    Re: Anyone noticed an outbreak of Cryptolocker malware lately?

    Oddly enough it took a while for me to find someone who got affected by Cryptolocker of some sort...otherwise I have never seen it before... A friend's mom contracted it somehow.

    Sigh...hate it when people try to profit from ransom.

        EVIL MUST BURN IN HELL! xD

        I haven't heard about this at all, and I haven't gotten any spam emails for it.
        I'm pretty good about where I submit my email. (Doesn't mean I can't get spammed though!)

        I also use Norton, which is paid.
        Never had a problem with Norton, been using it for like 4 years, and we also use it here on other computers and have had no problems as well.
        lol, doesn't mean it can't happen, but still...

                Excuse me while i do something dangerous


                You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

                Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

                    Old KSC Digmoda DDC552 Bang and Olufson ICE amp My mission to repair.
                    by abajor
                    I'm about to take a journey into repairing this 3 Channel ICE amp. It's got a bunch of fun components I am not familiar with like Direct Stream Digital chips. It also has some onboard Digital Signal Processor which I haven't identified yet.

                    I am not familiar with ICE amp circuits other than they are a type of PWM amplifier so I'm assuming they require a ton of high frequency filtering on the output. I'm also assuming that the output of the DSD chips probably directly feed the ICE amp signal since DSD is also essentially PWM or creating an averaged AC signal using high frequency ~2MHz...

                    iMac A1418 - No LED, no power after overvoltage on Ethernet port
                    by ryogadan78
                    Hi guys, I need your help again.
                    I have this iMac from a customer that shut down during a storm along with all the other devices in the house. In particular, the router, connected via Ethernet to the iMac, caught fire.
                    When I removed the screen from the iMac to check the status of the LEDs, I noticed that none of them were lit. I had a perfectly compatible and working power supply, so I tried it right away, but the problem remained the same (no LEDs). With the thermal camera, I noticed only a slight warming (32 degrees) of the NCP1605BG chip on the power supply. The rest was completely...

                    Hoover FM216LI cordless vacuum refuses to charge
                    by flat-earther
                    I have a Hoover FM216LI cordless vacuum which isn't charging its internal battery.

                    I opened up the unit, and it has 6x Samsung ICR18650-22P cells connected in series.
                    5 cells were at about 3.3-3.1V. one was at 2.4V, so I assumed this cell was bad that's why the vacuum wasn't charging so I replaced it with another 18650, but after that the problem still persists, the vacuum turns on a bit and then cuts out since the batteries are empty.

                    So I think the over discharged battery wasn't the culprit, it was a symptom of the unit not being able to charge its batteries....

                    Odyssey G9 Neo backlight partial failure.
                    by gaelican
                    I have an Odyssey Neo G9 that I was working on for a separate issue. After removing the motherboard and putting it back a few times I noticed that the lights on the display have stopped turning on altogether. I was able to determine that when the middle section for the backlights is disconnected, then the left and right side turn on, indicating that the fault is obviously in that area.

                    After closely inspecting the mainboard I noticed that on the back side of it a few capacitors have been partially moved, one fully knocked off. I replaced the missing one with a new cap with the same...

                    Acer 6920G with strange error - sometimes boots and sometimes not, and rare fan noise
                    by CasasElectronics
                    Hi, I've been troubleshooting this PC for a while but I cannot repair it for now.

                    The error on this PC was the known graphics card soldering problem (or that was what I was thinking), so I took a 3470 from a 5920G and installed it.

                    The video after that worked, so I thought the problem was solved. When I tried to install windows, I noticed a problem: the ACER logo (bios load) stopped after completing the loading bar (and that was in every power on, but sometimes not even charged the Acer logo screen, I only could see a blinking white bar).
                    So I thought it may be...
