VIA EPIA-V and Morex PSU

05-09-2006, 01:21 PM

Built a firewall for a friend a few years ago, based on a 533Mhz VIA Epia-V and a Morex case with it's own DC-DC 12v powersupply plus an external AC-DC brick...

The DC-DC PSU had 4 failed 1000uF 6.3v "E.V.A.TOP" capacitors, I replaced them with only 2x 3300uF 6.3v Rubycons, because they where installed in pairs so I think it was ok to do it that way, would have been difficult to fit them otherwise...

The mainboard itself has high quality Sanyo caps by the CPU, and some also spread out... But of course there is also one 1000uF 6.3v GSC capacitor by the external USB port header. I did not swap it out because USB is not in use on this firewall anyway...

The system has been running fanless all this time, it barley gets warm anyway

Hardware firewall to block ad servers?

by Hondaman

I found an interesting summary on a wiki that Youtube "right to repair" enthusiast Louis Rossman put up. He suggested I could use a hardware firewall and pfSense as a firewall, and use pfSenseNG as an ad blocker. Or use OPNSense as a similar alternative. Seems like it would be easy to set up, but it only runs on the hardware supported by BSD. (I'm sure the developers and maintainers of BSD are super-busy and cannot support every single piece of hardware out there, so I can't fault them.)

The trick, apparently, is to "assign IP address lists from sites like I-blocklist...

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).

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

Sophos XG86w Firewall forgets the date and time as well as the DMI environment variables after power cycle

by juergenb

Hello,

I have a small Sophos XG86w firewall here, which is still working so far. But there is a problem with the BIOS and the DMI environment variables.

The hardware forgets the date and time after a reboot or a power failure.
The DMI environment variables are also reset to default values.

I have now tried 2 different batteries (CR2032).
I reset the DMI vars via an EFI shell and with AMIDEEFI64 (v5.21.0057).

However, after a reboot or a power cycle, these values are reset again.

It is an Apollo Lake platform with an Intel...

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.

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 ....
