I had an LG G2 which had touch screen dead spots. I tried to replace the LCD/digitizer but now the phone won't turn on and just flashes a red light. I have 9 months left on my AT&T contract so I'm looking for suggestions on a new no-contract/unsubsidized phone. To complicate matters I need a...

Man do I feel stupid... What I originally thought was a PCI-Express video card power connector was the 4 pin 12V connector. With that plugged in and the 20+4 main power connection everything is working fine. Thanks for the help.

I just finished putting together an HTPC and when I hit the power button the fans and hdd whirl up, but nothing ever appears on the screen. I've tried VGA and HDMI outputs from the motherboard, and two different monitors, but still the same situation. I think it may be a power issue; the power...

I just modded a 120gig hdd about 3 weeks ago for my xbox and the new update didn't ban me from live so I wouldn't worry about that. More to the point, what you'd need to upgrade to a 250gig hdd is the drive manufacturer and model #, and a backup of the firmware from an MS 250gig hdd, a quick...

Do schools today really make you supply your own CADD system? I went to school for Mechanical Engineering from 2000-2004 and we had a full CADD lab in the ME building with (then) huge 22" monitors and extremely fast computers. I think a laptop capable of any decent CADD experience is going to...

Sounds like refurbs are probably the way to go. With the pending announcement from Apple would it be a good idea to hold off the purchase of a Touch or Nano?

Has anyone bought a refurbished iPod from apple.com? According to the site they're fully tested, cleaned, burned-in, blah blah blah. Basically I'm concerned I'll get a perfectly functioning iPod with a scratched housing/screen. Any input/opinions would be appreciated.

I guess it isn't fixed yet because I did exactly that last night as soon as I got my replacement and although my gamertag was able to access all the XBLA content, other gamertags were not. Thanks for the link!

The UPS guy came around 6pm today and dropped off my replacement 360 (2007-07-04). First thing I did was re-download all my XBLA games so they'd work if I wasn't online, and that worked just fine, I have full access. Problem now is, if my girlfriend signs in with her gamertag (different...

Before I can make any recommendations, what are you looking for? A huge drive (I think 320GB is the biggest laptop drive out there), speed (7200rpm, 200gig is the biggest I think) or best bang for you buck (5400rpm)?

I filled out an online request for a coffin Friday around 6pm and it was waiting for me when I got home Wednesday. Sorry to hear about the dead box, I feel your pain.

I recently did the same because I decided to go back to school, and with my 360 I found myself gaming on the PC less and less. Although it was a little difficult at first (less PC for more money, slower to start etc.) I wouldn't trade it back now. Give it a shot and if you don't like it you...

I tried every single PSX game I own and none worked properly. With FF8 I got to the opening credits but when I pressed start to go to New Game/Continue I got a blue screen, no sound, and nothing further. Tried some more PS2 games and they all work perfectly. I guess I'm just out of luck on...

When i switch to RGB I get no picture at all, absolutely nothing. When I switch back to YPbPr I get the issue of PSX games not booting properly. I'll try a few more things and report back.

I did enable component and I am able to play PS2 games without issue. That's what I figured, I guess I'll be sticking with composite, thanks for your help.
