    Score!

    This is not a repair help request...yet. Just wanted to share the Craigslist find I just got.

    3, count 'em Three pristine LCD's, all with DVI, all nice Samsungs for $20! Oh yeah and throw in an APC UPS for good measure. 2 of them are in their original box, although presumed not working. No screen damage, and already can see the video on 1 with a flashlight....easy fix, while the other widescreen comes on with the menu, but won't reliably turn on each time. Haven't checked the 3rd yet....I'll keep you all posted.

    Lesson here.....watch that Craigslist!

      Nice. I'm betting at least 2, if not all 3 will work after a re-cap.
      36 Monitors, 3 TVs, 4 Laptops, 1 motherboard, 1 Printer, 1 iMac, 2 hard drive docks and one IP Phone repaired so far....

          Jeez. Around here someone wants $50 for a 22" with what appears to be bad LCD cable, 17 inch ones with missing boards for $20, this is ridiculous. And you got THREE widescreens and an UPS for $20.

          A working TV? How boring!

              This great find offsets getting scammed on the 46" 1080 LG TV with a smashed screen....I only spent $40 on that, and haven't parted it out yet but the guy said it had only one-half the screen out....right....how about it looked like it had substituted for a major league catcher!

                  Sh*t happens. Anyway i managed to pick up a 19" Samsung for $50 that needed a tremendous amount of work done on it - ONE CAP. The economy here in Romania is quite different from the economy everywhere else, so it was totally worth the price. The panel itself is in perfect shape.

                      AT Server Case Score
                      by ratdude747
                      Not posting this in best cheap/free scores because it wasn't particularly cheap... and it isn't ultimatly my score (bought knowing that somebody else on here already agreed to buy it from me, at cost). But it's a cool NOS gem, and since I won't be rehoming it for a while (travel involved), I figured I'd shoot some pics.

                      $50- NOS AT 4U Server Case/PSU (no Rack Rails):



                      No idea how old this is... Mid 90's? No idea on the brand either, although the PSU may be a clue in a bit.



                      Plenty of goodies under the locked cover.

                      ThinkPad T400 fan in a 14.1in T61 widescreen?
                      by Digi
                      So, my cheap find has an issue with the fan being rattly, and as a result when I removed the heatsink and fan assembly, the glue and foil has perished from the fan and fins on the heatsink. At the moment I did buy a replacement fan but upon fitting, or trying to, it wasn't even a match.


                      Now I'm figuring out whether a T400 fan is compatible with my 14.1in T61 Intel-only widescreen, as all I'm looking for is a replaced fan and a working unit again.


                      I'd appreciate any input on this before I gallivant eBay and the like.

                      NT955XED (Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro - 15.6) BIOS dump file Request
                      by Citymin
                      Hi all,

                      My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
                      The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
                      When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
                      (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

                      NoteBook Model name : Samsung NT955XED-KK51G(Galaxy book2 pro, i5-1240p, 15.6inch AMOLED)
                      PCB model name : Venus2-15-5G(REV1.2), Venus2-15 ADL NPC

                      RTX 4060 Gigabyte Aero / FBVDDQ not switching on despite compatible IC swapping
                      by zwect
                      I got this Gigabyte Aero RTX 4060 where it initially wouldn't get detected, after disassembly i found that U504 (12v to 5v) was corroded at pin 1 together with it's ADJ resistors, i swapped them for close enough ones (it goes to a 1.02k resistor > 340ohm then 0hm > GND), i installed a 1k and 300ohm one and got 5v properly, fans would spin fine but card still wouldn't get detected, i've measured PEX present then found out that FBVDDQ was missing entirely, analyzing further, U15 was shorted at it's VCC pin (7), at the time i didn't have another exact model but got a TPS51211 instead, i checked...

                      MacBook Air M1 A2337 battery/charging issue
                      by drlarsen
                      Hello. Sorry for the long post, but I am trying to decide if this is a simple battery replacement, or potentially something more complicated.

                      I bought an open box MacBook Air M1 2020 A2337. Seller claimed it was never used. Visually, it appears pristine.

                      On arrival, the battery was completely flat. Computer powers up and boots fine. Battery status showing 1% and charging, 1 cycle. coconutBattery showing 0 mAh and ~6 watts.
                      After some hours, the battery status did not improve. Restore via DFU did not help.

                      I connected the power adapter to a Kill-a-Watt...
