What caps were installed ?

Sorry! Here you go...

Capacitors are "Qunio" series CD110 - Never heard of them.

Unsure what caused the failure. May have been PSU, although voltage tests OK on bench without load.

Toshiba HDTW230XS3CA 3TB external drive died

by m710q_flash

I had been using this hard drive for a while, and it worked fine only going back and forth between 3 computers.

Plugged it into an older computer that happened to have a really loose USB port. Light flashed once and died, never to be powered up again. Not sure if it's relevant that the USB port was loose.

**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:**

1. I accessed...

HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G2 won't detect a drive after reformat.

by perfm2

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
Removed old M2 drive and replaced with a new 1tb Mushkin Temptest NVME drive. (I'm aware the bus is Sata III but the drive should still work at a slower speed right? Been my experience in other laptops)
Replace battery connector and close up the laptop
Insert my USB drive with my Windows 10 image I've...
