    A DVD Copy Problem

    I have a silly problem with this PC now. Just the other day I put two 256 meg sticks in it for 512 total. Didn't have or expect any problems from that. Well I unhooked my PC to hook up one I was working on. I came to find out that my Cmos was dead. I replaced it. I then checked the CMOS setting...ect. Now when I use Magic DVD Copier on a new movie disk it works fine as always. I sometimes have to back up one of my copies because it get beat up by the kids. Now I can't copy my copies again. This is a problem that I've never had before. The drive will read the disk into memory then fail on the burn. Any ideas? These disks I am backing up are still perfectly playable its just that I like them to be perfect.

      A lot of copying programs don't allow re-copying a burned disc. Maybe rip the copy with DVD Shrink and re-burn with Nero or similar?

          I think I found the problem here. Its the Cheap assed Dynex blanks I'm using. The DVD drive can't identify them correctly and fails on the beginning of the burn. Its time to go buy some good blanks. Thats the way it goes. I paid a junk price, and got just that, Junk.

              ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING - M.2_2 port not working correctly with SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD
              by DynaxSC
              Hi,

              I have an really very weired issue with ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING.

              Some NVME (PCIe) SSD's are not working correctly in the second M.2 socket. An example of it is the SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD.
              Some other NVME (I have only smaller ones) disk do work without any problem, also SAMSUNG disks, eg an MZVPV128HDGM-0000.

              The behaviour is also really very strange, i.e.:
              • The disk shows always up in BIOS - so it is recognized, so far so good
              • POST-ing with this disk with fresh Windows 24H2 installation (done in the M.2_1 socket) in the M.2_2 socket
              ...

              Problem with LG Plasma 60PM6700 - Random power downs
              by theone111
              I have an LG Plasma TV 60PM6700 for the past ~12 years.

              In the last ~3-4 months I have been having some issues.
              1. 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.
              2. 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.
              3. Problem: TV shuts down

              by dj-bobr
              Hi,
              I kindly ask for help with Thinkpad BIOS/ME repair.
              Thinkpad W541 board bought from Aliexpress, so I have no service tag nor S/N. It is 1GB version Q1 (K1100 nVidia GPU). BIOS 2.23, EC 1.13, ME 9.1.32.1002.
              It worked fine until I tried to remove whitelist.

              Steps taken:
              - battery out, CMOS coin cell out, laptop disassembled; I kept LAN/USB subboard connected
              - i took SPI programmer (CH341A with 3.3V mod) and SOIC clip and did a full backup of all SPI flash chips (SPI1 and SPI2 - BIOS, EC, ME, GbE; SPI3 - video BIOS; SPI4 - Thunderbolt fw) for several...
