I have difficulty keeping up with shit that needs to be fixed. I thought I'd make this list so I can keep track of it all... Lol.. me and my lists...
| What | Why | Last Updated | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dell Inspiron from 2003 | Really big laptop from 2003 that just takes up space. Motherboard damage, the hard drive still works though. Lots of memories on there that need to be saved while it still works. | November 8, 2024 | I need to extract the drive and find a way to plug it into my pc. Currently looking into backup options. |
| 2TB SSD M.2 Hard Drive for desktop | I'm basically always on the edge of my storage space, my main drive is quite small, and the externals I have are not that convinent. I need more space, and I need it internally. | September 22, 2024 | Saving money for this |
| 5.25 Floppy Drive Repair | I bought a drive off ebay without noticing that a part had fallen off of it. I don't have a soldering iron, so I need to get one of those before I can fix it. Ask Vintage Computer Federation forums how to repair it, ask about where the fallen cap and fallen jumper goes. Ask if it is repairable. If not, find a buyer. | September 22, 2024 | Waiting till I have time to ask. |
| TRS 80 Model 4 FREHD Power Adapter | Need to figure out how to use the FreHD thing for my TRS 80 Model 4. Need to aquire a MOLEX power adapter, and then figure out how to consistently boot into this thing. Documentation is kinda hard to parse, so ask VCF if nessecary. | September 22, 2024 | Waiting till I have time to work on this |
| Vanmoof S3 Crank Screw Repair + Bikey Extraction | Find someone to fix the crank shaft of my bike. Found a place in NY that might be able to do it. Is the screw stripped? I am not sure. If it is not fixable, find out how to extract my information from the bike, then sell it on facebook marketplace. FUCK Vanmoof. | September 22, 2024 | Waiting till I have time to work on this. |
| New Audio Interface | My current one has a LOT of interference. I need one that is from the last 5 years that doesn't sound like total ass. | September 22, 2024 | Saving Up |
| Fix my damn window | IYKYK | September 22, 2024 | Tbh it's a time issue. Need time to clean up the workspace a bit and to fix it. |
| Figure out what to do with the spare Pentium III 1000 MHZ CPU I have. | It takes up space and I don't need it anymore. It obvs doesn't work on my PC so I'll have to sell it. Maybe work on finding a compatible one before dumping money on this next time huh? | September 22, 2024 | Need courage to put on facebook marketplace |
| Main PC RAM upgrades | I just want more RAM. I want lots more. I wanna max out the ram count on my motherboard actually. More info: here. I have Asus Prime B350-Plus motherboard btw. | September 23, 2024 | Saving Up |
| TRS 80 Model 4 Power Supply | It's been replaced. I just need to get rid of the old one. Any takers? | September 23, 2024 | Being a lazy bones about it. Need to put it up on FB marketplace. |
| Dell Laptop Hard Drive Recovery | The computer itself is taking up space, though there are a lot of important documents on the hard drive i'd like to recover. | September 23, 2024 | Waiting till i have time. Will probably need something that will let me read this drive. What kinda drive is it? Will have to wait. |
| New Joycons OR Joycon Repair | you know why... the drift sucks! Hori split pad or NYXI joypads. | September 23, 2024 | Not a priority tbh. I don't use my switch as much, I've been chosing my lenovo legion go and DS for handheld gaming as of late. |
| Sharp SMB80TE Power Adapter | I need to figure out how to build one, among other things that i need to learn about this machine. | September 23, 2024 | Not a priority tbh. |
| PS Vita Battery | It can't hold a charge well. Need to get it replaced | October 8, 2024 | Not a priority tbh. |
| 3DS Battery | It can't hold a charge well. Need to get it replaced | October 8, 2024 | Not a priority tbh. |
| Lenovo 300 17isk Laptop Repair or Removal | Really big laptop from 2015 that just takes up space. I have since gotten a newer laptop, but this one is just a broken pile of nonsense that sits on my shelf, need to find something to do with it or remove it from my life. Take it to microcenter and see if it can be repaired.
ALTERNATIVE: Hard drive extraction and the sale of the computer. |

| Apple Ipad Gen 1 Battery Replacement | I wanna retrive my photos and read pdfs. Should I jailbreak? | October 30, 2024 | Laters |
| Fiido L3 Brake Replacement | The brakes on this are very poorly built and consistently are failing, broken breakes cause the bike's computer to freak out and stop accelerating. This makes the (very heavy) Ebike unusable, espeically in the hilly New Jersey terrain I use it in. | September 25, 2024 | I fixed it! :D I should make an article about this... |
| PC Engine Duo CD ROM Repair | I want to play Legend of Xanadu and other CD titles, but the system I bought cannot play them. | Early October 2024 |
