    Thermaltake-chinese or taiwanese?

    Looks like thermaltake pulled a fast one or uses the same label for all fans.







    Seems like they could have gone the extra mile and just used a different label or modified this one...the OEM is hong sheng, which is a Taiwanese funded company out of Hepan Industrial Zone, Hengli Village,
    Hengli Town, Dongguan City, China. Hmmm....

        Has one ball and one sleeve bearing

        Lost the box long ago, but I recall being suspicious about "long life ball bearing" (not plural)

          sounds like thermaltake should be avoided.

              Thats what I was thinking, to me they are about the same. Especially since hong shen is in china, just funded by thermaltake and other Taiwanese companies to produce their products.

                Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
                by momaka
                I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591771


                https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591772

                It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                Magnum IA.100 Amplifier Switches on, No Output, Possible Input Side fault?
                by flibidy
                I have here a Magnum IA.100 which belongs to my parents.



                The unit powers on & when the relay kicks in, you get a pop from the speakers (this might sound weird but is usual behavior for this amp). However, you get nothing coming through it from any of the inputs & no pops and crackls from any of the controls.


                Because of the sound from the speaker when the amp turns on I have assumed that the output section probably works but I could be wrong & I'm not sure how to test that side of things further.


                What Ive done........

                Copy DMI info easily with Hex editing software and Macro script
                by SMDFlea
                Copying DMI information from an old bios to a new one is difficult for some members, often they have no experience with a hex editor,or some that have tried find it too hard.There is an option to make things easier for those members so that they don`t need to post their own bios backup for the DMI copying.

                Experienced bios modding members can help by posting in other threads the DMI offsets,macro script generated by the software and a download link to the software at softpedia mentioned in this guide,or post your macros in the comments here with a link to the bios request thread ....

                Dell XPS 15 9570 - LA-G341P - Power cycling after liquid damage and blown ISL88738
                by ZixuTech
                I am dealing with this LA-G341P, which had heavy liquid damage around the Audio board, Battery charging circuit. I went and cleaned liquid areas and left the audio board disconnected.

                It had blown PQ1900/02/3 as well as a trace on PU1900. I replaced all 4, and now it turns on and switches off. With a connected battery, it turns on and stays on for a while, even loading the system, then cuts off suddenly.


                Charger only - without a battery, the PQ201/PD200 area gets hot. I can see the chipset and CPU also warm up for a second trying to pull up to 2A, then cust off....

                [Help]Reading EC - T14 G1 AMD with RT809h
                by b0n3v
                Hello everyone!
                I try to read the EC ITE/IT8300FN where the bios password is stored.
                The laptop is Lenovo T14 G1 AMD Ryzen 4650U, the MB is NM-C801.

                I can't read the chip with RT809H with ITE board and PFC cable. Might be I need to do something more to enable programing mode(SPI Enable?).
                I saw the post in another forum for T14s AMD (different MB but same EC configuration and pinouts) and one user successfully read and write the the same chip with SVOD3.

                Some details what i did:
                Battery and CMOS battery is unplugged.
                I click Read and then...
