ooh my old laptop had a problem like this too, but instead of ripping off it just got so rigid it would probably completely destroy the whole hull if i tried to force it open, to “fix” it, me and my cousin just opened the laptop and (carefully /s) completely removed the hinges (or at least the part of it that connects to the base of the laptop), now it is right beside me here hosting a jellyfin server with the screen being propped up only by a wi-fi router >:3

I so laughed when i saw they already start with that lol

Hooray, Spread it around everyone! :3

“I don’t think that was supposed to happen” haha, yeeah

I see, thank you very much!

joined there!

Oooooh hold on, you said most GPUs have an LED, ok, now that makes more sense, misread that haha

Oh i see, this 400W one i got said it had one of those 80 plus White certification or something, and said it had 80% efficiency, so if this is true i suppose it may do the job then, about this light thing, I’ll look for that when it arrives, never saw a PSU with an LED, interesting, thanks there!

Little extra question tho, is there really no way that this 400W PSU could handle one of those? i mean, its TDP seems to be 150W, with the 77W from the i5, there’s still bit left there till 400

Yeah, it’s complicated, not sure but i guess it’s cuz the higher end stuff is just so out of reality for most people here that the demand for the older stuff goes up enough for it to become pricey too, and there’s also the insane import taxation that began recently just making everything worse

Thanks for the answers! But oh, yeah those 570 seem pretty good, problem is i already just bought a 400W PSU some days ago, didn’t search up properly haha, pain

Aand also, i can’t really seem to find any 570 being sold here on Brazil for a decent price, the price tag difference from a 560 to a 570 is like, veery big, and importation isn’t really an option since fees would basically double the price

The cheapest not used 560 i could find here is currently being sold at R$623,52 (if purchased in installments, slightly cheaper if not) which in a direct conversion would be 118,67 USD

The only option on that level for a lower price would be those used refurbished ones from aliexpress, some of them have stock on Brazil, but i haven’t heard that good of their durability, and my power supply wouldn’t be able to handle them anyway

I don’t interact a whole lot, but when i do i’ve been having a pretty nice experience, thanks there everyone!

And yeah, happy cake day sh.itjust.works!

Oooh so that’s what he says, thank you very much, now i can truly see the joke

Ooh haha, that really confused me there, thanks for the explanation!

Wait what?

Yeah, i usually have a bootable usb with some Linux distro laying around exactly for cases like that

Thanks for the advice there!

Yeaah.

Fortunally i got to convince the person to bring their whole PC, so now i won’t have to deal with this anymore! Thank you very much for the answers you and everyone here!

Well i guess, i don’t really have whole system backups, but not much important data to be lost either, i know backups are good, but i don’t want my storage to go all on that…

Plus a broken boot on linux doesn’t necessarily means all files were lost right? (Unless storage is encrypted, which mine isn’t, but that’s a different case)

Yeah, window’s awful

Sadly only SATA ports can be disabled on my board, that doesn’t seem to be possible to do to the nvme port, but thanks there!
