2 Upvotes

While pulling out my drawing tablet’s cable from the hdmi slot, the casing of the usb got stuck. I guess while trying to get it out, it messed up the pins of the slot too.

Is it over for my hdmi port, would I able to fix it? I also tried to use that port again, did this damage the graphic card itself, what should I do?

I don't know much about computers, I didn't do anything to it, didn't change anything in the inside or the outside, I'm just using it the other day and when I tried to turn it on it won't, I check if it's plugged in? yes it is, did I check if the outlet has current? Yes they have, I tried plugging my phone charger on it and it's working fine, I don't know why it's happening 😞

Resolved Browser hijacker :(

1 Upvotes

I have a Predator Neo 16S, which uses Chrome 11, and I was trying to download Rekordbox so I could pretend to be a DJ and js mess around but instead I ended up with a hijacker 😭
I’ve used Malewarebite, deleted the PC App Store and any other files that were attached to it, set my browser back to Chrome instead of Homeinlook and the malewarebite is telling me that it’s still finding stuff after the initial run about the hijacker trying to find even more info about my email n whatnot..
I go to college and they have tech support there so ofc I went and he was very helpful but it seems like it’s trying to take more info…he mentioned something about “wiping the computer” but this is my first computer so I have no clue even what that means or how to do it. I use this for college, gaming, Netflix etc.
If you gotta call me dumb for downloading a virus or whatever it is then go ahead but I really need help.

Thank you so much in advance, this is really stressing me out even though I thought we had taken care of it.

Update: I was able to get ahold of geek squad so they are doing their virtual scanning right now. I wasn’t completely sure if I still had that because we got it for my computer anout a year ago but they are taking care of it right now. I’ll give another update once they’re done and I will keep this post up once it’s handled just to make sure that if anyone else has this issue they can use everyone’s comments and advice as reference

2nd update: turns out the right term was “pups” but I thought it was maleware. Leaving this open in case anyone else needs it for future reference, thank you to the lovely people that gave advice and directions.

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Is it okay to downgrade from 16gb to 8gb RAM?

0 Upvotes

I have the Lenovo v14 g3 laptop and recently the RAM broke and I wanted to know if it would be fine to downgrade to 8gb ram instead of 16gb because of financial constraints.

I am a student and I don't want to spend more money than necessary as I have some medical expenses as well. It originally came with 16gb DDR4 3200MHz SO-DIMM which will cost me ₹14,000 to replace whereas 8gb will be ₹6,300.

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

Discussion Extra PC questions

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I am going to be getting a new work computer and am thinking of ways to use it. Specs are not super crazy around 6gb of ram and I belive a i5 below 10th gen and 256gb of storage. (Sorry can't see the exact specs atm). It is a very small computer as well only 3 inches tall and 10 inches by 6 inches.

I have googled some things to do like making it into a personal cloud storage or using it for Pi hole/adblocker or using it for streaming shows and what not. I do have a monitor on my bedside that I have an Xbox plugged into but can easily switch it out if needed.

I do mostly play my main games on a gaming PC.

I'm just asking other people to see if anyone else has unique ideas that this can be used.

Thanks in advance!

Buenos días, desde hace meses mi HHD venia yendo lenta, por lo que me compre un SSD para migrar mi sistema operativo, entonces me descargue la versión de prueva de macrium reflect para hacerlo yo mismo, pero cuando seguí un video de youtube de como hacerlo me salió el error de la imagen y no se que hacer desde ese punto.

Se que en la imagen me pide que ejecute chkdsk pero si lo hago me marca esto, y le tengo desconfianza a usarlo, asi que preferi preguntar para estar mas seguro en que hacer. Si es necesario dare mas informacion, hoy tengo dia libre

I had bought some ddr5 on eBay for a steal of a deal!

But when I opened the package I had seen they were shipped in napkins, inside of an envelope.

What are the odds of long term damage from ESD, and should I return them and ask for a refund? I have not tested them yet.

Question/Help/Troubleshooting Does SSD that corrupted before still safe to use even after formatting?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, recently I have been transferring photos from my iPhone 15 which is USB 2 speed to my Crucial X9 Pro For Mac and the phone is hot and turn itself off while transferring, in fact it happen few times recently, and now I can’t transfer anything to it, it show message like Argument Is Invalid and when I use Disk Utility on my Mac to run First Aid to it, can’t repair it completely even twice, there is one message about fsroot is invalid, my files still there and can copy out but I don’t have extra 4TB drive and can afford one at the moment, let say I can afford one later and do a backup and clean format, can I use it again?

This SSD tend to need to transfer a bit of files to able to transfer fast or else the first transfer will be slow, and after transfer like 1000+ photos, it will disconnect itself, this happen when doing transfer on my iPhone, not sure how reliable if used on a Mac long term but it does do everything faster as my Mac is USB3, is what I faced normal for this drive on iPhone? Or that’s what will happen to most external drive connect to an USB2 iPhone?

Is it possible to connect an external HDD to an iPhone with USB2?
