Re: A Cautionary Tale - Alli Express
Only 2 reviews... seems dodgy.
The store is silly, with headers it's double the price of just the 2040 board.
OP can you get a refund or not. You aren't getting a board for $0.99, that's the IC price.

Re: A Cautionary Tale - Alli Express
See now I have to find a project where I can design a PCB for these ... lolThat sucks, I hate waiting many weeks only to get something silly.
I try to avoid stores around 95% or less feedback on Ali, they seem to be idiots or scammers. I couldn't find the "G-Tank store", maybe it's the "G-String store" that sells these?
Out of the 800+ stores selling RP2040's you didn't go for the lowest price I hope. Many of them confuse the IC with the board etc, so I only order from stores specializing in selling electronics components, it seems to help.
But these stores are a shell game, i.e Alice0365 etc. there are a dozen Alice stores and she usually sells junky stuff at high price.Leave a comment:

I bought an LG 37LG5020 with a very strange issue.. it turns on, the display looks fine, but still, after 2 seconds, the TV shuts the backlight off..
However, if i leave it plugged in for 20-40min.. the time it takes to shutdown the backlight, doubles (to 4 seconds)..
I bought a new inverter, set to arrive on December 13th -
OK guys, firstly I am no expert one these games consoles. I fixed one PS4 slimline last month, which is the first one I ever looked at, but that obviously had a broken HDMI connector so it was just a microsoldering job.
This one is a PS4 Pro. it is two months old, bought from Game
Basically this slipped off a bed and landed on the floor. The only visible damage is to the LAN port. You can insert a LAN cable and it clicks firmly in place but it is a bit tricky to remove.
But since the accident the PS4 has no video output on the HDMI. When I turn it on the... -

Hi!
Tell me a utility for recording all serial numbers in Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 3, I changed the EC and Think Engine BGA. The original one did not read, since the laptop did not respond even to the power button. BGA EC and second chip from disassembly taobao. Power on - ok, but all data invalid and beeps.
The search only resulted in instructions and utilities for older models. I tried to update the firmware and rollback, but the BIOS only stores the Windows license. Everything else seems to be in EC........ -
Good morning, this macbook does not power on. By connecting the (non-original) power supply it negotiates 20V and absorbs 1.40A (battery connected and perhaps charging). Disconnecting the battery it stores at 5V and after about 5 seconds it rises to 20V and absorbs 20 mAmp. I did a quick check under the microscope but I didn't find any oxidation damage, it seems perfect. I checked the main rails and they seem ok.
