a country boy should have no trouble with a 50lb pc nevermind a 100lb pc!
Hi Nick, now that your water cooling is down you can take the fitting that is too long and cut it shorter. You need a bench vise and grinder. A welders shop can fix it in about a minute. Since you're not overclocking, I recommend a third party heatsink Sythe Mugen 5. I have 4 of them going including my main rig. When the fans speed up it's not very long. The upgrade you mentioned, the am4 5000 series cpu and board prices are getting better. Am5 is way too fast, unless you start serious gaming or video editing for Hollywood, am4 is probably the perfect setup for home computing. Water cooling and Murphys law!
My main rig has a ryzen 5 4650 pro w/ b550 board, 64g 2666 ram, Samsung 980pro boot drive. I have been running Linux mint as daily os and windows 10 pro in vm. I used the license key from my old threadripper and have built win 10 into a serious virtual pc. I have 2 in 1 going quite often. If you upgrade to ryzen 7 5700g, loose the gpu and try the Mugen 5, I think you will be happy.
Thanks for this. I’m planning to use coolant to prevent corrosion. You are a massive help friend 😃
Zen 1 was a really efficient architecture (aside from the X variants having a stupid +20 degree offset for whatever reason) Heck even a 5900XT / 5950X would have no issue running off of decent air cooling like the Noctua NH-D15
I dont know if you will see this after 2 years after you post this video but i have the exact laptop that you have and mine dosent see the usb drive and i dont know what to do
I found for my netbook just plain stock Debian ended up being even the so called "light" distros like Q4OS and Linux light and with H.264ify I could even run 720p YT videos without issue.

What motherboard components can cause a computer to randomly freeze?
Failing capacitors is one... not as common with newer motherboards, but it was very common in the late 90s and 2000s for caps to fail. When they fail, they can cause instability, as if the CPU was running an unstable overclock.
@@CubeComputerChannel This motherboard is from 2015 an acer m6630g and all the caps are smd can type. I don't know if they show signs of blowing like the old electrolytic cans. Is there a way to test them?
@@meblake7359 Sometimes they can, but not always. Those are a pain to remove and you could end up damaging the board trying to repair it.
Anyone know if there will be (or has been) updates that will cause units with TPM 1.2 to lag or crash later? For some reason, Microsoft may include those to mess with systems they say aren't supported, and is focused on that damn TPM. My older laptop runs fine with Win10Pro, so until that OS is no longer supported next year, I'll wait to change it. I'd rather have Win11 on it, because I like it better on my newer laptop, but don't want to damage a good machine for relatively no good reason. If I knew it would update later with no issues, I'd do it. This is the best installation procedure I have seen. Outstanding!
Now you will get the new nag screen that says since your computer isn't able to upgrade to Windows 11 you should buy a new computer! It's full screen, and has no option to Close it your only option is to click Remind me Later, believe it or not. And believe me in just a few days it will in fact pop up again (you clicked Remind me Later after all... and again that's your only option to close the nag screen, "Remind me Late"). Microsoft needs to have a class action lawsuit against them for this crap. Google Search for InControl and follow the directions on that app, it appears to stop ALL Windows 11 upgrade nag screens.
just happend to me (hp envy) and scared the s*** out of me. I would have never thought companies would do this. I knew enough to be scared but not enough that this was the case.
Awesome explanation on something I always thought was a transformer.
Those mobo beep sounds always give me anxiety.
I have 2 kzg 1000uf 16v caps that blew on my 2007 motherboard, but what can I use to replace them?
Any electrolytic low-ESR capacitor matching the diameter, voltage, and capacitance (uf) of the ones on the motherboard. Stick with reputable brands such as Rubycon, Nichicon, Panasonic, etc.
@@CubeComputerChannel Thank You!
What about deleting all videos? I got his yesterday with the invalid traffic on my channel. Also, they said to turn off monetization for a week. Not just a few days
I took down my whole channel for 2 days and that only briefly got rid of the message.
Instructions unclear cannot intiate the “preparing automatic repair”
I got the magicJack also been a long time customer probably 10 to 15 years at this point. Do you still have your house phone through magicJack? I know this video was like 4 years ago. But I still got mine plus I just got a new cordless phone well new to me it was used AT&t phone manufactured in 2000, but it works good I did have to get a battery for it though.
my reusable k-cups worked great for many months but has now started to leak out the top, you can see the top lid pops open. Sometimes I can snap the lid shut and resume, but the machine pours really slow, dribbles. I think this might be my problem too, not enough pressure or seal at the top to hold it down. Has no issues with regular k-cups, only the reusable ones.
nice! Big help I thought I had to buy a pcie Ethernet add on.
It won’t be able to run 24H2 sadly
My optiplex 780 is still good on Windows 10
Dude this s mide shit had me pissed. Spent 400 bucks on a brand new lonovo laptop with windows 11 and tried to install steam and got denied. Thank you man.
It works perfectly thank so much
Wow! Thanks a lot, I had this problem for sooo loong, now I just erased the and copy the loading info and it boots fine, thanks a lot.
The SkuPolicyRequired was already set to 0, but the BIOS does not allow you to disable secure boot.
Who owns Autozone?
thank you very much. this was very helpful.
same problem same fix for PCIe FE family controller (also same driver installer), except it was an update install (23H2) on unsupported hardware from a clean 10 that was working just fine a couple of hours ago, so that's dumb. thanks. should have known something was up when it took 4 attempts to even finish the install. the workaround there was to unplug the network cable and do it offline
I was looking into this because I found an old bookmark for the site. Now when you load the site, images don't show up a lot of the time, and when you click on an image it gives an "access denied" error. it appears it's slowly getting outdated to a point where it can't access the backend or something. i thought at 1st it was an issue with my browser, so I tried firefox, and the same thing happened. i do wonder who is still paying for the hosting though. your video was 2 years ago as of this comment, and the site is STILL going. according to some whois data, the registration was updated 2023-09-14. maybe someone died, which they were the sole administrator or something, and their bank account is setup to have automatic renewal? How long can that go on? i mean, obviously one part would be that hypothetical bank accounts emptying or closing, but....youd think that by now if it was somehow that someone died, that they bank account would have been closed by now. once i saw the images not loading, i didn't even THINK to add things to my cart. but, now when you try, you get a "this site can't be reached" and "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" error. it was apparently based on yahoo, but its not the usual com, its a net, which you did see in the video. its so weird to watch a site slowly get outdated like this. i wonder what would happen in it just...kept going. what would it look like in 10 years if it's already having issues with image loading and you can't access the cart?
How do I get the protective plastic protector off of the camera
Awful audio. That laptop DOES NOT have 18650 batteries. You are full of crap!
errr............. Start11 had a v2 update........ still really sucks.... makes it look pretty, but...... Startallback is better still........
Startallback makes control panel crash all the time.
@@MyGasher have never experienced that 🤷🏻♂️ or any issues come to think of it, just have had the occasional bug where if I try to make it transparent it doesn't work, or it does work but it doesn't stay, that's all..
YOu are the best
For me it says " "find" is not recognized as an internal or external command, an executable program or batch file."
Someone should update the design for a quality 12v PSU and maybe a place to stage the last or next four cells.
My aunt used one of these for college work and other things a while back. She left it in her mom's basement as junk. I plugged it in one day to see if it worked and it did, only off the power cord though, so the only thing wrong with it is the main battery and the CMOS battery for keeping the date and time as far as I know.
Nice Work! Thx for good tips!
Isn’t it a crime making or disturbing such counterfeit products. A company HANOFAR PTE sent me exactly a similar product from California.
Thank you for posting this DIY. I have a similar vintage Whirlpool which was leaving lint and residue. I had planned to tear down, clean the tubs and reassemble. Mine was stored in a dry room but is absolutely filled with caked on residue from fabric softener and stuff being left in p pockets etc Ive stalled as i can't get inner tub out. It looks like corrosion on the span but and drive block, lots of gunk and these have fused to the brake tube. I got the nut out with very heavy hammer force but tub is stuck. The tub is quite expensive and is a special order part so im debating if i try to do what you did and use an oscillating tool to cut or i may pull the whole transmission and motor out from bottom and try to pry brake tube out from bottom. Id need tube AND tub then, but maybe less headache. But at that price i need to think about just getting a new machine. I've sprayed penetrating oil into that tube and on block for a few days now and not showing any signs of budging. Thanks for the video. Real world conditions. 90% of the vids make it look like this tub just pops up with a bit of wiggling.
Even if you have to spend $300 on a new tub, it's worth fixing one of these old machines versus the new HE junk sold at Lowe's and HD.
@@CubeComputerChannel Thank you. That's what I'm thinking too but if I need anything else it starts to add up quick. I just priced the brake and tub and it's like 500 C$ assuming nothing else damaged.
@@Lazerbeam323ci Try to order parts from Amazon... sites like RepairClinic mark up parts big time. I paid less than $300 USD for the tub in mine. Have you used cleaners like Affresh? There's another product I've seen on Amazon like Affresh for cleaning residue out of machines like this. I believe there are a few other methods on getting the lock nut to free from the tub. I used the hacksaw route since the tub in mine was already done for and why I was in there to begin with.
Thanks bro, your video worked for me
Thank you for this video, it's the only one that provided a solution to get out of S mode jail in my new el cheapo HP N4120 laptop with a few tweaks related to security mode for the HP (my recollection is that disabling secure boot wasn't in the security menu but another menu in the same menu accessed by hitting F2) . Bottom line, I was able to download Google Chrome!
Regarding the Sanyo CG10 Dual Camera mod I am curious why a less invasive option was not considered. These Camera's came originally with an External battery attachment option. I have tried to find one but to no avail. if you look at the bottom left hand side of the battery compartment you see a Cable groove running from the battery to the external area. I assume that Sanyo had a Dummy Battery inserted into this location with an External battery lead running through this Grove to the outside. My thought is to gut an existing battery and wire it from these connectors of the Gutted Battery itself to the outside Extended battery without modifying any of the Camera housing or instigating any damage from the original. Would be interested in why it was not considered.
I did this mod specifically because I have a lot of bare 18650 cells harvested from laptop batteries and wanted to mod the camera to accept them. The 18650s, especially paired together in parallel, offer a significantly longer runtime than the original battery. The more high-end models such as the CG102 and CG20 allow for external power from a 5V source.
Hi! is it worth getting powershot s40??
Your smartphone would do better than any of the cameras shown in this old video!
I purchased one like that for 20 euros purely because of accessories my SJCAM didn't have 😅
I can’t even tell you how helpful this was. The fact that so many people (including myself) were experiencing issues getting out of S mode is mind blowing. Endless forums, endless hours. And then I found this. You are a god send, thank you so so much!
Glad this was helpful! Too bad KZread buries this video in favor of the videos from big channels with the checkmark next to their name.
Fresh installed Windows 11 23H2 three hours ago. I didn't have any idea why it crashes when I connect the Ethernet cable. MS fucked up its default driver
Makes me wonder if they did it on purpose as assuming any computer needing this specific driver would not meet their EliteClass system requirements for Windows 11...
@@CubeComputerChannel At least we showed Microsoft who to mess with
Hi. I cleaned and serviiced my printhead changed with new cartridges and the printer still gives me message " one or more cartridges appears to be damaged etc...". Any hint? Thanks
This will sometimes happen with knockoff cartridges. Try removing all cartridges and the printhead, then reinstall everything and see if the message goes away.
I am having the same problem did that work using the other computer to do the fresh install?
As soon as it activated, it went back into S mode... with the clean install. I have videos on how to get out of S mode without the need to sign in with a Microsoft account.
This laptop is driving me nuts trying to get an OS on it. It's my buddies it was locked up from bitlocker and his wife can't remember any passwords because of Chemo. Asked them if they wanted a fresh install thinking I can handle that.... end up with Ubuntu on it trying to get something working. Should have stopped while it was working with that instead I tried again to get windows back on it now can't get anything to work lunix getting some errors while tiring to Format and partition disk. So I'm thinking of trying to take the m.2 out and try it on a different computer.... 🤔
