    Need Inverter and Battery help

    I'm also thinking about 200 or 220Ah ones. If need be, I'll only run maximum 2 LEDs, TV and a laptop. Maybe two laptops. That's my optimal use case. By your maths, that'd be 30W + 65W for the laptops. One high load. Two lights that's 20W. And a 28 inch LED TV. That's maybe 40W? That's a...

    Need Inverter and Battery help

    Thanks. I'll keep that mind. What do you think about the inverter? Should it be the same brand if possible? The shop told me that I'll need a 1275W inverter for what I told them.

    My device is pretty old. 5 years old. It's tough finding battery for it. I'll have to look it at their service centres.

    Laptops How to test replacement battery for quality and health?

    I will try to find a good battery in physical stores now. Amazon doesn't have good ones and other online stores don't have return policy for the batteries.

    Laptops How to test replacement battery for quality and health?

    Similar thing happened to me. The battery degraded to 89% capacity in one day. Yepp. I returned it. I think it was a very bad product. It used to last 5 minutes after hitting 20-25% percent charge.

    Need advice for learning backend development and interview prep

    I am trying to learn backend development. I am fairly good at frontend development. I was advised to start learning Node.js and its libraries. I am planning to start a new job search in the coming months. So I need advise in interview prep for someone who is average at DSA.

    Want to use old LED TV (not smart) as a Monitor + to stream phone to it

    I would be connecting my laptop with an HDMI cable mostly. I wanted to cast Hotstar for Premier league matches from my phone. That's the use case I'm looking at. YouTube casting will be great too. But that's it for wireless. For the laptop, I'd be using an HDMI cable instead.

    Want to use old LED TV (not smart) as a Monitor + to stream phone to it

    I have an old Videocon LED TV. It's not a smart TV tho. I tried to find the required settings to cast my phone to it but I don't think it has the ability. There is an HDMI port on the TV. So there is the option of USB-C to HDMI tool to connect my phone to the TV. But I want to explore if it...

    Laptops How to test replacement battery for quality and health?

    Actually, I tested it out. It used to die in 3 minutes when it hit 20%. That was unusual. Plus the battery health degraded by 11% in just a few days. So I just returned it. I used this command. It was useful to check the data. Thanks for the reply tho. I appreciate it.

    Thanks for the reply. You mean on the stripped screw? I am confused about this. Thanks a lot I will try the tape method. Unfortunately I don't have a good plier with me right me. The one I have is too big. Thanks for the help. I will try and get some small pliers and do it.

    Laptops Need help with laptop stripped screw

    Hello I want to replace the dead battery in the laptop. But the screw is stripped. It's not coming off. I tried applying fevikwik to the screw driver and removing that way but it didn't work. I tried to file some space for a bigger screwdriver but it's hard doing it as I scratched the...

    Wow, this must have been dreadful for her body to adjust to a new weight so quickly. Instant bounce to 53 KG seems crazy but she must have been on the edge in the first weigh in itself.
