    IIRC, the guidance was updated about 2 years ago, which is fairly recent in the grand scheme of things. The security services of the UK refresh equipment very frequently (weeks and months, not years), so I don't think your cute NORAD anecdote is relevant in this instance.
    So, to be clear, you think ANYTHING and EVERYTHING the government does is current and accurate and universally applicable to all situations, right?

    Nice to see you have so much blind faith in them!

    Did you get your RDA of essential vitamins and nutrients, today? And, have you obeyed all posted speed limits (remember, they are for your own good!)?

    To the OP: Obviously, jondoe is the expert here -- and probably everywhere else, as well! Please heed his advice on the matter. But please do let us know how long that "fastest secure wipe" took you to complete so we can all base our future potential disk sales on that information -- and opt to just discard rather than wipe when the estimated time involved becomes excessive (or, when a wiped sector fails to verify and we are left with no alternative but to trash the drive).

    [Or, we can choose to take other advice and actually make the sale ]

      No, I didn't say that, you're implying that as it fits your diatribe, but whatever.

      OP can take whosoever advice on the matter he/she/it wants, opinions are like arse holes, everyone's got one, and I guess yours is bigger than mine

            Need help for HP ProBook 445R G6 Secure boot key removal from BIOS dump
            by ktcar214
            Hello.
            I tried to add a custom secure boot key (for secure booting Linux) to my bios, but after this, my laptop bricked. After adding secure boot key (via PowerShell) and enabling secure boot my laptop turns on, shows HP logo, and after 5 seconds it turns off and on, and it repeats forever.

            My goal is to either turn off secure boot or remove my custom key from BIOS dump.

            I'll attach my bios dump (version R79_011700) from my bios chip 25b127dsig, my keys (PK/KEK/db), and bios dump from another HP ProBook 445R G6(I found it on this forum. URL: https://www.ba...

            Lenovo T15 gen 1 secure boot
            by badcaps411
            Hello,

            I have a Lenovo T15 gen 1 where I can't get the secure boot disabled. I think it is related to the security chip. The BIOS is completely free, no password or anything. The only problem is that the option to disable secure boot is grayed out. Trying to boot it, GRUB 2.02 starts and expects a certain Software. If you want to change something you need to enter a username and password. While experimenting, I was able to load the firmware from the hard drive. There I found signed files, in one also the hashed password (cracking probably not possible in lifetime). It was probably...

            A1312 (27” iMac 2009-2011) A1407 (Thunderbolt Display) A1316 (Cinema Display) Display Black Screen Repair

            Problem

            This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

            Asrock rx570 - sam001.009 - secure memory validation failure
            by gsegpitd
            I'm trying to diagnose my Asrock Phantom gaming D Radeon RX570 8G which produces an error 43 upon loading Windows drivers.

            "./tserver -boardtest=quickmfg" fails with message "sam001.009", which implies this is a "secure memory validation" failure.

            I can't seem to find any useful information regarding this failure, or this "secure memory" in general, on my own and am now under the assumption the gpu bga itself will need replacement (which is somewhat beyond my capabilities/comfort zone).

            Does anyone have any further...
