So... @Dornhan17 _still_ hasn't responded to the notice that he's won the giveaway! He only has another 24 hours to respond! I'll update this pinned comment with a follow-up.

[@Mr.Morden]

When you actually do win a prize and it's not a scam. 🤣

[@permsn]

Oh oh, he will be bummered when switching on his phone again 😅

[@kshitijrastogi1]

I'm still using a GTX 1050Ti🥲

[@TerQi]

I would have tested each part individually just for my own sanity but it would have taken more time which is understandable why you didn't do that

[@Micale22]

That's sucks, they might not be on KZbin all the time

[@1MWM]

As a tech support specialist. I envy you for not having to deal with the person right there or over the phone. Just you and the machine.

[@mannydcbianco]

Yes, this. It's so frustrating to try to do IT/tech/hardware work with the client (or friend) hovering over you.

[@TheLateral18]

how many times you have to ask , is the system plugged in lol

[@1MWM]

@@TheLateral18 worse yet is when they don't know what a wall plug is 🤨

[@ianmcleod6428]

This was brilliant troubleshooting. This reminds us all that removing a CPU and placing it back into the socket must be done delicately. Thank you all for the videos.

[@GregSalazar]

Thanks for watching!

[@renz_blank5036]

This series is amazing tbh. I did not expect those kind of problems to happen. But you show us that these situations do happen and it helps us to know what to do if it does happen to us or to someone else. Keep up the great work!

[@darryljack6612]

Me: About to leave to go see a movie. Greg: Posts a new video. Also me: I'm sure i can just miss the previews

[@GregSalazar]

Yooooo

[@abdulazimpatel8467]

🧐similarly here too going to do something new video posted.

[@codys1826]

I really enjoy this entire series. I've watched everyone so far, and always enjoy seeing all the unique builds

[@toddholfinger4153]

Thats amazing!!! i hope you keep this series going. Helping people that don't understand trouble shooting computers is amazing. Learn a ton about what to look for when trouble shooting computers and how to isolate each component to see if it is functioning.

[@CapnKitten]

As a long time fan of this series and the go-to tech person in my immediate family and friends, I'm always fascinated with your patience when dealing with situations where you're not given all the facts about the systems, intentional or otherwise. Keep up the good work, Greg!

[@sitordan]

Well, that's another great episode. Keep them coming, Greg. You're killing it.

[@luisneves210]

Your videos are a breath of fresh air, they are entertaining and tutorial at the same time, no drama and most of the time you give back goodies to the comunity 😊

[@Op_Patrick]

Hi Greg! love the fix or flop playlist but i especially love the micro center videos you made updating peoples old hardware. Keep up the great work!

[@sean4102]

Awesome work Greg, Fix or Flop is one of my favourite series to watch on any YT channel, so much variety. Learnt a lot from you that I thankfully haven't had to use yet!

[@jorgenese6799]

Love the fact that you’re doing a series on troubleshooting computers. It’s nice to see different issues that are being fixed where I can store the solutions in by brain cells for reference… if I remember them haha

[@burnsyd17]

Create your own private personal playlist on KZbin and save the most relevant ones to it. And you can save not just Greg's videos to it but any others you find.

[@WrexBF]

I looked up that pin on the Kably Lake pin diagram and it's a ground pin. So, the PC should still work without that pin. It's possible that that ground pin was touching an adjacent VCCIO pin. That would explain why the PC was refusing to boot.

[@dominikfilkus]

Thanks for the addition.

[@lplafrance2000]

Always cool watching these videos. Always fun learning different things to look for when troubleshooting.

[@xhikmatx]

One of the best series of PC troubleshooting videos. Love the presentation and all the info given. Keep it up champ.

Really love this series. I actually had to troubleshoot a no-post system two days ago, and I noticed my process had gotten way more focused and calm. Likely because I had this series in the back of my head. (sooooo many videos now 😅, and I have been here since the first 😊)
