Ghetto Mods

You know that 20/24 pin extension cables exist, yeah?

I have one of these PSU's i use for testing, and i use a 20 pin extender + a 4 to 8 pin extender/adaptor for the CPU plug

Makes life a lot less... fire-hazardy.


Edit: Thanks to extensions becoming cool for gamers, the cheaper ones often are designed for dual PSU use - you can just cut the extra connector off

my friend's mouse is broken, then he tried to fix it with super glue, but too bad he put that too much then the 2nd time he drop it and no way to tight it up coz the screw is not work and the thread is gone
so using clear tape to fix it up, i know it's kinda annoying but there's no complain. it means everything is ok

just bought AC3200, the seller stated that the body cracked

and put superglue then add shred paper to reinforce

 

[freeagent]

Does the paper really help? I can sort of see it helping, but not sure..

from the looks, yes
some say use baking soda to make the bonding better, but i don't have baking soda
from what i tried it help the glue cure better and minimizing white residue/ stressing the plastic

It 's like paper machete or particle board/veneer

its from brown cardboard
i shred the paper then i scrape the paper using knife leaving it to fiber

Im saying the process

yeah, coz i think when you make like that the glue will easier to fill it up and giving more solid result

 

[eidairaman1]

Which it did add extra strength. I use plastic welder epoxy lol

Baking soda and super glue does, it's pretty instant too.

 

[Mussels]

I just... use glue.

I cant tell if you lot are weird, or i am.

Both. I have used the technique above before. But I've also been even more ghetto and used donor pieces of plastic and a soldering iron to melt the cracked plastic back together. Like you though, I've use glue to just glue the cracks and call it good.

That's an interesting technique - do you just sprinkle baking soda onto already applied superglue, do you add it beforehand, or do you somehow mix them before applying?

I've used this thousand times. Including repairing my car bumper. You generously apply the glue first and sprinkle on top. It solidifies almost instantly. You can grind it down later on with a dremel or sanding paper or whatever. It can fix pretty nasty plastic breaks where only glue will not hold it together.

Damn, I wish I knew this last week when I was unsuccessfully trying to superglue a broken screw mount in a laptop. That would have been a good thing to try it out on. I'll keep it in mind though, thanks for the explainer

 

[micropage7]

not mine but my friend's
i dunno how they ruin their cable charger, not only once but many

and from the last router that i bought, i realize the 2.4ghz is pretty bad, first i think it's from not compatible or whatsoever then i tried reflashing with older firmware and i got the same result
now i suspect something not right and the IC is burned, i dunno i should feel lucky or not the 5ghz is still good

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

the IC is burned

thats going too far! its only been slightly overheated and thats really dust on the top!

nope, i've checked it and actually the white spot is a hole on the chip so that ic is dead

Oh. I C what you did there.

 

[micropage7]

area that close to the coil always blacked by residue, i guess it's pretty common problem
nothing special, just peel the sticker and layering the place so it won't affect the plastic
