PowerSpec G330 updates- bluetooth concerns
Hi, I have a powerSpec G330. I'm having trouble keeping a consistent bluetooth connection with a headset (happens when in linux or windows on the G330). The same device has no issues keeping a connection with another laptop. I suspect out of date drivers/bios. Can I ask for a breadcrumb for how I can check that?

Santa Clara store no longer opening early 2025?
Hey, I know the new Santa Clara store was originally announced to open in late 2024, then pushed to early 2025, now the wording on the website is just an obscure date of 2025, so I was just wondering if the store opening is now being pushed back further, to say mid, or even late 2025 now. I would love any updates if…

The RGB Case Fan (Powerspec G434) with Lian Li label on the back of the PC is going out.
The back case fan is going out. It is randomly slowing down, making noise as it slows down. I tried finding a replacement fan on Amazon and struck out 2 times. It appears the case fans use all 4 pins for both power and the RGB function. The only ones I found online that specifically said they were PWM RGB LED 12V and FAN…

Has Microcenter looked into opening a Tampa Store?
I mean it's long overdue opening a store in Florida but in Miami at the moment is a long haul from Tampa. It's disappointing that the only option on the West Coast of Florida is a Bestbuy and their options are slim and limited. The only options outside of Bestbuy is Amazon or Mom and Pops shops.
