      Aluminum SMD caps vs thru hole caps (reliability)
      by 13mh13
      The PCB motor for 1987 Technics SLP-120 CD player has slow spin-up issues. Similar to what another tech in the below video reported.

      I replaced the three bi-polar 47uF electros but that made no difference. The orig three bi-polar 47uF electros tested okay on my ESR M-tester.
      I have not tested/replaced those alum. SMD electro PCB caps.
      Are Al smd caps are more prone to failure (or degradation) than regular thru-hole electros?
      All the thru hole electros I removed / replaced on this CDP (and most...

      Lost MAC Address After BIOS Rewrite – Need Help Restoring on HP 800 G1 SFF
      by jjkevi
      Hi everyone,

      I’ve run into an issue with my HP 800 G1 Small Form Factor PC after performing a BIOS rewrite. Everything works except for one major problem — the MAC address for the onboard network adapter is missing.

      Here’s the situation:
      • Model: HP 800 G1 SFF
      • OS: Windows 10 Pro
      • Cause: After rewriting the BIOS, the system lost its original MAC address.
      • Symptoms:
        • Network adapter shows a generic or invalid MAC (or sometimes blank).
        • No Ethernet connectivity unless I use an external USB-to-Ethernet adapter.
      • What I’ve tried:
        • Checked BIOS settings (no MAC override

      Lost bios password on HP Spectre Pro 13 G1 (X2F00EA)
      by jerem57m
      Hello,
      I hope I'm in the right place to make my request. Now that I've made my presentation, I'd like to make a request regarding a 2017 HP Spectre PRO 13 G1 laptop. I have a lost BIOS password. I really don't remember setting a password on this computer, and after changing the battery, the computer no longer wants to boot without it. Can you help me remove the password?
      I read on the forum that someone who had a model similar to mine managed to remove the password, so I figured with any luck I'd find some help here.
      Exact information:
      Product: X2F00EA
      Trade name:...

      HP Probook 650 G4 - Lost power?During AMT de-provision process, now I get blackscreen
      by rive.hafintosh
      First here is how things went down.

      I entered the bios and began to de-provision Intel AMT - it began with a reboot and then prompted me to de-provision AMT - proceed Y/N -
      I pressed Y and hit enter, and I thought the PC shutdown, but perhaps it actually lost power at this point. I had the power adapter plugged in but apparently the plug from the wall came out of the brick when I wasn't noticing so 1 of two things could have happened…
      Something went wrong with the process, or it lost power during the process and corrupted something
      I tried making a HP recovery...
