what’s that guy even doing with electronics if he doesn’t even know that CONNECTORS [CONNECT] TO THINGS!
woooohoooooo what a dumb!
…………………………… Wow! So smart! I am cringing form this now…. And facepalming.
Cut off your left ipinky finger.
seriously? lol
The dude said he had no pic, so wtf is that ?
teh lols
you have got to be kidding me! all i can say is that you must have been bounced on your head as a baby, and yes i hope i have insulted you.
Oh so special.
I wonder if they trim the sleeves off their shirts and the legs off their pants whenever they want shorts. That’s what those nice seam lines are for, right?
Wow. Just…wow.
I think you’re meant to take the fan (the black circle) off and put it inside the CD tray. That will make it work.
Dell machines are proprietary, you cannot just add anything to them. The card may not have worked anyway. I haven’t however seen any video cards that you have to “cut”. The most I have ever done to fabricate one is adding a better GPU fan or removing the fan shroud for better circulation.
there is no solution for human stupidity. put yourself back into your mother’s womb.
Hey.. keeps peeps like me employed. Even if i do want to gouge their eyes out with a cat5e crimper.
Oh, and..
FIRST!
AGP Pro 4x or some such craziness. Different signaling voltage. Motherboards that support it are getting harder to find these days. Let it go because man. it’s gone.
His friend and him are both idiots…
Looks like somebody learned an expensive lesson.
hitman454:
Dells machines are not “proprietary” they still use standards like PCI, PCIe, SATA, IDE…Just because your particular Dell does not handle the particular card does not mean that the computer is proprietary.
Anyway, i’d buy the card from him for $10 and solder it to piggyback on another connector
ID-10-T error
I just hope that this guy never buys an extra small condom … on second thought I do, a dumbass like this should not be allow to breed!
Is this the same guy who tried to polish the internals of his Audi engine w/sand?
Come on you guys lighten up. We all started out not knowing much about computers. At least this person is asking for help from people like you who been through it all. To bad the”fiend ” didn’t know better or if did shame on them for giving such bad info to someone who was trying to learn.
Next time go on-line and read before trying to install something new..
Double face-palm…
He probably works at Best Buy.
EPIC FAIL
Unfortunately, even NASA makes these type of mistakes. This is an example of not reading the instructions or as we all are aware, poor documentation.Common sense is not so common, after all.
To Kai: Um, you fail. Try fourteenth
This guys shouldn’t be asking his 4chan “friends” for technical support
Haha, what an idiot!
You don’t cut squat, you just pop it in the correct spot and there you have it not cutting involved!
This made my day.
1 sec this is so funny hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha *-breath- hahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha -breath- hahahahahagagagagagahahahagahahagahaahagahahahahagahagaha -chokes-
idiot
@Frank> Wow someone needs to learn how to tell a forum from *chan. He is CLEARLY not on *chan but some forum.
EPIC PHAIL!!!!! dude you need to go take some classes or something. that’s pathetic
wow
genius much?
“You don’t cut squat, you just pop it in the correct spot and there you have it not cutting involved!”
Granted, it’s not cutting, but the 8800GTX you have to unscrew and remove the damn annoying “handle” at the end so it’ll fit!
My point: sometimes things don’t “just fit ™”.
add me on msn, ultra1337ninja@live.com
It’s photoshopped, the reflections and shadows are all wrong, I can tell cuz I’ve seen a shoop or two in my time
it looks like you’ve just divided by zero, but less the damage
HELP: “I think you’re meant to take the fan (the black circle) off and put it inside the CD tray. That will make it work.”
Umm, where am I supposed to put my coffee cup then?
What a horrible friend! I don’t think they’ll accept that as an RMA… :\
I call doctored…
but if not….SEE ABOVE….
I think you just made a guidance system for tanks….WAAAAHHHHHH WAHH WAHHHHHHH/
Enlist while there’s still time.
wat great friend he have
… becuz my frend tol me that PCIe 1x is faster den PCIe 16x so I cutted the bored make fit.
Hrm.. What we have here is a Listening to idioitis.. rare case of doing what others tell you without researching. We have common names for this practice. ID-10T error and Electrostatic between the chair and keyboard syndrome.
Okay.. What you have to do is first turn the machine off.
Next Plug the card back in and submerge the machine into salt water tank
Reach and and hit the power button.
That should solve the issue…
No you cannot fix the card, unless you have some skills as an ectrical engineer and experience with fabing greenboards. Which.. considering you cut the leads.. I’ll assume you dont.
Good luck paying for a new one!
