Makes me laugh to see that picture again. Never gets old. xDRecovering a BEFSR41 v1 and v2 router from solid red DIAG Light
I have two v2s and one v1.
I am still looking at these boards nearly every day.
What I'm doing: Planning an upgrade of my mining setup from Block Erupters to Red Furys.
Though, if the Block Erupters don't sell, I will keep using them for a while.Comment

Removed the case, figured I would look for anything... -

**Background:**
I recently purchased this Dell Precision 5820 Tower from a recycler who salvages equipment from abandoned office spaces. The computer was left behind by its previous owner and was password locked. Given that it can run Windows 11, I saw this as an opportunity to upgrade my setup.
**What I've Tried So Far:**

So I've worked on dozens of HP and Dell laptops and have never encountered this before.
Steps taken in my usual process.
Reset security settings in the BIOS
Ensure existing HD comes up into the OS
Shut down the laptop and disconnected the main battery

Replace battery connector and close up the laptop
Insert my USB drive with my Windows 10 image I've... -
