Anyone one out there know how to get a HP Touchpad to turn on after being off for a couple of yrs? I just hate to ewaste or give it away to someone not know if there is something on the Touchpad.

If it has an internal LiPO battery, the battery probably went flat. Try leaving it plugged in for a few hours, sometimes the charging circuitry is smart enough to trickle charge the battery until it reaches its working voltage, and it will charge normally after that. Once the battery is charged enough, the device should turn on.

If it doesn't turn on after a few hours of charging, invasive surgery is required to either revive the battery manually, or replace it.

Walmart associate stole my online order for two. I spent an hour driving there to be told "it says here your order is ready for pick up but we can't find it." Manager offered a $40 gift card by mail, it never did come. I did eventually get ahold of two, they were solid.
 
Have a Lenovo 100S-14IBR laptop. - Gone.

I could use some DDR3 if anyone has some to spare. I'd offer older memory in exchange, but I doubt anyone needs DDR2/DDR/SDR/SIMMs.

Needed: Any size or condition working NVME for testing. I have a 2nd NVME bought on the H and forgot to test it for a few months and now I can't see it at all. My fault for not testing it. I want to rule out a bad MB. If you have something way past it's sell by date, but still works, any size, it would be a great help.

Walmart sells cheap NVME SSDs in-store in the electronics section. If you don't want it, you can always return it.

Have a Lenovo 100S-14IBR laptop. Don't remember where it came from. It works, but needs a charger and the battery doesn't hold a charge for a long time. It is VERY slow. Maybe useful if you need something small and light for basic office/light internet browsing.

Screen is bright and has no obvious issues. Keyboard and trackpad work. Overall case has moderately worn paint.

Specs:
CPU: Celeron N3050
RAM: 2 GB
SSD: 64 GB
OS: Fedora 36, but has SLIC for Windows 8 and by extension 10.

CPU and RAM are non-upgradeable unless you have a BGA rework station and the weird expensive DDR3L chips it uses. There is a M.2 slot for storage expansion. For the charger, the 65W generic Walmart charger with changeable tips has a tip that will work with this machine. It can be yours for shipping. It goes off to recycling if nobody wants it.

I could use some DDR3 if anyone has some to spare. I'd offer older memory in exchange, but I doubt anyone needs DDR2/DDR/SDR/SIMMs.

if nobody has snagged this up yet i could definitely put it to good use. Either way, i do have some DDR3 ram here if you still need some.
 
I have an old shuttle all in one touchscreen with atom cpu. I got it in a lot of electronics. No hdd, it powers on and shows text but gets some red lines across after a few seconds. Includes a 19v ac adapter for it. Think it has 2gb ram. Probably not a flat rate item so if you are interested pm your zip code and I'll see what pirate ship says.
 
a 6100 should be fine for them. 8000s are still pricey for some reason. dat722 will be being real nice if hes got one to give!

Someone claimed it, just forgot to remove it from my post.

I do still need some DDR3 though if you have any to spare.
 
I have (2) full spindles/sealed still of DVD+R discs, 100 each spindle
I can fit both into a flat rate medium USPS box with some bubble packing, anyone want them for shipping cost ?
-----------happen to have these with me today, all packed, anyone need them ?

I have a bunch of aluminum square cases, roughly 5 3/4 by 5 3/4 by 2 high
closed on 3 sides with the backside open , flat inside with 4 standoffs, theres a barrel connector on the backside as well, but I dont have any PSU to go with it.
I can ship for cost, maybe 6 or 8 can fit into a medium USPS box for ~$17 and change
PCI bracket in the pic for size comparison
---------------all 6 claimed as of Feb 9th

Those are neat! any idea on what was originally in them?
Edit: Barrel is probably a 5.5MM x 2.5MM judging by the larger center pin
 
Yeh, ihse units, we pulled the card out and installed in the rack mount that holds multi units and needs only 2 power cords.
I was thinking a nice home Nuc case, or Pi case.
I have a bunch with the cards in them (senders), but buying the other parts to make them useful at home is expensive

Anyone have any ddr4 sodimm? Any size is ok, need to see if the stick in my router is causing crashes.

Let me try this again ...

I did some cleaning this weekend and have a few things that I'm going to get rid of. Figured I'd list them here instead of just throwing them away. If there's no interest in a few days the item will be tossed.

I have one StarTech 2.5" to 3.5" HD adapter. I'll be shipping it in a USPS Flat Rate Padded Envelope which costs right at $11.00 to ship.
