Just stumbled upon this website. And got into some interesting reading. I now know the cause of death for a number of motherboards that I have worked with. I also know the underlying reason of espionage and intrigue.
Thank you!
Thank you!

I have 2 access points, one a U6-LR and WZR-300HP running DD-WRT v3.0-r28444 (has had stable wifi since 2015)
and i am trying to work on my PICO W and it suddenly would not connect and my computer had a very hard time connecting and my dad had been complained about his phone connecting
so i ran a wifi scan script on the pico and it just hang for several seconds and found nothing, normally it would spit out every AP in under a second (both of mine and some neighbors)
What i did was just install a U6-Lite that i had not gotten around to installing to replace... -
That's now the second time in my repair career that a through hole resistor go short!
it was a Vishay CPF124K900FHB14 1W resistor measuring new 24.9kohm. <- notice the KILO ohm. Well now it measures 28.1 Ohm!
See picture and PDF attached. This is something very rare happening, but apparently it does happen!...

I have an LG Plasma TV 60PM6700 for the past ~12 years.
In the last ~3-4 months I have been having some issues.- Problem: It started with random picture disappearing (sound still worked).
Frequency: Happened about once a week.
Solution: Had to turn off TV wait a few seconds before turning it on again. - Problem: Then it got worse and the TV started to shut down and when turning on the no picture just sound.
Frequency: Happened about once a week.
Solution: Had to turn off TV wait about 10-20 seconds and turn it on again to solve. - Problem: TV shuts down

Good day folks. I thought I'd share with you something I did today, just for a laugh and for a bit of a discussion, since I'm still not entirely convinced what happened there.
I found an Akai LT-3220AD TV in the dumpster - literally - so me and my colleague brought it back into the shop and dusted it off a bit to see if someone maybe gave up too soon.
Long story short: backlight came on but had no picture. My colleague attempted to reprogram the SPI chip but it didn't change anything, so we concluded it must be the panel that's faulty, especially after reading about it...01-29-2024, 10:12 AM -
Attached schematic 🙂.
Laptop gives no signs of life. No fan and no CPU heat.
Think Engine BD4179MWV is hot on plugging in *AND* pressing the power button.
Discovered short to ground on VCC5M power delivery IC NB690GRP (5 volt line, not the high current VCC5M_PD) which is one of the ways that chip is powered. I'm puzzled.
Nothing else is warm on the board. CPU resistances are OK, 9V VSYS line is present from the BMIC. All misc and cables are disconnected.
What do you guys think happened? I've got two theories:
If the...I think ThinkEngine shorted first50.00%1I think 5V SMIC shorted first0%0I think something else happened50.00%1
