    Anything here worth salavaging?

    So I'm about to dump this Sanyo DSR-3709 video recorder which isn't worth much and is probably faulty. I only paid a couple of quid for it and only for the 2 x hard drives in it.

    Anyhow was wondering if anything in it is worth salvaging aside from the hard drives. Looks to have some decent caps in it especially in the power supply side?

    Rubycon ZL caps and a large cap, theres some switches / leds etc. Worth pulling out?

    keep the rotary encoder and buttons.
    keep all of it infact.

    stuff i would keep is the entire psu, the buttons, the rotary encoder, any ram,flash,eeproms or cpu's
    and any surface-mount tantalum caps.
    specially the tantalum caps.

      Which ones are tantalum caps?

      I was thinking just the psu and the two brown boards.

          Since the power supply is small, I suggest keeping it intact. It is good to learn how a SMPS works and you can easily make measurements for learning purposes.

            **Need Help Unlocking BIOS and Hard Drive on Dell Precision 5820 Tower**
            by federalhouse
            Hi everyone,

            I'm in need of assistance with a Dell Precision 5820 Tower. The BIOS is locked with "Dell Security Manager," preventing access to the HDD-1 hard drive.


            **Background:**

            I recently purchased this Dell Precision 5820 Tower from a recycler who salvages equipment from abandoned office spaces. The computer was left behind by its previous owner and was password locked. Given that it can run Windows 11, I saw this as an opportunity to upgrade my setup.


            **What I've Tried So Far:**

            Sony OLED XR-77A80J - 5 Flashes But Turn On After Hard Reset
            by odie34
            I am a hobbyist (not a professional) so please be gentle...

            I recently received an XR-77A80J that wouldn't turn on. (Repeating 5 flashes when plugged in.)

            I did a hard reset by holding the power button for about 30 seconds until the set powered down. I then tried to turn it on and it powered up, bringing me to the setup screen. There's not a lot of detail on the setup screen but the picture didn't have any distortions, so at least a cursory examination suggests no physical damage to the screen. The set appeared to be working normally, but it shut down after about 15 seconds,...

            PC case - Hard drive rails
            by tmcw
            A friend gave me his old PC case (with MB, and PSU), but no hard drive rails, he said he only used the 2.5" SSD spot inside, and used an external hard drive for data. He said that he'd have a look for the supplied rails, but I doubt he'll find them.

            So I was wondering if case manufacturers used any type of standard 3.5" hard drive rail?

            I'm used to the various Dell hard drive caddies or rails (and HP and Lenovo to a lesser extent), or el cheapo cases where you screw through the frame to fix the drive.

            Now, the case is a CiT Gaming Case, and...
