Re: Another HDD issue
Turn the drive upside down and rerun the same tests again.Comment

Re: Another HDD issue
Thanks blasterboomer for running that test. Sparkey 55 your pretty funny. Of course one could put the drive on the same speed motor and try to make sure it is always seeking and writing with the pull of gravity.
I will take these error codes and bring them back to the source WD and see if they have a better explanation. Will post findings if they get back to me.Comment

ok, thanksComment

Re: Another HDD issue
This is the response from WD. They will need the serial number of the HD so it will be best for you to respond to them. You may attach this email and just explain that I was trying to help you.Comment

Re: Another HDD issue

Re: Another HDD issue

Re: Another HDD issue
All they could tell me is that bad blocks or sectors caused your HD to run slow. They did offer 25% off of a new HD . I attached the reply from WD.Comment

Re: Another HDD issue
Yeah sometimes it's slowed down, but still usable, but in most cases (in my experience), it's pretty much unusable.
But hey, at least you are getting 25% off of a new HDD! They could have just told you that your warranty has expired.Keyboard not detected, press F1 to continue...Comment

Re: Another HDD issue
Seems to me that the bad sectors are in disk management space of the bad drive. For some reason your software will not permanently reallocate that space.Comment

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck — hoping someone here can shed some light.
🛠 Original Issue
The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C — stuck at 5V.
Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.
I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.
⚠️ New Problem: One USB-C Port Only Works in One Orientation... -
I have three identical-spec 820-01700 boards (2.6/32/512), and ALL THREE boards came to us with the same fault, from different sources: The boards don't wake from hibernation with the keyboard or lid, they ONLY wake when you press the power button. I understand this is a very minor issue, but the boards must be fixed!
We will of course begin with the obvious (checking lid signals), but I couldn't help but notice these three boards were all 32GB variants. Has anyone noticed an issue relating to these 32GB boards in particular? I of course don't think it's a RAM issue, but it's bizarre... -

Hello guys!
I have a strange issue with my laptop keyboard and I'm lost trying to detect what's wrong - the KB9028Q-C or the keyboard itself.
It powers on OK and has no other issues except the following:- CAPS LOCK does not work at all
- Fn button toggles Flight Mode
- When I press 't' or '5', it produces 't5', and when I press 'y' or '6', it produces 'y6'
- (with SHIFT pressed: 't%' and 'y^' respectively)
but when I press and hold...06-27-2025, 01:10 AM -
Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing an issue with my Alienware 15 R2 (Service Tag: DL7NN32). The laptop works perfectly when connected to the AC adapter — it powers on and functions normally. However, the battery does not charge. If I disconnect the DC adapter, the laptop shuts down immediately, as the battery is at 0%. I have replaced the battery with a new compatible one, but the issue persists. I also replaced the AC adapter with a compatible one, but the battery still doesn't charge.
To assist with troubleshooting, I'm attaching two power circuit schematics:- Power

Hello everyone,
I am experiencing a BIOS-related issue with my Dynabook Satellite Pro C50D-B-100. When I power on the laptop, the screen stays black, and there is no response from the system. I suspect a corrupted BIOS.
