    Return of the BadCaps

    Anyone else noticing higher volumes creeping back into a lot of budget brand tvs.

    Those MEGMEET powersupplies are particularly prone.
    assuming, of course, the LEDs dont go first.

          The TV does not turn on, the standby indicator is on. All voltages are present.
          Emms is dead. Not readable, not detected.
          Replaced emmc.

          Problem

          This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

          WD Sentinel DS5100 (NAS) boot issues
          by DeanWy
          Hi all,

          I have a Western Digital Sentinel DS5100 NAS system which has stopped working. It has dual BIOS. I bought the system second hand with an already broken primary BIOS (it rebooted multiple times until second BIOS was used).

          It worked until recently. The system was idle in Windows Server 2012 and a BSOD occurred, I think it was 'critical process died'. Thereafter it didn't boot, it just sat there with no video output and fan speed at 100% (there's a proprietary Windows driver by WD which controls the fan, outside of that it always runs at 100%).

          There...

          Sincere thanks to the BadCaps community for your help 🙏

          Dear BadCaps community,




          I would like to sincerely thank everyone here for your help and support.

          Thanks to the files and clear instructions shared on this forum, I successfully updated the BIOS of my Intel DQ965GF (Guardfish) motherboard to version 6100.




          Everything went smoothly, and the system is now working perfectly.

          This update meant a lot to me — I’ve been learning about BIOS flashing for quite some time, and your guidance finally made it possible.




          I truly appreciate...
