When you plug it in, does the computer recognize it's attached? If so, then it's turning on, so the issue could just be with the display. If the computer isn't recognizing it, the issue could be with the USB port, and maybe the earlier issue with the lines on the screen was an indicator it wasn't getting enough power.
I've had my Model One for about 5 years, but I switched to a ColdCard and a Passport a few years ago, and have only been using my Trezor T2 for Monero ever since. It's been a at least two years, maybe more since I've plugged in my Model One.

I should have scrutinized the email more thoroughly, but given all the issues Ledger has had in recent years, I totally fell for it. It did indeed turn out to be a fake, phishing email with a malicious link (that I didn't click,) of course.
The email looks totally legit. Be vigilant out there, folks.
Just got this email from Ledger:
Ledger is the worst hardware wallet in existence, and no serious person should be using it. If this isn't Ledger's death knell, then I don't know what will be.

Re: How to Hide Your Bitcoin Transaction (Without CoinJoin)

Moment of honesty:
Let's be honest know... Most people, especially within this forum care about privacy because they want to hide their income from the authorities. They dislike taxes and they don't wanna mess with all the laws that surround cryptocurrencies. I dislike most taxes as well, but tax evasion is illegal and I don't encourage it.

Attempting to hide money from authorities is nearly impossible, and also dangerous. Tax evasion is far more risky than the rewarding. Don't get me wrong, I firmly believe that taxes are theft, pure and simple. Nevertheless, governments have the ability to make our lives miserable if we don't play by their rules.
In this day and age, there's nothing you can do to hide money from the global surveillance state, certainly not any significant quantity. Even if you sell bitcoin for cash on the street, what expensive items are you going to buy with it that won't draw attention? Sure, you can sell enough to buy groceries, some furniture, and maybe even a used car without drawing too much attention. But, you can't buy a new car or house with that money. In the US we have a law that forces banks to disclose to the IRS whenever we deposit $600 of cash or more into our accounts, so there's really nothing you can effectively hide from them except for some pocket money.

Hi guys
I don’t want to use CoinJoin, but want to increase your privacy (to make tracing transactions hide) on Bitcoin is it possible?
Any other methods?

As has already been mentioned, privacy means different things to different people.
The only way to gain anonymity is to use a decentralized exchange and convert your bitcoin to a privacy coin like monero, send the monero to a couple of different addresses in varying quantities, then sell those different quantities to for bitcoin making sure all the transactions end up in different addresses, preferably at different times. Then make sure to not combine any of the coins in those addresses. It's worth mentioning that no centralized service can guaranty anonymity.
Simple privacy can be attained just by not reusing addresses and not combining UTXOs.

Re: I forgot my bitcoin wallet passphrase, can I use the bitcoin wallet key?
I forgot the passphrase to open the wallet to send funds or change passphrase to the locked wallet, but I do have the key for the wallet.
It sounds like you might be using Bitcoin Core, but I'm still not sure so I'll make some assumptions. If so, then yes, you can recover your wallet with the private key. I'm also assuming you have a single private key you'll want to import into a new wallet. Depending on the version of Bitcoin Core you're using (21 and later, IIRC,) it may not allow you to do so without jumping through some hoops. I recently posted the method for doing so here:

You haven't provided enough information. Do you have a seed phrase wallet with an additional word, i.e. Bip39 passphrase? Or do you mean you forgot the password to you wallet file? What software are you using. The more detail you can provide the better we can help.
You've been around long enough that I probably don't have to tell you to not post any private keys, seed phrases, or passwords, and don't trust anyone offering help in PM.

Instead of going with the whole on-chain fantasy football thing, which would be complicated & cumbersome, I'm trying to organize an on-forum Weekly Pick 'Em game.. Whoever guesses the most winning teams each week wins a small prize, sponsored by a casino most likely. I will start a new thread for it and link it here when its active. Its more for the fun and honor of being right than anything else.
That sounds very similar to the pick-em pool I hosted on sleeper last year. It was a lot of fun. Something that's hosted purely on the forum would be fun also. It might end up attracting a lot more people that my pool did, and therefore get more people interested in football.

bpip was created by suchmoon? i don't remember - thanks to all
BPIP is “owned” by ibminer&suchmoon, they are the BPIP team..I can't say for certain who created Bpip, but it was originally operated by Vod. He relinquished control to suchmoon and ibminer some years ago.
And what local messenger do citizens use?
I noticed that WhatsApp is very popular there, Telegram is used by fewer people.
To register in WhatsApp, you need a phone number, and even if you use a VPN, it will not ensure privacy

I'm not sure if it's government restrictions preventing people from making calls on Whatsapp. I have lots of family in Jordan, and some of them can while most can't. I think it's one of the bigger mobile phone plan carriers (Orange?) that's limiting phone calls on Whatsapp, while the smaller carriers don't seem to have those restrictions. What's funny is that the ones who can't use Whatsapp for calls can use Facebook Messenger to make calls, even though both apps are operated by Meta.
If privacy is a must, neither of those apps is recommended. Even though Whatsapp claims phone calls are end to end encrypted, they're still routed through a centralized server and the encryption isn't controlled by the end user.
Could i use this as collateral to get me a loan here?
No! Because it's obvious that:
I have a list with games/consoles i have to sell
All you're doing is trying to trick a lender into buying your shitty, old junk that you want to sell anyway. No one will every give you a loan on this site, not now, not ever. I doubt you could even get someone to lend to you if you had 120% altcoins for collateral. Nobody wants the headache of dealing with a fucking retarded troll like you.
How well will it hold up if submerged in water or subject to a fire?
Well, better than Ledger Recover, but still not as appealing as a piece of paper locked up in a document safe. A water and fire resistant document safe can be found for around $50, requires a combination (PIN) for retrieval of the backup, and isn't likely to suffer from failure due to electrical or magnetic discharge. Well stored paper has been known to last for centuries, so this really seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
Maybe I'm just an old-fashioned luddite, so what do I know.

Is it possible to generate BIP39 seeds with the Trezor?
I'd like to create an address (or more) through Trezor, but it would need to be with BIP39 to be able to store it with my cryptosteel

The 20-word phrase you created is Bip-39 compatible. You can restore it in any hardware or software wallet that supports Bip-39.
I read some time ago a comment about having 2 BTC addresses on Trezor, how do you do that?
My thought is to have one address with a few satoshis and another with my main wallet

Each wallet produces many addresses, far more than just two. There are also two ways to create additional wallets. First by creating additional accounts (derivation paths of the same seed phrase) and second by creating a passphrase to extend your seed phrase (i.e. 21st word.) The first method doesn't add any additional security for the second wallet, but adding an extension to your seed phrase does increase security.
You can use either method to create as many wallets as you like, again, far more than two.
