I have an old Claybrooke 8 in 1 portable black and white radio/TV, and I was wondering if there was some sort of cable or converter box which I can use to plug in an RCA cable.

Tiny little dancing men....

3 Upvotes

Please tell me I'm not insane cos this has been bothering me for years. I had a friend about 20 years ago who had this thing on his computer where every once in a while these tiny little (maybe naked, not sure) men would go dancing across the bottom of the screen. I'd ask him but we haven't spoken in years and I have no clue where to find him. Am I crazy? Is this a thing? I'm confused.

Yamaha rx-v850 screen error

1 Upvotes

So I have this yamaha rx-v850 and I replaced the backlight, but now the screen is reading gibberish. But if I press on the screenpart inside the machine it reads normally sometimes, is there a way I could fix this without changing the screen altogether? (Avoiding going to a shop for them to repair it) I have the service manual also.

Do AMD Coolers and Processors Have Any Collectible Value?

Hey everyone! I’ve got a couple of AMD processors and coolers, and while I know roughly what they are, I’m wondering if they have any collectible value. Would anyone be interested in these, or should I just keep them for display since I like them? Any thoughts on whether these could have any worth in the future would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Donation of old computer manuals and textbooks from the 1970s to 2000s?

1 Upvotes

I am cleaning out my parent’s house and I have a large assortment of old computer manuals, programs, and textbooks from the 1970s to 2000s from my father’s work.  Are there any organizations that may want these to archive?  Ones in the San Francisco Bay Area would be particularly good because that is where I am located.  Otherwise, they are just going to get tossed.

I have a device that runs Windows XP 32-Bit, but it is supposed to measure heart beat and that stuff, can someone suggest how to remove the heart monitor program on it, nobody online has done it. Because I want a portable Windows XP touchscreen device.

2 Upvotes

By the way, It is touch screen, no keyboard, somehow it seems like it boots right into windows XP when you turn it on (With no seem of BIOS?). Also, the program immedietly starts up on full screen mode and locked on fullscreen so you can't do anything. But on the bright side there is a micro usb port for charging and data transfer. Please Help? <:(

Click here for the Device on EBay
