I broke my HD by accident, the IDE cable was wrong way round and the blocked pin hold pushed the Pin in on the HD.

I stripped it pulled pins back out, had a look round etc , Didnt work again i/o error.

Just tried it this morning, Works!!
bad luck or what!!
So now ive 2*40gb, When i get the raid working, and a 15gb extra space

Si

 

Si,

But ah, yes, it now has an excuse to fritz out on you just at the time you really don't want it to

I say take it outside and shoot it before it can cause anymore problems.

Cheers

Ian

Jeff

David

 

lol i didnt realise! Just forced the ******* lol hehehe ive build 2/2 sucessful pcs though

 

You scare me sometimes.......

 

only sometimes ?

 

force entry!

 

Not managed to get a spell-checker working yet

 

Any chance of an English translation ?




Jeff

 

1st rule of working with hardware: never force *anything*, if it's not snapping together, then the connectors will not be lined up correctly or indeed are incompatible.

You really are a tube.

 

I had trouble this aft nicks told me how to sort it.

Gf's had no end trouble pretty slow pc,now with broadband tis silly.

Only got 64mb SD 100 ram. Ive got 400 left flying around so went to put it in! I was pysically putting my whole bodyweight and strength , did it hell want to go in, trying to take out the 64 was also impossible too.

I told you to NEVER FORCE ANYTHING as delicate as that, you nutter! You really must be mad to put your whole weight onto pressing a flaming DIMM in mate. Sometimes they need a little preciseforce, but no where near that much!! If it won't go, work out as to why. I gave you a couple of options of what to try to fix it, but also told you the risks involved even if you were very delicate!

For god's sake, be careful, but that word really doesn't seem to be in your vocabulary

Nick.

 

hehehe like when the hard freezes hit the *******!

You can see why i play rugby to much agression

Have to file it like you said

Si

 

I didn't say file it, I recommended very gently shaving the groove in the DIMM with a stanley bladeif that was indeed what was stopping the DIMM from fitting into the slot, only shaving off exactly what was necessary in order to mate the RAM into the socket and warned you that by doing this, with new RAM you will instantly lose any warranty that you have on the RAM.

Can't say that I didn't warn you.

Nick.

its old ram we dont need it anymore! im building her a new one soon anyway

 

Just to preempt here is a correctly spelt topic heading that you can copy and paste.
"How do I find out if I have cracked my motherboard?"

 

touch wood ive never offically actually Broke any thing :P

 

Let me guess its always already broken when it arrives?

 

nope always fixed it! only thing stopped working was the router..........which was faulty!

 

Why does the phrase

"Brute Force & Ignorance" spring to mind

 

lol moi??? Moi??

as if........

started doing RAID at 8pm its 12pm had 7cans, Tequila, Whiskey and im just formatting the c drive! hmmmmmmmmmmm long night ahead

 

if thats how you treat your pc's raid is the least of your worries..

David
