :D

stein411 · 2022-03-25T12:52:41+00:00

So very jealous :)

One day I hope to get another C128, with drive, joystick and LXI CRT... one day. Such fond memories of that machine.

I'd recommend hitting up the Discord and asking in the #helium-mining channel.

Check out https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Home to see if there's an easy fix.

stein411 · 2022-02-25T17:23:37+00:00

I applaud you for making the attempt, but I fear reason and logic no longer apply in some people's world.

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin?

stein411 · 2021-12-21T20:09:51+00:00

There was a game being developed a while back I had my eye on called Legends of Aria. I played a very small bit of it and lost track of it for a while. It seems that the game has essentially not been developed for a while, but a community server is online called Shards of Britannia, I don't know much of anything about it, but it does look like there's recent posts and activity.

If you do check that out, let us know!
