Not sure how well shares will go at the track

Not sure how well shares will go at the track

Not great.

They are very hard to drive or ride. Also, won't pass tech inspection.

[dezz]

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

[dezz]

What's the idea behind no battery but running off power? If the hard drive, ram or mother board etc is f**ked isn't that just game over regardless of how it's being powered?

[TiTAN]

Generally if it's back to a manufacturer for repair they will wipe the hdd. So you will want to get your stuff off it before that if you do go that route.

[UNR33L]

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

Can't or "can't"?

It makes a big difference.

[emts]

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.

 

[UNR33L]

mine tows sweet as but mines just a dirt bike so meh.

[dezz]

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
