Surface tablet 1 or 2? I tried the 2, it was really difficult to use. Surface 1 is more desirable (or anything but the Surface 2), if ya got one. Thanks.
 
Here we go :

To make a long story short these were sitting next to the dump at work because idiots at work don't know how to take care of things and they gave up on issuing them tablets. I took them because they seemed good for a simple tablet on my workbench. I have had these sitting in my closet for months.

Up for grabs or about swven surface 3 pro tablets Model 1631 = Surface 3 Pro. Core i5-4300U 1.90GHz 4GB RAM 128GB SSD.

  • Limit 1. I'm going to list this on another forum
  • None of them have a charger. You will need to get your own.
  • All of them have been charged to at least 50%
  • All of these have some dings on the sides.
  • Not all of them have keyboards.
  • Some of them have damaged keyboards.
  • at least one of these has a touch screen issue which i believe is a software issue.
  • Two of them have cracked screens (I'll save these for the end)
  • Some of them mismatched 8-in keyboards on a 10-in tablet.
  • All of them have been reformatted and a vanilla copy of Windows 10 installed by me.
I am not on here as much as i was before. Work and a new hobby has taken up a ton of my time. I'd prefer to ship these to anyone that wants one via usps flat rate. It will fit in a medium box.

Absolutely insane response for these. All of the good units fully functional with no cracks with a keyboard are currently on dibs to people awaiting shipping payment. I don't think i have enough packing material for everyone lol.

I used pirateship and bought my own USPS Priority Mail Medium Flat rate box and used 404's address as the return address and PM'ed him the PDF of the label to get one shipped to me. Thank you very much, 404

Yours is already packed up. Just need to print your label. About to pack up a second one for a member here now.
 
These went incredibly fast. There are however two working units still pending awaiting shipping payment.

All that's left are two " working " units. One has a long crack on the glass which strangely enough is barely visible when the unit is turned on however it does prevent you from using the touch screen feature and the keyboard is missing two keys.

The second unit overall looks nice but does not hold a charge. I also have a spare here with a completely cracked screen which can be used as a donor.

A super longshot here, but does anyone in Southeast Mi have a 4u rackmount case they want to get rid of for free or cheap as hell?

Got my SP3 Tuesday. Thanks 404 much appreciated!

I have a charger I can use from my Surface Laptop 4. Installed W11 Enterprise at first, but just can't get the feel for W11 yet so I went back to W10 Pro (for Workstations). Was thinking of putting ChromeOS Flex on it, but since Android Apps don't work on Flex most likely won't.

Will work out great for my purpose. Now time to find an I and O key lol
 
I thought I'd update yall on my box of fans. I put the 12x12 box of fans on craigslist free. It was sitting at the curb for about 8 hours until a middle aged Asian guy in a ~2002 Mercedes SLK convertible pulled up and loaded it in his trunk. Put em to use my dude, put em to use. (y)

Sadly, this means I parted ways with an iconic USPS mailing box C. Hate to see em go, but love to watch em leave. :ROFLMAO:

Anybody have an adapter for dual-link DVI to either hdmi or displayport?
I picked up locally a Dell 3007wfp monitor but it only supports dual-link DVI. All I have at the house are single-link adapters to HDMI, so the monitor is capped at 1280x800. I apparently may also need a dual-link cable, if anybody has one laying around.

skip the adapter and get a cable on amazon for $8.
 
I agree that getting a cable would have less of an issue. Even with single link adapter, you should still able to get to 1080p resolution but that sometimes would depend on the adapter or the cable. I think I have a few dvi cables laying around but I think they are all single link and not dual-linked. I will let you know if I find a dual link cable.

You 100% need an adapter to run the monitor off displayport or HDMI. These work the best:
https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DisplayPort-DVI-Adapter-Dual-Link/dp/B00A493CNY
That style works great. You can find them on ebay for $20-30. I went through 3 styles of dual-link dvi to DP adapters before I settled on that one, and then I later upgraded to a U3011. Native displayport has no sleep issues. For example, when you plug in a dual-link DVI to DP adapter into a laptop, and close the lid, the monitor may not shut off with the laptop or turn on with the laptop.

This is a very long shot but anybody in TN with a 2018 or newer Mac. I’m trying to revive my lady’s MacBook Air 2020 T2 bridge but I need to use a Mac with USB C to do so.

I wonder if you can bring your laptop to an apple store (if you have one nearby) and have them do it for you (even if it maybe out of warranty) as they would have tons of macs. ,
