If he actually knew what he was doing, he wouldn't be shoving her into the oven, and his soldering skills aren't exactly top-tier anyway...

Sometimes you just have to tweak the frequencies manually, especially when you're mixing two different types of RAM. If everything runs fine at 1866, I guess just leave it there, but if it gets unstable, maybe just dial it back to 1600MHz. You probably won't even notice the difference in performance anyway.

Maybe try jumping into the BIOS and hunting down whatever "restore BIOS defaults" option is sitting on your board, then just save and reboot...

Either you'll end up with no display at all, or you're looking at a BSOD and other fun little surprises. I guess you should probably reset your BIOS to factory defaults before you try swapping in those new sticks.

Maybe you're running an old version of Edge? Or maybe Windows isn't updating regularly, or you accidentally blocked something somewhere.

It’ll probably work, honestly. There’s a slim chance it might not play nice with your old RAM, but if that happens, I guess you could just sell the old sticks and upgrade to 16GB. Easy fix...

First things first:

Are you currently in the US? If so:

- First off, you gotta check if that TV even picks up modern signals. Most Sony sets from around 2015 onwards should be fine.
- If it doesn't support it, you'll probably need an external converter box.
- If it does work, make sure you're scanning for digital channels instead of analog ones.

If you've done all that—meaning you've confirmed you actually have a decent enough signal to begin with—and you're still getting nothing, then maybe try:

- Moving the antenna around to find a better spot.
- Trying a different antenna altogether.

If none of that works, an indoor antenna probably won't cut it and you might need to hook up to an outdoor one.

What TV model are we looking at? It should be on the sticker on the back or maybe the side.

Hard to tell if that’s a 3.5" enclosure from the photo, but I guess it could be.

You could also just plug it straight into a new PC and grab what you need, assuming you have an extra SATA cable lying around somewhere.

Maybe try selecting Windows 8.1 since there isn't a Windows 10 option, then just grab the card Reader driver

Nothing worth buying right now, honestly. Your best bet is hunting for used gear, maybe an RX 470/480/570/580 or an RTX 3060...

Also, you should probably mention which SSD you’re using. If you picked up a 2TB drive for $30 on a random site, I guess you just got scammed.

If the laptop doesn't support BIOS/Legacy mode, you're pretty much out of luck. Even if you try installing it on another machine and then moving it back, it probably won't even see the OS because the boot methods are just too different...

There are plenty of others complaining about this online if you just search for "MT7921 problems." For instance, check out this thread on Reddit:

Maybe try tweaking your gaming setup a bit—maybe disable the 5 GHz band or mess around with the channels and stuff...

So, how old is that Chuck unit anyway?

I have no clue what happened, why is it asking for a password if nobody touched anything?

Maybe the laptop is just forcing you into BIOS because it thinks something was messed with (so you could try a factory reset), but I guess the BIOS itself is locked down.

wiredcanyon94 said:A few years back—let’s be more specific, maybe 7 or 8 years ago—I picked up a handful of 32GB micro SD cards on AliExpress. They were literally a dollar each. One single buck. And shipping was free.

To this day, I still have those exact same cards. They just sit there on my desk serving as a permanent warning to myself: never, ever buy cheap storage from AliExpress again.😉

It’s not the end of the world if you get a refund. But I guess if you lose important photos, then it's pretty bad.😁

Maybe you could find an answer in this thread:

I'm not sure if the Apple TV supports something like a Netflix server?

It probably isn't actually 2TB, more like way less. You can find stuff online about how to check its actual capacity so you can format it properly. If you don't, your files will just end up corrupted once you hit his true limit.

You actually dropped 30 bucks on that?

You got ripped off, man.
