              It looks like shit. Also looks like you have some fun times waiting up ahead for you if you ever change hard drives (the new one might have the connector in a different position). All of this work on an old Pentium 4 that is pretty much worthless these days.

                            A resistor ain't gonna work plus you already have the 3.3v rail in your ATX connector.

                                    Unsolder some orange 3.3v wire from a different power supply, and solder it in this one's 3.3v then run it down there.

                                        better yet, you could get a molex to dual sata adapter for $4, even cheaper on the internet

                                          Help with trying to fix phone that is not charging (Pics inside)
                                          by SluggerB
                                          I have two TCL A30 phones.

                                          Old Phone: This phone worked fine for years, then stopped charging If you plugged a charger into it, the phone would make the charging sound, the phone would tell you it is charging, but the battery icon would not have the charging symbol in it and the battery would not charge.I tried new battery, same behavior.

                                          New Phone: Works fine, bought as a donor board to try and repair Old Phone

                                          My interest here is to repair Old Phone, using components parts off New Phone if needed. I am not interested in replacing Old Phone with New Phone....

                                          The off/on/auto switch was busted so i forced it into auto mode and now the blue light comes on but i don’t get any audio output. Does anyone one have any experience repairing this amplifier? I looked it over, checked some the of output transistors, some of the power resistors and cleaned that nasty conductive epoxy glue stuff off but not having much luck in the trouble shooting department.

                                          I did however find a part of the PCB that was discolored from heat...

                                          Hi everybody just wondered why when i post pics they end up upside down?
                                          i also tried rotating them so they were upside down when i posted them and they were still upside down confused?
