So anticipating the need to purchase a new laptop, unless I can get this one fixed for a reasonable price, what's the best way to retrieve the data from the hdd in this one, without opening up the new one and putting the drive in there obviously...

/If you cant get into the bios at all thats kinda shit, warranty out? run with no battery but plugged into the wall charger?

simple cheap hard drive sata to usb caddy (or cable) will get your files back 

something like this

Two year warranty, haven't found the receipt buy searched this thread and found I bought it around September /October 2014, so about 7 months out of warranty.. That's why I opened it up, no warranty to void... I'll give em a call see what they say... If it's not a ridiculous price to fix it, I'm happy to keep it, hasn't really given me any issues

Seen weird things before by battery causing problems, if its HDD or RAM that's f**ked you should still be able to get into bios easily

Probably your mainboard though, wont cost that much to get it replaced if they still got em

I'll get one of those cradle things Leigh posted before sending it anywhere... There's not a whole lot of shit on the drive as I keep it on an external drive connected to my network, but still wouldn't mind backing up what is on there

true that

but they do generally lsit tow ratings for a reason...and when they drop them 700kg for this car prob should take notice.

 

 

and worst case scenario something happens insurance company can mess with you hard core.

(also seen cops on the Hume 3-4times in past 2 months directing trailers into the weigh bridge.

Yeah dunno why officially it's 1600 over the standard turbo 2300kg, you'd assume it'd be right.. it's the same chassis with BETTER brakes, maybe it's just a 'FPV brand is better brah' don't tow! thing? 

I wouldn't be worried about it that's for sure

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
