Optiplex GX270 that stopped working

01-12-2013, 08:13 PM

I have a Optiplex GX270 that stopped working and gave an error message of PnPl. I checked the error log and it had many. I visually inspected all the caps, but none seemed to have a blown top.

I now suspect the CPU has gone bad, but I do not know which CPU to order nor how to get it out. Your help would be greatly appreciated.]

Reseat the cards and clear the CMOS. Then replace the CR2032 battery.

Dell Optiplex 5050 SFF - strange behavior and service_mode jumper not working anymore

by MMH3

Hello,

i have many 5050sff. all of them, and how i experienced over many years for all about 250 DELLs goin through my hands, are fully flashable and can be serviced in any way when the service_mode jumper is set.
Never ever i experienced problems with that.

Now i have one 5050sff machine, where this jumper isnt working at all.
I do not get the normal messge that the jumper is set when booting and a short test with FPT just confirms this. Everything is locked -->> EVEN for reading !?

The history of the machine is that i used it in my office...

HP F4180 stopped working please help troubleshoot

by flat-earther

I was doing a large print job with my HP Deskjet F4180, and after about 50 pages the printer stopped in the middle of a page and the black ink light started flashing.
So I went to refill the black ink cartridge with a syringe, but found out it still had a lot of ink.

I tried to print a page again but every time it would print only a bit of the page and immediately stop with the black ink light flashing again.
I tried two other black ink cartridges, and the problem still endured, so I knew this problem had to be with the printer itself.

I ran HP Print and Scan...

Dremel Li-Ion Charger Stopped Working

by thaphatmaster

This is my dremel charger for one of the Dremel / Bosch 10.8v (3s1p) Li-Ion packs. There are many like it, but this one is broken.

It stopped responding the other day. No light when a battery is inserted, no voltage at the output when tested.

The dremel itself and its battery are fine and working.

Looking online, many people just replace this type of charger with an Aliexpress version. However most of the through hole components look straightforward enough to replace if they are broken.

I'll do some basic poking about (continuity checks etc)...

Asus H77 LGA1155 mainboard stopped working with Ivy Bridge CPUs

by Roman555
Bad symptoms when Ivy Bridge CPU (3rd-gen 22nm) is installed:
- Won't boot OS (just blank screen or stucks at asus logo, monitor is turned on) with hangs at debug (post) code A3;
- USB stick with MS-DOS can be loaded via F8 boot menu;
- Other OSes won't load - hangs or goes reboot;
- Postponed for several seconds reaction to Alt-Ctrl-Del, Reset and Power buttons;
- An operating system starts loading but won't finish if it's left only 1 CPU core in BIOS settings;
What I've already done and it hasn't helped:
- Cleared CMOS many times;
- Flashed different versions of BIOS in a CH341 programmer;
- Updated
