Finally found my old 3ds and I'm looking for some advice on how to troubleshoot it as it currently does not turn on at all.

  • I've tried putting in a new battery and a new charger (both brand new parts straight from Nintendo), but that didn't seem to help.

  • When I plug the 3DS into the charger with the new battery, the charging LED is a solid red and will stay that way even when left to charge for several hours.

  • I have tried removing the battery and plugging in the charging adapter. The charging LED will turn on (solid red) but still won't turn on.

  • I have yet to give the motherboard a isopropyl alcohol bath as it's kind of a hassle to take the motherboard out, but I have given th

Current Monitor Model Name: AW2518hf

Issue

I recently moved back into my college apartment and I found that my aw2518hf monitor does not give any kind of image, only the backlight comes on. There is no obvious physical damage to it, and I made sure to pad it by wrapping it in a blanket. What's weird is that it was working when I got everything moved into my apartment. I plugged in just power to make sure I didn't crack anything and the logo came up fine. The next morning there is just nothing.

What troubleshooting steps have you already taken?

When I plug in just the power cable, I only see the backlight come on, but no images, no logos, not even the OSD menu comes up. If

Hey guys. Thinking about upgrading from my KZ ZS10 Pro this holiday season. I've seen a lot of people recommend the Arias so I thought I'd pick them up. I do like the sound signature of the ZS10 Pros and it sounds like the Arias have a somewhat similar signature? I mostly listen to symphonic rock and orchestral music, so fun sounding signature is what I'm looking for. I use the Apple type C to 3.5mm adapter to listen to music on my phone.

I guess for reference, I use AT m50x at my desktop and the Samsung Galaxy buds+ for wireless.

What are your guy's thoughts? Is the Aria a large enough upgrade from the ZS10 that I wouldn't reget spending $80, or should I look for something else?

Hey r/W10,

I've got a couple questions. I'm currently running 1709 build of W10 Pro and I'm thinking about updating to a later build that supports the drivers for a 3060 ti that's sitting in my room. I used to use a 1607 build, but I upgraded so I could play some DX12 games with friends. I'm very sentitive to input lag and inconsistent frame time, and after reading the issues people have had with Microsoft moving away from true exclusive fullscreen and into that weird fullscreen container, I've abstained from updating until now. I've also heard/read there is an issue when you have two monitors with different refresh rates (I've got a 240hz as my main and my old 144hz as my secondary).

r/Purdue•

I just remembered that Purdue was going to carry over the dining dollars (for the students that left campus in March) from the 2019-20 school year to this coming school year.

What happens for students that are doing the fully online experience, meaning that they won't have a dining/housing plan for at least this fall? Does the dining dollars that were carried over just disappear?
