HP Envy x360: Replace the CMOS battery

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 05:10:55 -0700

The laptop isn't charging. I've been told the CMOS battery may need to be replaced but I can't find it on the mother board. Is this one of the cases where the CMOS is replaced by the main battery?

Samsung Laptop: Screen became black all of a sudden (PHOTOS INCLUDED)

samsung np sa 31

Hi guys, I'm new here and really hope I can get some help :)

I was using my laptop normally, I turned it off, by pressing the power button and then closing the lid if I remember correctly since I was in a hurry.

After coming back to the device, the screen just wouldn't turn on! It just stayed black.

I tried everything. Messed around with the BIOS, reconnected the LCD cable, repositioned the RAM sticks and tried to run it with only one of the sticks, removed the CMOS battery and then placed it back, tried to clear static via power button, and much more, INCLUDING buying a whole new screen! The same problem still persists.

The laptop is fully working when connected to an external display via VGA cable, you can see everything on the screen when you flash with a flashlight on it (same for the original LCD and the brand new one I bought).

I have no idea what's wrong. I fully disassembled the laptop and I will add imaged of the motherboard, to me, nothing seems out of place and no fuses are burnt (the heat sink was removed for the sake of the photo), but maybe you guys will know what to look for and I'm just missing something.

Thank you !!!

Custom built desktop PC: good guides for replacing a power supply?

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 01:32:55 -0700

i did a bunch of research and i am reasonably certain that my power supply (Gamdias Kratos M1 550b) is failing. I’ve bought a replacement (MSI MAG A750GLS PCIE5), and I know that I’ll need to rewire the whole thing—I’ve read you should use all the cables that come with the new power supply. my PC was professionally built, but I am not a professional! I feel I can do it myself but, when I started taking my PC apart, I realized I don’t want to do this without studying up some first. what do you recommend i look at? i saw a few things here, but I don’t know enough to know which products/setups (if any) might be close enough, or which other components are critical to know about. (reading preferred over video, but video guides acceptable). the manual for the product is unhelpful to a regular person.

Also, when I began taking my PC apart, i noticed that the cables were held in place with tiny zipties. as my pc is a mini form factor, i imagine space inside there is quite limited. am i gonna need to invest in some mini zipties if i ever want to close my case again?

Dell XPS 13 9310: replacing cracked front glass on screen

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:49:10 -0700

Due to a recent drop, although the display is fine, there is a fine crack and small shattered corner on just the glass. I'm wondering if that can be replaced without replacing the entire screen and outer case.

Thanks for any pointers.
