Kindle Fire's battery seems to have offed itself

I have a pair of DT 770s that stopped working last month. Turns out the wires that connect the cable to the headphone jack split apart and its virtually impossible to splice them back together. Im debating between splicing a new headphone jack onto it and buying a new official cable.

How was he able to steal it?

hmmmmmmmmmm hard decisio-

>official cable

Fuck it, get the new phones, you won't make that DIY anyways without hurting yourself

He was my wifes bull, she let him in

>can't fix a fucking cord
Let me guess, you don't even solder your own shit?

my TV.

it just reboots now randomly. it's a 55" sharp 4k and i cant afford a new one, what do i do

My Nexus 5 kicked the bucket last week.
Also, my 2500k finally died last month. Had that thing running at 4.6Ghz since launch. My mate gave me his old one and it could only manage 4.4. I'll miss that little bastard.

Educated guess says that you bought that TV when they still cost too much for any educated person to buy one
So good riddance

My 128GB Mixza MicroSD died last night.
I can still read the data but I cannot write or delete.

check the wires and make sure it is plugged snuggly on both ends. your maid may have pushed on wires when she was cleaning floors or whatever

no the price was fine, the software is just shit on this specific tv

no it worked fine before with everything untouched, i just fumbled with the Option menu a bit and then it kind of crashed and was unresponsive so i pulled the plug, now it is in a constant bootloop

Phone broke with all my exes nudes on it

I can't fix the current cable because theres no wire for me to work with at the base of the headphone jack

A Kingston data traveller usb stick. Probably a firmware issue.

Sent an email to Kingston to give me some software to re-flash the firmware and they sent me a new USB stick.

It was a thinkpad and I could replace the motherboard, but still

I'm not sure if it's broken or not

Imagine being this stupid

maybe they were just corrupt after a bad shutdown. i've had this happen on my nvme drive. ran a low-level backup, got my files back from a mechanical drive i copied the raw drive to.

and then i formatted the ssd, it was fixed. they should fucking add a battery for the m2 slots

my sansa clip+ only has about 30 minutes of battery life on it. I need to replcae the battery but I don't have a solder. There may be a solder somewhere in labs on campus. either way,
I'd have to locate the solder, order the battery, and hope it works out. I was considering getting spotify but I have very little data and they don't have my obscure music.

life is suffering

I just booted my gbc up for the first time since 2004. Still working without a hitch.

the drive strangely enough worked on any other pc i put it in so i didn't have any trouble with doing a backup. in my main pc it would work for about 30 mins and then lock the pc up and dissapear from the BIOS until it randomly decided to appear again. pic is the bad sector test I ran on it

My computer's power supply died. I tried replacing the fuse but it popped as soon as I powered it on.
I've been using a 10 year old laptop for 2 months now.

> can't splice it
If you don't know how to solder just ghetto rig it with those phone line splice things that all you do is put the 2 wires in and crimp it

Sounds like a nice company

Lmao they plugged in a USB killer

let him fuck you and ask him politely for it back after he cums in your ass. If you do a good job, he might be nice to you.

They're trolling, right? I mean that HAS to be bait. There's no way anyone is legitimately that stupid that would even consider trying any sort of DIY with electronics. .... Right?

Ahhh. And this is why I don't buy expensive meme electronics. My 68" 1080p OLED TV is just perfect, 11 years later.

>be me

>be in first world yuropoor country
>3 year mandatory warranty on everything
>can't recall that anything broke in the past 2 years

battlestation works
laptop works
tablet works
phone works
server works

OH

yeah the light in the fume hood broke a while ago.

not when they (you) think it's some high tech wireless shit when you simply "accidentally" ripped the wires out.

Just cut 2 inch of cable and peel out the wires you mong

You deserve it for being a cuck.

Classic Jow Forums pretending to be smart.

>pretending
>implying I didn't solder the plug on the headphones I'm using right now

My work laptop borked itself this morning some how. Wouldn't boot up to the SSD, which is also a bitlocker drive, so it's a pain in the arse to recover. I just nuked it from orbit, and I am re-installing it now, and I keep running into issues.

My headphones I've had for like 6 years broke recently but i just found where the wire got frayed, cut it out, and spliced the ends back together.

I have 2 laptops and over the past year both of the hinges that attach to the monitors broke. They both work fine but I am not able to move them or close them. fml

In normie terms my mouse died at least 8 times since I got it in 2003 but I won't fucking give it up and it has its third cable now.
>but you said 8 times
Yes, whenever the cable breaks every couple years I usually just stuff the fucked part inside the mouse case (usually the bending makes it have contact again inside the cable) and if the cable became to short or there's too much shit inside the mouse it gets a new cable.
The contacts inside also stopped working a couple times which would also mean "mouse death" for most users but I just keep cleaning the metals inside with alcohol and afterwards it works like new again. The mouse also is shiny as fuck where the hand makes contact and the "paint" is all rubbed off on the buttons lmao. NO DEATH FOR THAT MOUSE. DEATH HAS NEVER BEEN AN OPTION.

My headphones Superlux HD681Evo after a year and a few drops from a meter, had to resolder 2 wires works fine.

A HDD as usual.

Fucking display port on my MBP. Now I can't use external monitors.

Granted this fucker is 5 years old but still, shit's annoying.

Most recent was my 27in 1440p catleap monitor.

Honestly I'm surprised it lasted 5 years, because it was acting faulty out of the box. Sometimes would turn on to a black screen and need to be power cycled, eventually it started shutting the screen off after 5min of use.

Turns out I had a bad RAM stick and it was fucking up all my downloads. Took me 2 days of stress and google to figure that one out.

My asrock am3+ mobo.

Getting a new am3+ mobo cost me $200 fucking dollars

I had the same but it was Windows 98 not being able to extract files larger than 4GiB due to FAT32, grandpa stories over.

my beloved htc m7 died...

I really like this style of trolling it's very old school

how

I think my R9 290X is gone for good, the fans still turn on but neither the bios or any OS detect the pci device. It took me so long to upgrade...

Managed to fuck up my Ubuntu installation so bad that reinstalling it wasn't enough, had to wipe the whole disk

My 560ti, now I'm back to my radeon 4350.

my new pixel 2 keeps dying randomly. Luckily I'm not alone because there is a fresh megathread on the subreddit talking about battery issues. I think google are too proud to add the "throttle cpu button because my battery is dying" button after Apple did it.

Also the dongle is really shit, it randomly switches between headphones to just blaring my music out over the speakers. Why did I fall for the ((premium)) Android phone meme

Surface Pro 2. Good riddance.

>half a year ago delete my 1TB backup hdd to make more space for inane shit with the intention to buy a new backup hdd soon

>a few days ago my 11 year old HDD that has all media, photos, work stuff, porn, and the most used programs as "portable install" (so I wouldn't have to reinstall them when I have to reinstall the OS for some reason) on it shits itself and can't be read anymore
>dd, ddrescue, testdisk, chkdsk, various recovery tools all don't work because all 3 NTFS mft copies are on bad sectors
>worse, any advanced forensic programs for windows don't work because the hdd gets disconnected after a few minutes, and I have to hotplug it in after windows started because otherwise it won't boot at all
>finally find one that I can boot from USB and that can repair physically damaged sectors

>ddrescue it onto a new hdd
>everything is back

Certainly learned my lesson. Also interesting to see which data I didn't care about and which I did.
>didn't care about photos or movies
>but fuck losing 15 years of carefully curated porn and music
>didn't care about Jow Forums images in general but what the hell am I supposed to do without my reaction images?
Worst was definitely to lose all the work related files and programs.

Been using the galaxy core prime for
about 4 years now with no problem.
Feels good.
Besides that I had my motherboard blow due to a loose screw witch was nice.
