Like to know if anyone has a S pen for a Galaxy Note II phone. I found one at the thrift store, no battery so i bought one and it turns on. Had to do hard reset to clear the pin.

Just want to mention that any s pen should work with the phone but it just won't fit into the silo except the one that is designed for the phone.

thanks and i do have a S pen that came w/ my wife's S6 lite that she's using. Only problem i have w/ the phone is when I turn it off, it wont turn back on unless I plug it into a charging cable and then turn it on again then remove the cable. I bought a new battery for it. It stays on with no problem

Sounds like a problem with the power switch or the power circuit. I bet a cell phone place could fix that.

Yep, that's normal operation for power switches these days. Gone are the days when they worked like real switches.

I have a laptop that behaves similarly, I'll have to try and see if a long press works for that. Thanks.
 
I picked up a handful of iPads and iPhones from a customer whos business burned down way back, they were his and his fathers, I finally finished going through them the other day, 2 iPads are still locked to there iCloud/Apple accounts but he (father has since passed) doesnt have any unlock or account info on them. (can provide a screenshot of my convo about unlock codes with him if wanted)
I did an iTunes restore and its a fresh install now, but still locked.
Anyone have use for them for parts? just cover shipping
Model A1566
Model A1670
-------both ipads gone

have him take both to the apple store and maybe they can help him on that
 
I thought of that, but the only reason I got them was because they were sitting on his dining room table for a year after closing the business, he was going to chuck them.

Yeah laptops work in a similar way except their power switches can stop working sooner than phones due to use, etc. Personally, I miss real switches. I hate losing 1/2 a second holding it in each time.
 
I've got the following:

Zagg Pro (I think) that was used maybe three times
A Surface Pro pen that was purchased in 2016-2017
Seagate 1RK172-566 1TB 2.5" 7mm platter HDD

I'll be able to ship them off starting January 28th

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5567 laptop. Basically it won't turn on. Hit power, nothing happens, no lights, no sounds. I don't know what's wrong and have no interest in messing with it. I pulled the sata ssd, ram, and wifi card but if anyone wants the rest they are welcome to it. It has an i7-7500u cpu in it. Shipping from 28025.

Last call on this before I toss it

Looking for a network unlocked GSM smartphone. Have a mid condition atat s7 I could trade. Which I guess I should root if I can't find anything.

Could also add some other stuff in a trade. Have 1u 560w supermicro psus I used for mining as well as old mining hardware that isn't worth much

Anyone need a Pi Zero / Pi Zero 2W case? They can fit the Pi Sugar (a 1200 mah Lithium battery board that made them portable). Printed two of them for someone who later backed out of a trade deal. I used my own Pi Zero 2W to test for fit.

I have a Thermaltake TT commander gaming kybd that was with some parts i had bought sometime ago and the backlight will come on when plugged into the usb port but none of the keys will work. Except the light key to turn off and on the backlight. Will trash it unless someone knows why its not working or wants it for parts.

Ok will give that a try.

Update: aquakeytest and another program that i tried but the kybd doesnt work. i did the led test w/ aquakey and the number and cap key lit up but nothing else happened. so i can assume this kybd is dead. Any takers for it?

Did you try it in a usb 1.2/2.0 port?
 
ISO 2 1 ATX power supplies. Nothing terribly fancy, like 400-500 watt would likely be fine.
Figure I can try to ask here, I am willing to pay a little though. Mad at myself because I just gave away a 500w unit about a month ago and now I need 2 of them lol

Who'd you give it to? You can always ask for it back, lol.
 
Had this listed FS as a Surface 3 but it's actually a Surface 2. See pic for specs - very weak... Comes with keyboard type cover and charger. Accepting only Zelle for this. $13 should cover shipping.
