      Re: Is this forum dead?

      The forum's home page states that the number of members is currently 186,016. Of this number probably less than 30 are actively involved in support at this time. Other helpers have come and gone, but most "members" aren't any more genuine than FaeceBook friends. I reckon perhaps 10% come here on a one-time basis to get free advice for their particular problem, while the remaining 90% are mostly people who go through the annoying process of temporary membership just so that they can access the otherwise invisible attachments.

      Now take these 30 or so helpers. It may have escaped your attention, but a large proportion of these are not based in the good ol' US of A. I, for one, am probably asleep while you are typing your complaints. So that leaves maybe 10 or 20 people to answer your question and the questions of every other visitor. Is it any wonder then that you may need to wait more than 30 minutes for a response? BTW, I participate in numerous other forums and I suspect that other regular members may do likewise.

                            It's a skiddie! Lol...
                            Hell, not even skiddie status. A skiddie would know how to setup a bot to hammer your login through proxies (or a botnet... Nah, asking too much)
                            I would swing the ban hammer myself. But hey, I've seen first hand how forgiving you can be TC. Your call boss

                            You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

                            Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

                                      what a dumb@$$. Someone didn't think all right at that point. Obviously he or she has no idea what tools forum Mods, SuperMods and Admins have.

                                            Hi all,

                                            As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?

                                            I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.

                                            Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard...

                                            hello guys,

                                            i need help to repair a edm-033 ps2
                                            history : as always hdmi port and usb ports destroyed after unplugged
                                            after change them, ps5 dead too : 1 beep, no blue light. after inspection 1.8v power was shorted, and because of dead panasonic chip. after remove it : no short anymore
                                            so i changed it
                                            now i have got 5v stby,, 3.3v stby, 3.3v power, 1.8v power and no short on them
                                            but the ps5 is dead again : 1 beep, near 10 seconds with power lines and then off, no blue light ...

                                            i don't see any projection of liquid metal on pcb.
                                            ...

                                            Hello everyone hope all doing well!
                                            I have this PSU (GPS450-AA delta oem) around for like 4-5 years and I had it recapped early 2020 or 2021 with mostly UCC KY and Nichicon PW's. The bulk was and still is fine, the original Ltec's were bloated and empty. The previous issue was some major coil whine noise and at times random shutdowns when going idle. Today it started tripping the mains breaker and I think I have dead APFC mosfets (20N60C3). Right now upon checking I have the Q1 and Q3 FETs dead so far and I guess those are responsible for the PFC circuit. The only thing I care is If there...

                                            Finding a dead short component

                                            Hi guys!
                                            I searched for the term "dead short" in the forum but no specific thread came up however if I'm just blind and couldn't see the thread talking about this please forward me to that direction.
                                            So my problem is I don't know how to find the source of a dead shorted voltage rail. Dead short = ~0 ohm resistance.
                                            I have two VGAs (HD 4850 and HD 4870), both dead shorted to ground on the memory rail. I have the boardview file for the 4870 and the memory rail consists around ~7892346 capacitors...
                                            I have a bench PSU and if I try to inject voltage the voltage...

                                            MSI Raider GE75 - Not posting, probable dead CPU
                                            by FiguringITout
                                            Hello, today I'm working on this lovely MSI Raider GE75 gaming laptop which I bought to flip. Unfortunately, I believe the CPU is toast but I wanted a second opinion before I chucked it into my spare parts bin. I will not have most tools with me today as I'm away from my workbench but I have the basics (a good multimeter, a horrible iron, a solid screwdriver, and my trusty thermal cam). I do not have the original 230w charger, but I have a Dell 180w which was sold with the device and reportedly "worked fine for them".

                                            Specs: I7-10750H, RTX 2060, 32GB RAM (unknown manufacturer)...
