  • It was more so a comment that they could have used a connector for the ram to make it user serviceable, instead of soldered on, and I combined it with a sentence that the storage should be user serviceable and upgradable instead of making my earlier comment overly explicit/wordy. The quote I took from ifixit right above even says that the mobile chip is why it was limited to 8 GB of RAM.

    Some changes would have to the layout be made to accommodate fitting a physical stick instead of just the soldered modules, but there’s CAD software that plots traces, so that really shouldn’t be an issue.

    All it takes is putting a SODIMM socket into the device instead of soldering in the RAM, making it possible to salvage the device if the RAM begins to fail. It’s a basic laptop, meant for browsing/writing documents, I can’t really see anyone swapping in 16 gb of ram to a device like this, and seeing any performance uplift.




  • If Steam is running in the background, it could be taking your controller input and remapping it to a keyboard and mouse input. You can quickly check by fully exiting Steam and seeing if your controller is detected correctly. If it is, you can try adding pcsx2 as a non-steam game like the other comment suggested (but then you would need to do this for every other non-steam game using a controller), or you could disable Steam Input for “Non-game controller layouts”.

    With your controller connected, open steam in the upper left, and open to Settings > Controller > Desktop Layout > Edit. From there, disable Steam Input, and see if PCSX2 starts detecting your controller as a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard.




  • It’s an issue with VA panels starting cold. You probably notice that it’s more common when the temperature in the room is cold.

    If your monitor has a startup graphic when powered on, or its settings menu appears at the bottom of your screen/overlap with the affected area, you’ll know the issue is with the panel and not your gpu/cables if the artifacts appear over top of the menu.

    My MSI Optix G24C has the same issues (uses a VA panel manufactured by Samsung), and can take a couple min to warm up if the room is cold and hasn’t been used in a while. The issue typically goes away in the summer/resolves itself faster.
