    Clean up the board and see how bad the damage is.

    You certainly need to replace some components and some trace rework might also be needed.

    If you don't have any soldering experience, an easier solution would be to just replace the PCB with a new one.

      Check for shorted diodes nearby.

              **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:**

              Repairing a Seagate hard drive with damaged logic board
              by karto95
              Hello everyone,

              I'm currently facing an issue with my Seagate hard drive that has a damaged logic board. I've obtained a replacement logic board from a donor hard drive, but unfortunately, I'm unable to recover the BIOS of the original board due to damaged firmware. I'm wondering if it's possible to make the hard drive work with this donor logic board.

              I have a CH341A programmer, so I'm hoping that it can be useful in this situation. I've attached the BIOS file .bin of the donor board for reference.

              If anyone has any suggestions or experience with this...

              Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
              by Tynan Dill
              I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

              Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

              I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

              The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

              With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

              Assuming...

              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...

              The 3.5 enclosure do not have internal switching power supplies and use a small switching wall wart power supply really

              I need a cd rom drive for my new computer and do not want to use a 2.5 cd rom drives

              The switching power supply in the old enclosure has nice heat sinks and has a cooling fan in the enclosure that is the main reason why I want to repurpose for this project
