    more bogus ball bearing fans.this time antec

    these were in one of my vp6 servers and i noticed when this box started dieing for no apparent reason that one had locked up.
    peel the label and look at the dry sleeve bearing!
    they are fine after a few drops of m1 in each.
    ball bearing my ass!

      kc8adu,

      These are thermaltake heatsink made for antec. All show and no better than intel heatsink which say lot. I had thermaltake heatsinks and their quality of fan used on these are POOR, hybrid bearings (ball/sleeve), out of balance (noise/vibrations). Intel's heatsink bearings are dual ball bearing.

      For this reason, I stick with intel heatsinks or upright heat pipe heatsink with copper base and MY CHOICE of fans and run them slow.

      Cheers, Wizard

          these are pure sleeve bearings.
          1/4" spring loaded endplay.
          ever notice the prettier they are the shittier the working parts are?

              I've found that to be the case with a lot of things.
              A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.

                  I've always wondered how they get away with such blatent false advertising. You'd think someone would've made them stop by now. Perhaps a lawsuit would change things.... the sticker at least. But then, we Americans are too sue-happy anyway. In this case, though, there's a legitimate complaint.
                  Ludicrous gibs!

                      Gaming Laptop Zephyrus S17 TFT not detected every time !
                      by titomno2
                      Hi guys,
                      I post my problem here because I think it could be a capacitor related issue (Asus support on this particular subject is non-existing).
                      So the computer is a Zephyrus-S17-GX735LXS-26T and the strange behavior is seen.
                      On cold start most of the time the internal screen is detected and a picture it works fine until shutdown, sleep or deep sleep.
                      Then the screen won't work for a long period of time.
                      If I wait 1 or 2 hours it work again most of the time.
                      When it doesn't work the batterie indicator blink 3 times white stop and the same schematic is repeated...

                      Adding a clock battery to action camera to retain date&time when changing batteries Campark X25
                      by flat-earther
                      I have a cheap action camera with an annoying trait, every time I change batteries the date & time gets reset and I have to set it again.

                      To solve this problem I want to add a small internal battery inside it which will keep supplying power to the camera for a while while I change batteries so the date & time is retained.

                      I have opened the camera and I think there is enough room to add something inside to accomplish this:

                      The camera is powered by a 3.7V nominal single cell lithium ion battery.
                      So I need to connect another battery in...

                      HP Pavilion dm4-1065dx long time to get the power led on
                      by OscarAV
                      Hello,

                      I just came here to see if someone has had the same problem I have, and if he or she solved It, to know how to do It.

                      I have made a quick search for my laptop but I have not seen anything similar.

                      I have an old laptop, an HP Pavilion dm4-1065dx which takes a lot of time to be ready to start if the laptop has been unplugged for a while. It has no battery. The battery failed long time ago. It needs to be plugged to work. But as I said, It can take a lot of time until the charging led gets on, and I can switch on the laptop. I am using an external monitor...

                      Pioneer RM-07 Active monitors cutting out from time to time
                      by BigOof
                      I have a pair of Pioneer RM-07 monitors that I bought a while ago. When I was testing them I noticed that one speaker would cut out and I thought it was just a bad cable connection. At the price they were being sold for I was willing to take a risk on them. However, 6 months later and the one monitor still has the same issue. Most of the time it works, but there are times that the power LED is on but I get absolutely no sound. I can hear the relay clicking on/off sometimes and then it will/won't work depending on what it feels like. I've tried XLR and RCA inputs with the same issue. There's no...

                      HP Notebook - 15-ba017ax (LA-D711P Motherboard) turns off randomly after some time
                      by nieljosiah
                      I've had this laptop for 8-9 years, and about a week back, it started malfunctioning. When I press the power button, the power LED comes on for about 5secs and turns off. The fan also doesn't spin at all during this time. But, if I press the power button, and then manually spin the fan, the laptop boots up and the fan starts spinning on its own. Even if I do this, and the laptop boots up, it turns off (hard shutdown) after some time between 10secs and 1hour randomly. I've tried checking the fan voltage and it's at zero volts when I press the power button without spinning it, but when I spin the...
