Re: Need advice for new computer

Get a good quality PSU and an All Solid Caps board, trust me that's all you'll going to need, it will last longer and more stable. Buy new SATA HDD, and save all your data cause there won't be anymore IDE port in the future.

Seeking Advice: Repairing Dell U3425WE Monitor with Faulty USB-C/Thunderbolt Ports

by Borse2008
Hi everyone,

Looking for some advice or opinions on what to do with a monitor issue I’ve run into. Apologies in advance is this crossovers a few forum categories.

I have a Dell U3425WE, which I've recently replaced with another model. That said, the original unit is still fully functional in terms of the display — it works perfectly over HDMI and DisplayPort. However, the USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 ports have stopped functioning correctly. The Issue:
- The 90W Thunderbolt 4 port (circled in the photo) no longer charges or powers any device, including laptops or MacBooks.
- There’s

Mosfet Advice

by Green Probe

Hi, Im looking to replace some EMP21N03 mosfets on an Alienware motherboard, but I'm having trouble finding a legit supplier. The ones that are available from China have pictures with the engraved logo looking very scratchy and sketchy. Nobody in the US sells them. I'm trying to find a compatible mosfet, but I'm not well versed enough to be confident im making the right choice. Does anyone have a suggestion or advice that could help me find the right mosfet? Thanks!

Gigabyte Eagle 3060 Ti - Boardview / Advice request please

by user234

Hi all,

Recently installed a new motherboard but during the process I seemed to have damaged my Gigabyte Eagle 3060 Ti card.

My motherboard ROG STRIX B550-A is detecting an issue with the VGA (light ON)

I have attached 2 photo's of my GPU board, one above and the other is what I believe to be the 5V - as you can see, this has visual damage so looks suspicious to me.

If I replace this part what are the odds this will resolve the issue? - any additional information on where to source the parts would be much apricated too!

This is...

Advice on rewiring this stepup transformer?

by artvandalai

I bought this Chinese made step up transformer to run some 220v appliances. Some of the wires were brittle and broke off. I attempted to improve some of the wiring with spade terminals and heatshrink tubing as the wires were just soldered straight to the connectors. Any advice on how to rewire the broken wires on this step up transformer? I'm unsure how to go about rewiring this to a better safe working condition.

MBP 820-00928a need advice

by wattsRpower

I'm working on an a1707 macbook pro for a friend of mine that said it had stopped working and will not turn back on. After opening up the laptop I discovered a short on C7382 which took the PPBUS_HS_CPU to gorund.
After fixing the cap issue, I had 12.6 volts on the line. Not sure what or when something happened, but I am now getting 3.6 to 3.8 volts fluctuating. I was taking some volt readings and I'm not sure if I shorted something or if something else has happened.
At this point, I'm not sure where to start looking for something to fix. Maybe the cpu fried anyway when the PPBUS_HS_CPU...
