My fucking phone, man. The damn thing has died 17 times today. SEVENTEEN TIMES. 11 of which occured while it was plugged into the wall outlet, the other 6 were while at school, with a "full battery". And no, it's not the battery, as I've tried 2 new batteries already.

Get yourself a "shitphone" (Recommendation: Nokia 6303i Classic), only charge one per 1 1/2 weeks.
I mean, the idea behind mobile phones is that you can be reaches wherever you are, and when your batteries run out after 7 hours it's contraproductive.

My phone's a drug dealer phone.

I am i going to buy a new graphics card, I need some help. I want to find out the pci-e slots without having it open it up, I think it has 2 or more, as it has a pci-e wifi adapter that doesnt work very well, but i think i have one more, I also want to avoid a bottleneck, so here are my specs:

2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i5-2400 Processor (3.1GHz, 6MB, 4C)
4GB (2X2GB) Dual Channel DDR3 1333MHz SDRAM Memory
1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 530 (DVI, HDMI, VGA)
1TB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with 16MB DataBurst(TM) cache
Windows 7 Professional SP1 32 bit

I would like to do some kind of SLI, so I would like someone to suggest a good graphics card, my budget is about 200 - 250, but i am willing to flex it a small amount.

Any reason you want to SLI? Did you check if your PSU can handle it?

And I'm going to assume you want to play games.

SLI is not really something you aim for getting, unless it's some top of the line shit. There will always be a single card that will cost less and out perform SLI'd cards.

Very well, but I would like to upgrade instead, what would you suggest it get?

With that much money you could get a gtx 560 ti, or at least a 560.

Anyone know much about LCD repair?

My monitor's backlight goes out after about 3 seconds of being on. Googling suggests a broken inverter or dysfunctional capacitors.

I have two pcb's in my hands and I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

Then put them back where you took them from and send the monitor to the manufacturer.
Or if it is already an older model it might be time to upgrade to one with a higher resolution.

I usually try to frankenstein stuff back to working order, but only when I am 100% confident that I know what I am doing.
For example, back when my Genesis' power button started malfunctioning, I just ripped that fucker out and shortcircuited the power button with some solder.
Later it loosened itself, so I replaced it with a proper switch from a old fan. It would work up until now if I hadn't thrown it away some time ago.
