    Lenovo s145-15api work fine after bios flash for some time, like a few restarts or power cycles.

    Hi! I have a Lenovo s145-15api Ryzen 5 3500u, he need a bios reflash, i made that (tried with ch341a and ezp2023+). I tried a lot of dumps, and all do the same, so i think is a hardware problem. So after reflash, laptop work fine a short time, after some restart or power on/off, the laptop have again same symptoms, need a new bios. Do it again and again and same result. What are u think is the problem?

    Some component is either bad or issue like dry solder near Bios chip. Its the heat which is making it work.

    Dont flash bios this time when it stops working and instead heat the bios chip a bit and see if it comes alive for the time being.

      Reball the CPU. Very common issue with that model.

        Nikon D800 camera - flash don’t work and capacitor don’t charge
        by corrize
        Hello, I'm stuck in troubleshooting…
        The flash system works like that : when the (mechanic) flash button is pressed, the flash mecanically pop up, and a circuit buck boost elevate 7v (batt) to 200-300v (?) for charging the big capacitor. And when the photo shoot button is pressed, the capacitor is discharged in the xeon light.

        In the D800, there is a first « power board » close to the battery. 2 wires (batt 7v) goes to another little « flash board ». I measured 7v, so ok.
        When I press the flash button, it's detected by the system, flash icon appear on LDC display....

        For Badcaps Readers, Please note that I am hopefully going to present this same message to Lenovo to see if they have any insight to the matter as well and figured to share the entirety here for clarification. The System is out of warranty as it is but does have the option to have it extended.

        Hofmann geodyna 6300 Wheel balancer
        by Grouickman
        Hi there,

        First, I'm not sure it's the right section to post for this type of device, but could not think of something better.

        Ok, so my son (a mechanic) bought a faulty Hofmann Geodyna 6300 wheel balancer (which appears to be mostly a re-branded Snap-on wheel balancer).

        I'm looking for any resources (doc, manuals, schematics) that would be available for this device or anyone that would have any knowledge on this particular device (or its Snap-On equivalent).

        I'm trying to diagnose the fault(s ?), but I can't find any schematic (appart from the...

        Xiaomi router freezes at boot after re-capping
        by hinisa
        I'm using Xiaomi Router 4A gigabit edition as wireless repeater. It worked fine for 2 years or so, but last week, wireless started to disappear.

        When I unplug/replug the power, it was working fine for a day/half a day or so until it freezes again.

        After testing with different power supply adapters and concluding it wasn't the issue I finally opened the case and this was the situation:



        Anyway I proceed to clean up the mess and replace all caps but unfortunately it made the situation worse. Now router can't even boot, either it freezes during...

        Request: SPI Flash BIOS Dump (Winbond 25Q128) for Dahua NVR4216-4KS2
        by spmetroil
        Hello,

        I am trying to repair a Dahua NVR4216-4KS2 that is not booting.
        The main BIOS/firmware is stored in an SPI flash EEPROM (Winbond 25Q128, labeled as U130 on the PCB).

        I have a CH341A programmer and I already attempted the following steps:
        1. Identified the correct chip (W25Q128, 3.3V SPI flash).
        2. Tried to read the contents with CH341A Programmer software. The dump seems corrupted and I often get the error: “Chip with the contents are in disagreement.”
        3. Compared several chip type selections (24Cxx and 25Qxx families) to confirm it is indeed a 25 series SPI
