Many such cases. You're either going to have to take it into a shop or get a new one.

replacement laptop dc port is $15 and all you need is a precision screwdriver set to open the average laptop which again is like $15. the newest "ultra thin" laptop which is glued on the sides needs a box cutter which is like $10. maybe if ur a yuppie throwing away $200 is nothing but then you belong on /g/ or reddit with the other rich normies

sorry didnt mean a mock, just a thread derailing train of thought bout fixing stuff in general, cuz before i looked at that video i was under impression that those were soldered to the edge of the board, never paid attention

I still maintain that the old mini-usb or whatever it was called was the best one. For a "universal" standard serial port there sure are a lot of different shitty variations LOL.

 No.95396

electronics aren't designed to last, it's not enough to just mandate a port because they can intentionally design it to be as flimsy as possible. if the EU were smarter they would've at least also mandated 5-year warranty for port-related failures for all phones above 200 euros msrp

uh, it's totally my fault. I can probably stick the cables in some place insetad of constantly touching them and pushing them for bed....

it's funny how conivnient I found such thread.
My PC starts making weird noises now, probably from videocard, I think it might be related to not getting enough power, however it started rather abruptly so most unlikely.

I want to send it but i have 4080... so, this shit is heavy to take with yourself....
I wonder how I should go about that shit.

I need some kind of cart wheel, my progress has been deleted TWICE already because for some reason it would crash or when i put it to sleep mode die off.
And of course, yyes, I am using Intel! How did you figure out?!!!! :F

it's getting worse, friends. I have to use a clothes pin the hold the charger in the exact position so that it charges. i bought a replacement charger from jeff bezos but it's soldered into the board and my soldering skills aren't that good. plus the replacement port is non-OEM and i don't know if it'll even work right even if i do solder it perfectly.

why must things fall apart? how does any man cope with the knowledge that everything we hold dear in this life will eventually vanish with the sands of time?

It's one thing if you're too retarded to google your operating system issue like I was (thanks for the save, Codefella), but an actual hardware failure is a whole different thing, gnomesaiyan?

i only have like $200 to my name. i have a credit card with $4500 limit but i'm not sure i want to become a debt slave to the jewish reptilian credit card usurers to fix an issue i can just fix with a clothes pin. i've been thinking about it though. i've never been in debt and i was thinking in the long run, who cares if my credit score goes down? this entire soyciety is run on debt slavery. i will probably never buy a house any way.

if i open a gofundme, will chon users donate? i only need about $1500 bucks for a comparable laptop. i also have a part time job starting next month but it'll barely pay for gas to get to the job.

You're mogging me, I've had a rough couple of years. I have $415 in my checking account and $8 in my savings-I'm also $14k in debt, LOL. Debt isn't the end of the world in a pinch, if you pay it off quickly you minimize the amount of money you give to the Globalists. I make double/triple payments most months so I'll have this debt wiped in less than two years and will likely end up having been tithed <$2,000 or so in the process. That sounds bad but making minimum payments on a loan can actually leave you paying WAY MORE than what your debt started at, lmfao.

That said, I would NOT spend that much money on a credit card, I've only ever been penalize for using my card, all my credit has been built through personal loans.

There's people out there that make livings entirely by exploiting the debt cycle. They make small businesses, get maximum business loans, buy assets that cannot be repossessed or assets that can be protected somehow, then declare chapter 7 bankruptcy double check this, there's two kinds of bankruptcy, one that makes you a debt slave (bad) and one that liquidates your assets (good for those without assets). They do this every seven years when the debt cycle resets

it would cost you less to have a repair shop replace the charging port that you bought

or even cheaper if u bought urself a thin-tipped soldering iron, thin-tipped desoldering pump and digital multimeter and replaced it urself

$97 Mini PC
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0868Z5ZHB
Core i5-6500T, 16GB RAM, 256GB SATA SSD, comes w/ mouse & keyboard

$117 Mini PC
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTMLSX6H
Ryzen 5 2400GE, 16GB RAM, 256GB SATA SSD, comes w/ mouse & keyboard

2400GE has a much better iGPU for gaming than the i5-6500T. Only get the cheaper i5-6500T if you never game at all.

Then go on ebay and facebook marketplace, set maximum price to $80 and search monitor, filter for "buy it now", filter for open box, used, and refurbished, and find yourself a 1080p IPS monitor. Don't forget HDMI-to-whatever cable if not included.

If you already have a monitor then spend a little more ($143) for 512GB SSD.

Then try fixing your laptop charging port since you'd at least have this mini PC as a backup.

i open up my laptop and realized the charging port i bought is wrong, the pins won't even fit. i also cleaned my fans a little bit and i guess i broke the bearings because now the cpu fan is rattling adding insults to my injuries. i also have a usb-c charging port on the side but it doesn't seem to charge while the laptop is on.

>>102556
best buy offers financing options through shiti bank. i can make $90/mo payments for the next 18 months to get the laptop i want according to their website. how is that any different than using the credit card i already have? i bought this asus G14 back in 2020, it has a 2060 in it. the new version blows it out of the water for the same price i paid back then.

and that eternal hoard of wires and dongles and spare whatevers is needed for flexibility and comfort so that u can plug in anything at any arrangement and dont have to order new ones from chyna

"borrow" unused cables from the local library
