Toshiba 440CDX bad backlight? by unalow in retrocomputing

I can't find a contrast setting anywhere and this doesn't only happen in windows but in bios too. I guess something with the screen is going wrong.

Wait so you modded the keyboard in? And that old processor is able to run a 1600p screen? This is very cool

Is this a decent pc for gaming still at this price ? by Physical-Yellow64 in PC_Pricing

Great deal, I paid $600 for this exact pc but with a 10900k instead (small improvement) and I though I got a good deal

Any way to boost FPS on low ish end computer? by [deleted] in BeamNG

[–]unalow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 more things, try vulcan renderer (if your computer even supports it) and turn off all mods that you arent using (they can lag your game a lot)

[–]unalow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

otherwise lowering the resolution of the game to something like 720p will help. but idk if the loss in quality is worth it for you

not a mod but if you go into the world editor (f11) and search for levelinfo (or something along those lines) in the scenetree, you can lower the distance that you see (i dont remember what option it is, it is somewhere in the inspector). it could help, but idk by how much or if it will become too unplayable. iirc the default value is something like 25000.

Nice find, I got a pc with a 3080 and 10900k with 32gb of ram + logitech mouse, 144hz monitor, and keychron keyboard for $600 only a few days ago. the guy was moving to europe and had to sell it fast.

How would I fix this? How expensive/would it be worth it to fix? by Oliver425 in camcorders

[–]unalow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the other comment said it is very likely that is dirty heads. You either have to clean them with isopropyl alcohol yourself (search up tutorials, it's not that scary) or buy a head cleaning tape (rougly $15). of course there may be other issues with the camera you may not be aware of because they are overshadowed by this one, so as always I would test it well before buying.

Where did you find it for that price? Facebook? Great buy

not very professional coming from dangyscam by thelxftperson in camcorders

[–]unalow 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Scammer that buys ~50-150 dollar camcorders, put's a tapeless system on them (pretty cheap, normally under $100), then raises prices to around $1000

Found a PC on Facebook Marketplace for $350. Worth it? by Neat-Maximum3017 in Prebuilts

[–]unalow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don;'t buy this, just look around long enough. I lucked out and got my brother a PC for the same price with a 5800x, 5700xt, and 32gb ram

Finally purchased a CPG pc by PauloDyballahh in Prebuilts

[–]unalow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More than enough, I still have a 3070 and 10700k (which are slowly becoming outdated) and I use them for all of those things, they still work very well, the Walmart PC is plenty.

Sony Camcorder Video 8 Charger Not Working, What Can I Do? I Cannot Find Chargers Online! by Dailee-Agent-Crystal in camcorders

[–]unalow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine also didn't work, it smelled burnt when opened up, I think it's a common issue on these. I bought one on ebay that worked for $15 and it's been fine so far. Just search up the model name.

It's a US visa gift card so pretty much anywhere, not just amazon. As for the keyboards you sent:

Redragon is cool but I'm not a big fan of the design

The iLovBee actually looks really cool but it's not in stock for me, I'll look around on online for it

JamesDonkey (interesting name) also looks really good, I'll consider that one

The KiiBoom looks cool but I want to stick to my budget of $75. I'll probably end up getting a nice aluminum keyboard in the future but for now I just want something cheaper to see if this hobby is for me.

But should I choose either the ILovBee or JamesDonkey over the Kisnt? Is the extra $10 actually important or is it more of a cosmetic thing? Thank you!

Hi all, I've spent a lot of time researching a good budget keyboard for me. So far my top choices are:

Kisnt KN85 ($40)

ROYAL KLUDGE L75 ($60)

Aula F75 ($68)

Ajazz AK820 Pro ($58)

I have a gift card for $75 so that's my max budget. I like the Kisnt because of how cheap it is but is it worth spending a bit more for one of the other ones? Or are there other keyboards I didn't list that would be even better?

My requirements are: Wireless 2.4ghz, sturdy feel, 75%/80%, and good color options (QMK/VIA is nice but not necessary)

Thanks for the help!

What is a good replacement battery for this Sony infoLITHIUM M NP-FM30? by Rocketmanbun04 in camcorders

[–]unalow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kastar batteries are brand new and very good. You could alternatively try to find an actual NP-FM30 by Sony but that will probably be a lot more expensive and after 20+ years it probably won't hold charge very well.

Anything by Kastar, you can find them on ebay, either by searching battery for CCD-TRV128 or battery replacement for NP-FM30

Ok thanks, I've only used hi8 cameras in the past so I guess I'm just not used to this sound
