If that's how yours looks, then you should get one of these:

these are cables which are pretty much fail safe as they aren't even for power, so if it doesn't work demand a refund... plus what are the chances a SATA cable is gonna be faulty

what did you order anyway?

knowing my luck lately, 110%, and if i'm lucky they'll arrive on fire (this year i've been through a phone, nearly every major component in my PC, 2 sets of headphones and an alarm clock, and that's just the things i couldn't fix myself

On a more serious note, does anyone know how to increase the sound quality on a Bluetooth headset?

scaminatrix · Jul 26, 2011, 03:29 PM

cheesy, there's not much that can go wrong with a SATA cable

You won't go wrong with ebay as long as you have at least a tiny amount of common sense.

I've bought those SATA cables before, and I've bought loads of stuff off of cheesefeat (the seller who's selling them on ebay). Don't be so scared of ebay just because one person had a problem once! That's just silly!

You remind me of a geezer who came on TPU asking for help but refused to use any free apps like CCleaner or Malware Bytes. He only wanted to use paid apps

Oh, that was me

I'm going through a dispute with the seller at the moment. But that was an item that was listed as "faulty" but seller said it works etc. etc.

Don't know if you mean me, but yea that happened to me anyway and because I have common sense, nothing's going in the sense that I'm losing out or anything

it's not the only problem i've had with Ebay, i'd prefer to just use actual shops/etailers and know exactly who i'm dealing with/who to shout at when it goes wrong

EDIT: Look at this , radeon 5650 and core I procesor for £339 http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/dell...-quidco/984321, if only i had money...

Same here, (I prefer proper shops and etailers) but ebay is good for items you simply can't get anywhere else (other than China) like those "Horizontal Right Angle Cables" I linked.
I've even got one spare here I can send you if you like. Bought two of them but I only need one now. But that's something for PM. If you want one without having to go through ebay, let me know.

Bo$$ · Jul 26, 2011, 05:33 PM

screen size/ laptop size then that would be perfect

cheesy999 · Jul 26, 2011, 08:21 PM

Good news!

Since, as of tommorow, My motherboard is going on a trip to yorkshire, i am now using a laptop i borrowed, and have updated my system specs accordingly

I'm thinking of getting my own laptop though, the dell outlet has some amazing deals at the moment, although to be fair it'll probably have to wait till Christmas before i get a laptop
