    Awwwwww MAN!!!! This blows!

    I figured someday once I wasn't a broke student anymore, I would buy myself a nice new SL-1200MK6. I guess I have to make my old Technics SL-D202 last me a lifetime now

        Technics made servo-based turntables with a extremely low speed error rate.
        I've read about laser-based turnables which reads the grooves in a vinyl record, which does not wear out the record at all.
        My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

          you cant scratch or mix on a laser turntable, and they cost over $10,000 last time i saw a thing about them.
          they where hand built for museums to use for archiving.

            This is antiquated technology... Passing grooves in a plastic disk over metal pin... I know compact disc is based on the same principle, but who needs this except for archival purposes. I keep a Hi8 camcorder stored in case someone asks me to convert their old stuff to DVD, but I'm not about to go out and mourn its demise.

              It's about the experience. Buying/selling/trading, collecting, scoring at the thrift shop, visiting a kickass record store. Plus the whole experience of putting a record on is much (ahem) groovier than just plugging in an iPod.

              Most of my music is mp3. But I have a small vinyl collection and I listen to it at night once or twice a week in the nighttime. It's my unwinding routine - kick off my shoes, dim the lights, start the lava lamp, and pick a record to listen to.

                  I have to admit, I did score an SVHS deck at the thrift store a while back. I've taken a fancy to it, mostly, because I always wanted an SVHS deck back in the day. But these days it serves the purposes of giving me the time and for playing the odd VHS video and for VHS to DVD conversion, and hopefully for converting SVHS tapes if I can ever find empty ones on eBay that aren't snatched for such high prices.

                      Copy DMI info easily with Hex editing software and Macro script
                      by SMDFlea
                      Copying DMI information from an old bios to a new one is difficult for some members, often they have no experience with a hex editor,or some that have tried find it too hard.There is an option to make things easier for those members so that they don`t need to post their own bios backup for the DMI copying.

                      Experienced bios modding members can help by posting in other threads the DMI offsets,macro script generated by the software and a download link to the software at softpedia mentioned in this guide,or post your macros in the comments here with a link to the bios request thread ....

                      UPDATE of JANUARY 5th : I am cancelling this post because problem has been solved by creating a new bios starting from the old one with correct dmi and cleaning ME. everything works fine . thanks anyway

                      Hi, I am replacing a motherboard circus-6050A2723701-MB-A02 to an HP 650 G2 laptop because the original one was faulty.

                      Dell Inspiron 5559 need BIOS Master PW
                      by The WABBIT
                      I had recently purchased a used Dell Inspiron 5559 that I had found at a local pawn shop. And of course the system is locked. And I have no idea what the Admin pw is and I have no information for the previous owner.

                      After many days of research I have found that this system, like many new system, require a Master PW/Code to unlock it or reprogramming of the BIOS.

                      Contacting Dell Support was a waste of time. They won't give me the the Master PW/Code unless I have the information of the Registered owner that they have on file. They even gave me a link to a page on their...
