    CPU/Mobo Need a Ryzen 3000 older CPU for BIOS Update

    Title. I live in Hyderabad, and I've gone to third-party repair shops and official service centers, but no dice. I don't have any friends with older AMD CPUs either, so basically I'm completely ****ed. Any help or solutions would be appreciated, especially if it doesn't involve shipping the mobo...

    FS: Keyboard and Mice Zebronics Companion 200 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse combo with 2.4GHz receiver (Purple)

    My sister wanted a purple mouse so I bought her this combo, but she's not comfortable with the keyboard, hence selling. Unpacked it to check, did two typing tests with it, and put it up for sale, so it's basically brand new. Shipping at actuals, DM to discuss

    0-20k Cheapest Possible CPU+Mobo combo for 1080p

    I have an ex-office PC with an i7-6700 that pairs perfectly well with my 1660 Super for 1080p gaming. However the motherboard it it is in is a PoS whose components keep failing randomly (First it was the RAM slots; I'm down to one working slot. Now it's all the internet connectivity options...

    Laptops Screen replacement for ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Gen 6)

    Title. I took it to a Global Technologies store here in Hyderabad, and after initially quoting 7.3K they are now quoting 10K for the base 1080p panel. Is that a fair price for such a repair? Or can I get it done for cheaper elsewhere, or even by myself if I can order the part? Any help is...

    Guide Full-Size Mechanical Keyboards on a budget?

    I am unaware of the mech keyboard scene, and since I was told that mech keyboards are better for typing I guess I'm looking for a really cheap one now. Should be easy to type on, not super noisy for the sake of it, have dedicated media controls (NOT JUST A STUPID VOLUME KNOB), and be full-sized...

    Other Buying Replacement Phone Screens

    I want to try and fix my Moto G40 Fusion by myself, but unsure as to where I can get a replacement screen from. Obviously not touching Maxbhi with a 10-foot-long pole, but is there any other source where I can get a replacement screen for a fair price? Thanks in advance Cheers, Sid

    Importing diecasts from Hong Kong

    Does anyone have any experience with importing diecasts into India? I'm planning to import a MiniGT from a Hong Kong based retailer called rcMart, and they seem to be reliable (according to r/Diecast at least) but I'd like to know if there's a chance I'll get slapped with unexpected Customs...

    Kinsmart in India?

    I used to see a lot of Kinsmart models for really cheap here even up until a few months ago, even in a (generally barren) city like Visakhapatnam, but they've all suddenly disappeared? I remember seeing even quite new models like the C8 'Vette so the shipments seemed to be coming as normal, but...

    21-30k Refurbished ThinkPad X390 (or T480)

    I'm looking to buy a refurbished ThinkPad X390, preferably with 16GB of RAM and an i5. What's the best place to get such a laptop? A T480s or something similar would fine as well. Basically need a lightweight ThinkPad that I know will last for 2-3 years at least. Any other suggestions (new...

    Experiences with Sarvam Shop?

    They have been recommended to me in the past, even on this site once, but I just want to do a final check before I buy a MiniGT model, since they seem to have price parity with other markets on this particular brand. (Even KarznDolls have MiniGTs at about the same price, have MiniGT got BIS...

    Laptops To Clean a ThinkPad

    I'd like to fully clean up my E14 Gen 5 and take better care of the touchpoints to prevent oil wear. How do I clean grime off the screen and keys, and what can I use to minimise the wear from skin oils on the keys and wrist rest areas? Also, if there's any way to de-fingerprint the top and...

    Best ISP for Safilguda/Malkajgiri, Hyderabad

    (This is more specifically directed towards Hyd folks but not only for them) I've been using Airtel in Visakhapatnam without any major technical issues (other than the occasional payments issues), so I'm more interested in taking that. However the family that lives below us use Hathway, and he...

    Laptops My First ThinkPad! - ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 (AMD)

    After many years of dealing with ratty laptops I finally bought myself a new one, and it's this ThinkPad E14. I think I got a pretty good price for it (51K, after all the deals and discounts), and it's generally such a nice laptop to use, with a just few minor niggles. (Also putting this here...

    41-50k Heavy Daily/Office-Type Use 14in Laptop With Some Light Gaming

    I've narrowed down to a custom ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 (specs will be posted below) for the size and features (mainly the size, it's really hard to get good compact laptops here) but are there any other laptops I should take a look at before finalizing? Any good deals running on other sites? I don't...

    CPU/Mobo 2nd PC just died - Need advice

    It was an ex-office PC and it already had one faulty RAM slot, and now I think the other one also failed. The CPU (Intel i3-6098P) itself is still good, but I gave up trying to find good cheap LGA1151 motherboards four years ago. My sister has been using it as an ordinary everyday PC and it was...

    Graphic Cards Is Inno3D reliable? Who handles the service and RMA, and are they trustworthy?

    I'm looking to grab that 3060 Ti steal deal on Flipkart, but I'm not sure if the GPUs themselves and aftersales are reliable. I've had two Zotac cards and never had any issues with them, and 5 years of warranty is quite blissful, so I want to know if I'll be losing much (if anything) by going...

    Other Pixel 4a - eSIM only, dead screen. What can I do with it/get for it? (NOT A LISTING)

    (Just to be clear, this is not a listing. I have many questions, and I just want to know if I can salvage the phone/situation, if possible). Jan 2021 bought Pixel 4a. The screen fell victim to OLED oxidization (a quite sad and ugly way to see such a loved phone go), and SIM card slot doesn't...
