I know I am kinda late here, but I have a W530 with 24GB RAM + 1TB SATA SSD, a 128GB MSATA SSD, and a 2TB HDD in place of the optical drive. I bought mine new, because I hate the MacBook Pro's lack of durability, (that's the computer that was recommended to me) and the ThinkPad keyboards are the...

Again, please reply if anyone has the image file. I would really either like to get this working and play with it or sell it if it can not be used by me.

As previously stated, you could plug it in. If that didn't work, then I would wait up to 2 weeks for the battery to drain. Trust me, don't underestimate. Once the battery is dead, you can.

There is no way to download InstantCake for the new OS anymore; it was removed from the internet. I have accessed a few edgy sites and come up with a download of winmfs, but now I need an image file. Does anyone have an image file for a vanilla build TIVO series 2 dvr?

I tried connecting to dialup, but no response on behalf of the TIVO... Again, I think the hard drive is dead. Can someone DM me if they have the backup file to restore to this TIVO?

Hello all, I am aware that the TiVO DVRs are quite ancient and fairly worthless in 2017, however, I saw one at my local electronics store that was about to be recycled, so I brought it home. When I plugged it in, the TiVO booted to a screen that said, "Welcome! Starting Up..." I was actually...

Thank you for all of these helpful responses. You guys really do help with a lot of computer problems and customer's computer repairs!!

When I say that I need it to not use the ram, I don't mean that it cannot use the ram. I meant that it cannot run entirely from the RAM.

Hello all! Today I received a Panasonic Toughbook CF-45, the vintage 1999 or sometime around that version. So, the only downside, is that I just ran out of IDE hard drives. (the last one went to a customer) I already bought one, and it is shipping and has 8 days remaining, hence this post. I...

Hello all! I recently acquired a Panasonic Toughbook CF-45 from a friend. I was using it and it ran fine for its age, albeit with an annoying trackball. (kinda fun though!) What I need help with, is with this strange key. I have never seen it on any of my customers' computers, nor any of mine...

I have an old pair of vintage HP Vectra computers. They are both of the VL/200 series. They have some mild fading on them, (see pictures) and I have replaced the CD drive in both of them. They work fine though, and have been thoroughly tested and preloaded with Microsoft Windows 98 Second...

I have a MacBook, from about ~2008 early, according to About This Mac.The problem I need help with is the battery. It shows a black X on the battery icon. When I unplug it, it turns off. I have tried a new working Magsafe, no avail. I have also tried the current magsafe on another mac, and it...

agreed with americanaudiophile, the tv should have a ant-in on the back. if it does not, you can purchase a small cheap converter box that normally would connect an old antenna module. prretty easy!

wow. that is kind of creepy!

I have a Dell XPS M170 laptop and a 150watt charger and my Dell says "Charger not recognized, press F1 to shutdown. People have told me you can press, i think, F3 to bypass it, but nothing happens. Please help! thanks.
