Anybody have an old digital camera laying around? Don't need anything special, just something for my 7yo to play with. Made the mistake of giving my 9yo our old 2mp Nikon and the 7yo is jealous now.

Sorry I’m a couple of days late following up, but I did find it tonight! HP PhotoSmart 2.1 MP and I have a case for it as well as a couple of extra mem cards. I’d need to test it if you’re interested, but it worked when I stopped using it years ago. LMK!
 
Looking to borrow someone's Ryzen so I can flash this bios on a mobo i bought for a 5600G.
Playing it safe: bios 0305 (inital)
lists the following as compatible:
3100
3300x
4350G

I'll pay for shipping both ways. Let me know!

Thanks, that's the right plug size but I just tried connecting one of my working Dell chargers like that one to this HP and while it appears to fit just fine, the power light on the laptop just blinks a few times and then goes off.

I've got about 20. What size plug on the end?

Does this help at all? Check the pictures, it's listed there.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/401173802738?hash=item5d67d26ef2:g:490AAOSwrZVep3py

For reference, this is needed for an HP EliteBook 8470p from the 2012-2013 era, but tons of their products used the same connector back then (HP EliteBook 8440p, 8460p, 8470p, 8000/8200 Elite SFF PCs, etc.).

They made so many different variants of these adapters with different compatible part numbers and revisions that work across multiple devices, so I didn't list a part number but one like the one in the eBay link above is what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I have a 8450 and a 8760 as well. I've got a box of new genuine HP adapters with that plug that I scrounged from the trash at work. PM me your details.

My Dell ones won't even make a light blink on my 8760w and vice-versa, my HP ones don't work on my Dell M6800. So that's about normal. The 8470p seems to be about one generation newer than my 8760w. There's ways to mod the Dell power supply to make it work, but not worth the trouble imo.

HP partsurfer gives the following power supply part numbers for the 8470p, which should make looking one up easier to get the power and connector specs:
90w:
693713-001
693712-001
65w:
693711-001
693710-001

Nice picture of the connector on the 693712-001 part description here: https://partsurfer.hp.com/ShowPhoto.aspx?partnumber=693712-001

Thanks buddy. Yeah - I have one remaining 65w adapter here that I was able to use with the SO's 8440p and we are always fighting for it lol, so I was hoping that someone had one of the original 90w adapters that came with these. I've had mixed luck with the 65w...I think it was meant for another laptop. I've had a bunch of HP laptops come in and out of here and sometimes it'll charge the battery while other times it just provides enough juice to allow the laptop to stay powered on, but won't charge the battery.

Sounds like Fenris might have what I need. Thanks all! Feels good to finally be on the receiving end in this thread, haha. What a great community we have here. This thread has helped so many people. :)

Anytime. :D Yeah, I've run into that issue before too when I don't have enough adapters or when the power of the adapter isn't enough. And it never hurts to go back to the drawing board with the factory original part number when starting the search even though HP and Dell both do a lot of supersceeding and cross-labeling of parts.

if this has any nostalgia, and you want it, PM me. Just shipping cost. I will probably give it 2 weeks, and then recycle it.

GONE!!

Surprisingly, after cruising the internet several manufactures left support for "unsupported" cpu's in the bios. I was able to pop a 3200G I commandeered from my Pops DeskMini and update the bios that way.
 
Wanted a few literal floppy disks, not diskettes. Y'all remember the 8" and 5.25" floppies, right? It's for a museum display. I have many things to trade, but I figure to buy these outright. Dig deep, I know this is the place to look for these. I actually had a 5.25" drive and a few floppies 15 years ago but they went to the recycler 'no one will ever need these'...

If you're willing to buy and they don't need to work, this might be a good source.
 
Thank you for the link - although qty 50 might be extreme? I'll give them a call and see if there's a smaller qty available. No, they don't need to work. I knew this was the right place to seek these. :)
 
Evening [H].. trying to complete a small build for my dad and the box i have is just missing a hdd...... and the only thing that would fit is msata... anyone got a 128 or 256 being a dust collector? I'd gladly pay shipping and maybe a bit more for larger to re-home it! (im hoping to put win10 and maybe later 11 on it so if i can run that on smaller, smaller would be fine too!) TIA
 
looking for a couple of AX200 wifi cards, I got some AX201 cards but these require 8th gen intel and newer I believe using some proprietary intel data connection (same slot, different connection)
Trying to upgrade an alienware to wifi6

edit; these are laptop wifi cards

(Get your Dad an SSD, it will speed up the system so much). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XZLW68F/ref=twister_B09CDQWH95?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 240gb 25.99 free shipping with Prime. I did see some $15 SSDs here a few days about but I can not find them to link, and I need to get back to work.

I know 2.5' are cheaper and I have a spare. It would be great but the box I have doesn't have the clearance. Only place I can stick a drive is the msata slot. Of which I have none. =(

Found it, I think. https://hardforum.com/threads/fs-misc-computer-parts.2016917/

Edit. My bad, you need m.2 You should measure to figure out what size/kind you need. Not sure if this helps. https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/...distinguish-the-differences-between-m-2-cards

Second edit, isn't the SSD attached to the bridge thing (that you took 2 screws out of) to take the picture, it looks like the SSD (has 4 screws into an SSD)?
I could totally be wrong.

Isn't msata just sata? IIRC I've seen some msata drives packaged in 2.5" SSD cases. You might be able to find one like that to shuck out of the 2.5" case.
 
Do you have any open area that you can stick the 2.5' drive? Technically, you don't need to put the 2.5'' drive in the drive bay as you an just tape it to anywhere that would fit. 2.5 drives are light enough and there is no movable parts, so you wont typically run into any stability issue if you just tape it to your case. The only thing that could potentially be an issue would be heat dissipation. (just throwing some idea here that maybe allow you to just use what you have)
 
Thanks for the responses! So to clarify, yes the cage is to attach a 2.5 ssd. But the cpu fan was a poor choice as it blocks the rack. It actually is forced down to be tightened. And from the previous post, if input a drive there, it won't shut at all.
Also included pictures of the slots. There are two msata slots, one for wifi card and one for drive.

I could find a new fan but that seems more hassle to find a fan and buy more thermal paste.
I could try to tape a 2.5 but then I need to find a female to female sata power. Regular sata cables I have plenty of.

edit: I'm sorry to derail this thread a bit. maybe it would be better for me to make a WTB thread i suppose. i was just hoping.
