      You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

      Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

              Depends on the equipment (some don't care, I know) but in general, there's a reason they're only supposed to go in one way...

                Re: Would you read my reviews in english?

                There's a poll: http://hardwareinsights.com/forum/vi...php?f=29&t=963 Most of you are registered there as well as I've checked…

                Basically besides PSU reviews, I have tens of articles from DiiT I can translate about repairing stuff (displays mostly) plus new are still coming and I can translate them as well. I guess there will be nothing new for pro's like tom66, but maybe the rest of you guys can learn something new.

                And I could learn something too, for example about those bloody chinese UPS which are troubling me lately

                Last but not least, the site needs visitors…and it won't get any without the content

                      I've been on CeBIT last week and got a nice chat with ppl from XFX, Be Quiet!, Chieftec, Fractal Design, Seasonic and not so nice chat, but still some contact for LC-Power, Enermax and Thermaltake. Will make some short report and as soon as I finish my review quota, start ordering new samples

                      I am especially looking forward to that passive 550W Enermax unit…will keep ya posted.

                            And review http://www.hardwareinsights.com/wp/e...-fanless-unit/

                            So far I am the only one who disassembled the rectification module and discovered what cable thickness is used.

                                  Padding and other stuff was removed to accomodate more content (bigger pictures) and room for advertisement. While there still none as there is too little to offer ATM, I am serious with this website and I want it to generate money in future, as the number of visitors increases. Padding is just wasting space

                                  Fixl'd, thanks. Seems that my spellchecker needs spellchecking

                                    Got to say I am loving the reviews... So much more in-depth than the whitewash over at Jonny Cockroach.

                                    That guy runs so many PSUs through the ringer in such a short time, it's as if buying new cars for spoiled children is going out of style.

                                      Yeah Wolf is falling behind slightly, lately. TPU constantly has new equipment, I am trying too…should get power breaker to measure hold-up time soon (it is constantly getting some delay). Next I would like to start some crowdfund for new (though chinese but still way better) entry-level professional wattmeter. With that I will have by a magnitude better accuracy of power, pwoer factor and even could measure THD for compliance with harmonics legislative.

                                          And the review is out http://www.hardwareinsights.com/wp/c...r-than-before/

                                          The testing methodology and evaluation methodology has been changed - price has been removed. There are future plans for comparison table from next review. Stay tuned!

                                          Anybody recognizes the polymers used?

                                            Foreign language OCR?
                                            by Hondaman
                                            I'm good at starting projects but never really completing them. So I think I'll start another one. Back in April 2024, a book was published, for the first time, in English ("Passcode to the Third Floor Secretariat"). So I don't need to use OCR and online translation portals for that one. But another book, "Fully Controlled Areas", ISBN 978-89-90959-28-7, has not been translated to English and probably never will be. (And I have got the only copy I will ever have, trust me). Lots of crude, hand-drawn illustrations of people starving and getting executed in North Korea. The...

                                            Need help diagnosing why my TV isn't working anymore
                                            by choucroutman
                                            Hello, my LG OLED55C8PLA TV stopped working, and here's what happened:
                                            Around noon, it stopped turning on, meaning the screen stayed off, I heard a ticking sound when I tried to power it on, and the red LED light blinked 3 times. Afterward, nothing would happen for about 1 minute, and then the same cycle would repeat. A few days later, there was no more red LED blinking, and whether I tried turning it on with the remote or the power button on the back, it wouldn’t respond. I’ve tried some "quick fixes" I found online, like unplugging the TV and pressing the power button for...

                                            Hello from Romania here I present you the working EZP2025 without using locale editor sent to me by the developer.
                                            It works without having to tweak it with locale emulator..
                                            I sent mails to the developer and he was kind enough to send me the fixed version which is not having the richedit error....
                                            Please save it and share it on other forums as well as the chinese man said he can not upload it on his website....strange....
                                            EZP 2025 works only with this version so it will not work with older versions..........

                                            Hello everyone,

                                            I like to repair everything I can get my hands on.
                                            A friend gave me a laptop that fell down while it was switched on.
                                            Now the display remains dark and the laptop no longer boots up.

                                            Since my English is not so good, I worked with a translation tool. Please excuse me if something is not translated correctly.

                                            Normally this device is not in a price category where you have to grit your teeth, but I really want to find the error and learn something in the process

                                            Details of the device:

                                            Manufacturer: Lenovo...

                                            820-02020 Super Weird Issue: Keyboard Input Character Map "Wrong"?
                                            by ugamazing
                                            So, I have a really bizarre issue that I'm struggling to identify the cause of. Working on an 820-02020 board with some bizarre keyboard/input-source character mapping. My suspicion is a possible damaged SPI ROM (U1970), perhaps, but I'm really not sure in this case:

                                            1. The issue is pretty weird, but when installing MacOS, I noticed my WiFi password did not work. I quickly realized the special characters (!@#$%^& etc) were not mapping correctly.

                                            2. I noticed the keyboard layout/input-source is defaulting to JAPANESE every single time I restore the board. I am not...
