Seagate HDD Repair possible

johndoe90 — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 00:17:04 +0800

I've got a hard disk that was damaged sometime ago at a repair shop, but I noticed it months later when it started to crash occasionally. Problem was part of the broke off and only the gold colored metal pieces remained intact to the main body, the plastic got lost. I contacted Seagate customer care and asked if they can fix it since it's on warranty but they said it's not covered. Edit: This was the point I inquired for RMA

Ok everyone, so here's my deal...does someone know anyone who can fix or replace this small bit? I can get a new drive but I value this for some reason.

...in...

...and was as shiny as...

Tried to look up on its history but it but no avail. Anyone know about this?

PS3 Slim on Acer X203h

johndoe90 — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 02:13:24 +0800

ACER X203h (HDCP compliant) + Playstation 3 = "Device incompatible"....

OK....I decided to cleverly sell my 20" non-hdcp display.....=.=*) at 9.45pm and rushed to buy a new display within 20 mins for my first time gaming at home. Plan was to get an Acer x203h which after researching has DVI-D HDCP compatibility and doesn't drill my wallet .

When I got to the shop, and tested out my slim(yes...bebeh goes around with me in my back ....gaming ready!!), it said "display incompatible"... ... HDCP + (HDMI-DVI) =

I'm now seeking the awesome help of the ps3 community as to fare on my quest to figure what happened. I connected it via HDMI-DVI cable, did the reset button procedure, double checked the display that it was well connected and performed CP....well, didn't do that, but still...."display incompatible" .

Anyone know how to fix it? Appreciate the help

Looking for 20" hdmi compatible display...any reco

johndoe90 — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 17:09:50 +0800

HI, I'm looking for a 20" display with hdmi support but won't burn a hole in my wallet. Need to play my PS3 on it.I saw a dell display ST2010 but can't seem to find it being sold anywhere except by dell as a desktop bundle. Anyone know a different model with the 20"+ hdmi around town?

Dell ST2010 link

Reason: Budget is 400 and my 20" Viewsonic VX2025wm is not HDCP compatible. I'd like to get a replacement worth 1600X900.
