    Crack in Laptop Screen

    A coworker of mine ordered one for a Dell off of EBay and said it was pretty easy to do. Certainly cheaper than replacing the laptop depending on the age and specs.

    New PSU but still no power on

    I just found the bunk PSU's box, it was Smart Power 2.0 not True Power II, but regardless I think SmartPower PSU's had some of the same issues did they not?

    New PSU but still no power on

    I have my old Epox 9npa in the closet, I will have to hook it up this afternoon. Hopefully Windows won't barf when I swap out the mobo. I've begun to grow out of the whole building a custom PC years ago. In college it was great fun tweaking and finding those certain CPU's or vid cards that...

    New PSU but still no power on

    I have replaced an Antec True Power which was whining presumably due to bad capacitors. The system finally shut itself down and would not power on at all nor was the led on my mobo lighting up. Being a month or two out of warranty I went out and bought a Cooler Master Real Power Pro 650w. I...

    Jerky a good snack?

    Seems to be relatively low in calories and fat with a very high protein content (14g in a serving). It's a little high in sodium unfortunately. Anyone else here eat it as a change of pace from energy bars, tuna, and the like?

    Out of sync audio with GH3 for the Wii?

    I ejected my copy of GH3 and turned the Wii off and back on.......seems fixed. I played for about an hour or two and everything was cool. And when I mentioned out of sync audio, I don't mean it was off by a second or two, it was skipping similar as to if you had a skipping CD or even a bad MP3.

    Out of sync audio with GH3 for the Wii?

    This is wishful thinking but maybe as a way to 'apologize' they include a coupon code to download a free song pack. Even if it's only a song or two, it'd be a nice gesture.

    how the hell does madden get past QA

    That's been true since the beginning of sports games.

    Out of sync audio with GH3 for the Wii?

    I haven't noticed the mono bug since I run the Wii sound through my TV speakers. Does anyone remember the Back To The Future DVD box set screw up? How long did it take to get new movies out?

    Out of sync audio with GH3 for the Wii?

    I was hoping that my recent move didn't jostle the Wii too much. I figure it wasn't handled anymore roughly than it would have when it was shipped over from Japan.

    Out of sync audio with GH3 for the Wii?

    I never noticed a problem until the other night. I've gotten as far as completing about 23 songs and it's never happened until just the other night after a couple of weeks of not being able to play.

    Issues booting from CD

    I was just doing the lazy thing and not feeling like transferring whatever files I need off of the C: though most everything like music and pictures are kept on a separate drive instances like this. Plus this upgrade was done suddenly as the previous hardware failure was unexpected. I am not...

    Out of sync audio with GH3 for the Wii?

    I was playing the other night and expeirienced some out of sync audio which of course really threw me off on the song. I reset the system and play again. First song through, audio fine, next song, out of sync audio again. I inspected the game disc, fine, not a scratch on it. Anyone else...

    Issues booting from CD

    I've swapped out my mobo, cpu and ram due to a failed mobo. Almost time for an upgrade anyways. Well I want to boot from my XP cd and do a Repair on XP to get all of the drivers and stuff going right so I don't have to wipe and start all over. XP does indeed boot up, but with 640x480 res and...

    The onboard video for a Macbook

    I can afford the MBPro, not worried about the cash. I am just having a debate about it being "worth it". I've got games like HL2 and the like that I play from time to time. By no means am I a hard core gamer and need a GeForce 8 series in a desktop. Thanks for the link. Hopefully it will...
