Hi, I have an HP Pavilion 23. When I connect it and then press the power button, the screen remains completely black. I cleaned the RAM stick and removed dust from the fan. Then I turned it on again, and the screen is still black. Please, I tried the Windows + B and Windows + V combinations, but that didn't work either.

Dell Inspiron 531: Inspiron turns on, but does not display

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 07:30:28 -0700

When I turn it on, the light is a steady amber with no beeps. However, the operating system does not boot even when the cables are secure. I think that it is an issue with the power supply or the motherboard, but I'm not sure. If it helps, I have Ubuntu version Noble Numbat. I have successfully booted Ubuntu before, but one day it randomly stopped working

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 23:20:08 -0700

This is a longshot, but i may have bricked the system on by enabling visualization in BIOS settings than saved a state on virtualbox before force turning it off by power button after the OS froze after a auto-wake up from sleep mode

Microsoft Surface Studio: Screen swap for Surface Studio

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 11:53:33 -0700

I have an original Surface Studio. I can buy a screen damaged Surface Studio 2+ for a couple of hundred dollars. I would like to swap the damaged screen with the functioning screen from the original Surface Studio but do not know if the connectors are the same. I like the 2+ because of the added Thunderbolt 4 ports. Is this possible?

iBUYPOWER: Is this only the CPU's cooler problem?

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 11:02:40 -0700

So my ibuypower element 9260 is a few years old and its really fast, but after around a week of use it gets really slow. After waiting a few weeks the fast performance is back. I was a little concerned about this so i just stopped using it but i decided that i wanted to revive it. I checked my CPU temp because the liquid coolers became really loud and sounded like something was about to pop inside my pc, the temp got to 90 C only after 3 minutes of it being idle (i checked a screen you can see if you spam the delete key after powering it on). I ordered the Thermalright Assassin X 120 refined cooler to replace the liquid cooler with (and new thermal paste). So i just wanna know if the liquid cooler is the only thing that needs replacing, i know the proper replacement steps but im still worried if i just wasted money. But then again, the pc still ran fast and the download speeds were really fast it just became slower overtime but became fast again after letting it rest for a few weeks.
