    There is a nice utility there in Windows called swupdate by Asus. Asus update.
    It rocks! It udpates everything just fine, until time comes to updating BIOS. Swupdate does not update BIOS correctly and this is a common problem on these notebooks.

    To fix your issue:

    During boot FN + F2 to go to BIOS.
    Go to BOOT options
    Disable secure boot
    For OS Mode selection, select CSM and UEFI OS
    Save changes, and reboot






    Now obviously, this solution might not work for you because you might have a different problem with your notebook. Try and report back.


    P.S. Could you post boardview and schematic so I could download it and add it to my database of boardviews and schematics. Maybe I'll need it in the future.

          Check security section. It's there.

                  Have you replaced the hdd cable?
                  Do you hear the hdd working. I mean hdd making any sounds when turning the device on?
                  To me, it is very possibly a connection issues.

                      One of my customers reported just like your issue with his apple laptop. And it was the cable. But at time I was not expecting it to be the cable at all.

                      You can check the pins from both ends of the cable using the multimeter.

                      It is important to know if the hdd is making any sounds when powering on the laptop though..

                          Hi can I just create a JUMPER from from pin 1-3 of Q5101 to PIN 2 of SL5101 ? is it safe?

                            Aha I see. So the hdd in not connected via cable. It is directly connected via socket. So no cable issues.

                            With regard to the short connection. Why dont you just replace the mosfet ?

                            However, try to connect the hdd with out power the laptop. Just measure the resistant on the side that does not get the 5v...

                                You got 10 ohm to gnd on the sata connector without a drive plugged in? Thats too low. I'd suspect that small cap right next to the connector. Remove it and measure again! The pads on it look darkened. Something most likely shorted the rail and killed the fet. Also please measure gate voltage on the fet.

                                Do NOT bridge another 5v rail to it. This may cause more damage!

                                    Perfet. Well done! As always, just a little cap that breaks everything
                                    You can leave the cap unpopulated. It is just for EMI filtering and not important.

                                          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:**


                                          1. I accessed

                                          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...

                                          bug of the month: write caching setting for the hard drive in device manager
                                          by ChaosLegionnaire
                                          i recently bought a new wd re4 2tb with 2014 datecodes. when i got around to testing it tho in victoria hd tester, the write speed was very slow at 14 mb/s with a 256 sector transfer size. when i increased the transfer size to 1024 sectors, the write speed increased slightly to 44 mb/s. read speeds and sector verify speeds were fine and at normal speeds.

                                          so i just ass-u-med the drive's poor performance was due to it being an advanced format drive and i was using it on winxp. when i tried cloning my system disk to this wd re4 2tb drive and writing to it in linux, the write speed...
