    FS Valve Index VR Parted Out or Bundles

    SOLD ON EBAY I am the original—and only—owner of this Valve Index. Other than for the right Knuckles controller, it works perfectly. The right controller needs a battery; this is not user changeable, at least not for the average person (although there are youtube vids on how to do this). Being...

    Moving On/Up From Valve Index to Quest 3?

    Original Index owner. The right controller is no longer usable, and I'm not ready/willing/able to replace the battery. The question is whether to buy a new set of controllers or upgrade to a newer technology wireless device. The pancake lenses on the Quest 3 have really intrigued me--along with...

    College Laptop Advice Needed

    I'm planning on buying my grandson a laptop this month for him to take to his first year of college in the fall. Like me, he is more a desktop person, so when I try to get his preference on things, he just doesn't know and doesn't really have an opinion. So I've been doing some research and was...

    New Modem Flashing DS light

    Activated a new Motorola MB8611 (docsis 3.1) about three weeks ago. Seems to work fine, although I noticed the blue downstream light will start blinking rather than remain solid every few days. It doesn't affect internet connectivity; I can still connect, still stream, still game. But it will...

    SOLD...Asus ROG Zephyrus G14

    SOLD! Purchased this only a few months back from an [H] forum member, but I unexpectedly obtained a new desktop with a 3080 at the same time and find I never use the laptop. As it seems a bit of overkill to use this gaming laptop just to browse the web, thought I'd pass it along to another...

    Imminent power supply failure?

    My desktop computer has a Seasonic X-850-KM3 that is 5 years old. Last week, the computer wouldn't boot; nothing happened when I pressed the on switch. Using the 30-second discharge tip, it came on and ran just fine. I ran a number of stress tests, and all ran perfectly, good temps, no...

    Am selling my Vive, which comes complete with headset and linkbox, two lighthouses, mounting hardware, wand controllers and chargers, and the Deluxe Audio Strap with padded VR Cover memory foam. This is the original Vive, so I've had it since the summer of 2016. It has seen relatively light...

    Edge blocking screensaver?

    I added a new (administrator) user to my old computer and gave it to my husband for his daily usage. When the machine first boots up, screen saver works normally. Once he actually opens Edge to browse, that effectively seems to block all future screen saver activity. Whether Edge is opened...

    Basic smartphone recommendation

    I'm one of those folks who bought the Amazon Fire Phone a few years back. Still have it, but it's getting long in the tooth and am needing to upgrade to another android phone. The choices are overwhelming, even in the budget category, and am hoping someone more familiar with features can help...

    Charging a visitor's Nintendo Switch

    When my grandson visits next month, he's planning on bringing his Nintendo Switch with him but didn't want to bring the dock for charging it. Looking on Amazon, I think I only need to buy a Type C to Type A cable with a plug-in wall charger, but they have both a 45W and a 65W. Assuming this is...

    Edge browser size help

    My 90-year-old father somehow changed the size of his internet pages. Web pages are perhaps a few inches tall; totally unreadable. He knows he hit some key combination accidentally on his laptop keyboard in frustration when trying various methods to input a password. He says clicking on maximize...

    Do higher refresh rates stress video cards?

    Just got an Acer Predator X34 (which is terrific). My video card is 2 years old (Titan X Maxwell), and although I initially had concerns over how it would perform, it's been working like a champ. Still, it's no longer top of the heap, and although it hasn't been necessary yet, I know at some...

    Ultrawidescreen for original Titan?

    I have the original Titan X video card paired with a 27" monitor (Dell U2715H, 2560x1440). Knowing Mass Effect Andromeda is only weeks away, I've been wanting to upgrade to a curved G-sync ultrawidescreen but unsure if my 2-year-old video card can handle it. I want to stay with this video card...

    Bass in Audioengine A5+

    I decided to go from my 5.1 system to the Audioengine 2.0, which is paired with my SoundBlaster Z soundcard. I use these almost exclusively for gaming and just wanted to downsize without giving up quality. I thought I could make up the bass by using the equalizer settings in the Creative...

    Switching internal HD to external?

    The 9-year-old OPC has finally given up the ghost. I thought I would pull the internal WD Velociraptor and wondered if it could be used as an external drive? How would I make it an external drive...use an enclosure? This is not something I've done before and I'm unsure which enclosure I need to...

    win10 upgrade password?

    A 90-year-old relative just called me saying he had just upgraded to win10 (why, I don't know) but he's unable to log in because it asks for his password. He never had a password in win7. I haven't upgraded myself so don't know much about this. He's going to get his "better" hearing aid and...

    I'm fixing up a computer to take to my grandson, a Minecraft addict. I've been setting up his programs and games before bringing it to him, a several hours' drive, so I'm wanting to get everything working smoothly beforehand. I've installed Minecraft, which apparently no longer needs a...

    Swapping CD drive question

    I'm not a builder myself, so this will likely be an elementary question for you guys, but I could use some help. My son has an older computer with a Plextor Plexwriter 24/10/40 CDR-W IDE burner. It is broken (something to do with jumping cats and an open drive). I have another computer here...

    Help with WD MyBook failure

    My son handed me his old WD My Book external hard drive hoping it would work on any of my computers as it's no longer recognized on his. I tried them on 3 different computers (win98, winXP, win7), and it's not seen on any of mine, either. The drive itself is getting power, is making a whirring...

    Cooler Master 840 resonance noise

    I had a computer built for me using the Cooler Master 840.
