    I have fixed so many thing over the years because of bad caps. From the instrument cluster in the dashboard of my car, to video cards, to my big screen TV. It's amazing how a bad cap can ruin your day.

    So I guess I should drain my lipo that will be stored to about 50% capacity?

    @dwcraig1 Anyone ever seen these... I was watching some vintage computer stuff videos on YouTube the other night, and thought this was an amazing idea if you actually had a purpose for it. I could see some real die hard old school pc users wanting something like this. Amazon.com: Generic...

    Got to be careful with some, my son bought a battery for a older white Mac laptop, and because the battery "never stopped charging" it basically always registered as 99% never 100% to stop the flow AC power, the magnetic power connector melted. (true story) and the power cable was genuine...

    I hate the power bricks. I understand why they moved the power supply external, but in the scheme of long term laptop use, I'd prefer to have less to loose. A generic AC plug that plugs in directly to the laptop (ie: like a desktop power supply) is "more better" imho. Those power cords are $2...

    I had 3 of my 5 unopened, and after the issue with the black one I decided to test run (charge, cycle, recharge) each one for testing... LOL [emoji23] so apparently I had the right idea, but my check now while I can idea came back and bit me. Oh well. No real big deal. The lipo itself is the...

    Well in my case, the problem was with the pins on the board itself. I thought it was the battery originally, I was wrong. I think willy had the battery problem though..... So it's a double edge sword I guess. If you store the battery and it has issues when you use it, was it defective...

    Does anyone know where you can buy removable small screens? The only ones I've ever seen are already soldered on and attached to the boards.

    On new old topic... So I have a black dx200 that was giving me issues, originally I thought it was the battery. Turned out to be the dx200 (dna200 board). As @dwcraig1 suggested the issue was with the jst. I can't 100% for sure tell you whay the exact problem was but I can tell you how I fixed...

    Wow... I can't believe I missed that. Saying I feel dumb is an understatement. All I can say is sorry. (and duh) Edit: I edited my original post. I'd suggest editing those who quoted my stupidity.

    Are they small screen? No! I haven't looked at anything except what's been posted in here... But I assumed they were large screen. Small screen would be cool though.

    I want to order a dna133 vapor flask (vaporshark) . My custom flask died in April I think it was.... So as a friendly reminder if anyone spots any Vaporshark hardware discount codes or sales, please pm me. It's not like I'm hurting for a dna133/dna200 mod, but the flask is by far my favorite...
