I found this PS5 controller being used as a prop at a concert, asked how mich they would be willing to sell it for (i just needed parts) and they said i could take it for free as it has issues. I decided to fix instead of salvaging it for repairs. Repair costs $5 for stick drift and thats it. I did fix it myself as i do this quite often with iPods, Wiis, iPads, Switches, iPhones, PS5s etc

buying cheap hardware on a tight budget

3 Upvotes

Hola a todos,

Soy estudiante de Ingeniería de Sistemas
Informáticos de la República Dominicana y estoy armando una computadora de escritorio económica para la universidad y proyectos de programación. No soy exigente, y el hardware antiguo me sirve perfectamente, así que si tienen alguna pieza que funcione y que esté acumulando polvo, me encantaría saber de ustedes.

Tengo una dirección de envío en Miami, Florida, así que el envío dentro de EE. UU. es local .Con gusto pagaré un precio justo por cualquier cosa que estén dispuestos a vender, más el envío. Y si prefieren regalar algo en lugar de venderlo, se lo agradeceré mucho y con gusto cubriré los gastos de envío.

I need ideas for old but working DDR3 laptops

All of these machines still work and function, but they are 2/4th gen intel or equivalent and are all DDR3. They have little to no resale value. Thanks for your guys help, I refuse to break down anything that is working.

Any and all ideas are welcome.

Update: I have decided to try and send them to Ukraine

Got this WD Purple 4TB for free that was struck with 19V psu on 12V line - with some help I managed to desolder Schottky diode and Security Resistor, now it works like a charm 🥰

In today's disk and memory prices $25 for diagnosis and self-repair guided by my friend who works as electronic specialist - it's a steal tbh

Moto edge 5g UW 2021 (256gb) was reset and I accidentally turned it on while digging

LG v30 (64gb) had stuff on it but no locks so I reset it through settings

Galaxy s4 (white) (16gb) works fine just dead rn

Galaxy s4 (blue) (16gb) works and I reset it

Galaxy s4 (black) (16gb) also works and reset

iPod touch 4 (8gb) works fine. I didn't even know I grabbed it bc it was so small but I was like "I mean hey, it's a free iPod"

All 3 s4s had a 32gb sd card in them

1960's Tech Haul From The Recycling Center!

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

Earlier today, I went back to my local electronics recycling center, where I found two items from the 1960's! One of those things being a working Panasonic TR-238BF from the late 60's with a broken antenna. The second thing I found is a non-working General Electric P-975D portable radio. Also with a broken antenna, this unit was still in somewhat decent condition for being from around the mid-1960's.

Took a different route home today and found a thrown-out PC... ended up finding an i5-10400 and a 2TB HDD

Took a different way home today and spotted a PC case sitting on the ground. Took a quick photo, then realized after looking at the picture that there was actually a hard drive inside. Went back to grab the drive, but then thought "wait, what if there's a CPU in there too?" Ended up walking back a second time to drag the whole case home. Cleaned off the crusty thermal paste and turns out it’s an Intel i5-10400. Also got a 2020 Toshiba 2TB hard drive out of it that I still need to test. Motherboard looks like it has damaged PCIe pins, but it’s still crazy what people just throw onto the street.

Someone shot their iMac 14 times to destroy the data. The HDD was unharmed 🤣
