      Re: remove posts

      Hmmm. Badcaps actually seems to be the only forum I can't remove posts from.

      EDIT: Oh, my goodness! me. I AM tired. That's because badcaps is the only forum I'm not a mod on.

          I dislike the time limit for editing. Most recently, I was writing about which cap to replace a cap with (in my own thread), and someone corrected me on the series name. I wanted to change it in the original post, but it was like: You can't.

            Re: remove posts

            Honestly, being unable to edit your own posts a half hour later on a forum mostly of factual objective information seems pretty pointless... since it isn't likely there'll be a situation where an immature poster would go back and edit what he said to remove evidence, so to speak. That's the only reason I could imagine removing that for.

            For information and stuff, it can be pretty confusing if you're looking something up, think you have the answer, then later find that the correct info was actually in another post made to correct the first.

            I'd say a day would be a better choice if there is to be a time limit... or at least, not until there is another post after the one you try to edit, which would help limit double posting, too.

            Just my 2 cents, I'm sure you've heard it all before.

              ^
              It's happened before. i thought the same way as most until I checked the forum one day and some d-bag decided to remove all his posts.....which reeked havoc on threads. Never again. Be thankful it's not 10 minutes like it used to be.

              PS:
              I did just up it to an hour from 30 minutes..........if you don't have your post squared away within an hour, that's just silly and too bad!

                    The ability to edit your posts is always welcome.

                    On the other hand it really pisses me off when posts in other 'respectable community' sites can, and do, get deleted by a mod because of a naughty word - just happened to me this morning, had to do another, not-so-short post all over again. PITA

                              Yeah, I know I am posting in a thread that's been dragged up from the arc...

                              However, This not being allowed to remove your own post... you'll possibly find that it's to prevent the sensible ones on the forum looking like a spoon.

                              Imagine you reply to this and say something to me, I then removed my post, you'd look like a rusty spoon too (Useless) replying to....... nothing?

                              Just be thankful for small mercies, There are a lot of forums out there which won't even allow you to edit your own posts

                                          Problem

                                          This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                                          by Maxpower3
                                          every time I open the tool, I have the screen that appears
                                          and I am always in a hurry to use it so I click and it automatically sends me a link to the manufacturer.

                                          It annoys me lol.

                                          2 solutions to remove it.

                                          Either you remove pic.bmp and it no longer appears so no more links when clicking.


                                          or else you can modify the exe to remove the .bmp


                                          hope this helps users...

                                          How do I remove the chip from the board
                                          by gusto
                                          I am new to hot air soldering. I need to remove one chip from the board. I have a hot air solder and I set the temperature to 350°C. I slowly started heating the chip, but the solder didn't melt. I heated it for about 5 minutes, but the solder still wouldn't melt. I increased the temperature to 450˚C and still nothing. After a while, the board started to change color, but the solder still didn't melt.
                                          Fortunately, I'm testing it on old network switches to see how it works.
                                          What am I doing wrong?
                                          I've seen a lot of videos on youtube and everyone got the solder melted and the...

                                          Asus X441UV REV2.1 remove Nvidia gpu
                                          by acata
                                          I am working on Asus X441UV with Nvidia 930mx 4gb.
                                          The whole power rail is fine except the GPU heats up at the first boot.
                                          is it possible to remove the entire GPU component and flash a similar BIOS?

                                          FYI:
                                          I don't have a BGA workstation so the option is just to remove all GPU components with Hot Blower QUICK 850 analog and solder....
