    Amy Winehouse found dead

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14262237

    Singer Amy Winehouse, 27, has been found dead at her north London home.

    A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed that a 27-year-old woman had died in Camden and that the cause of death was as yet unexplained.

    London Ambulance Service said it had been called to the flat at 1554 BST and sent two vehicles but the woman died.

    The troubled singer had a long battle with drink and drugs which overshadowed her recent musical career. She pulled out of a comeback tour last month.
    For some reason this was to be expected, at least for me. She came in drunk at her last concert (in Serbia), and the rest of her European tour was then canceled. She was supposed to also have a concert in Romania on the 15th of August... Never been a fan of her, but it's never good news when an artist dies.

    Hope they got better rehab clinics on the other side.

        How can I be sure that my EC chip is dead?
        by double_DD
        Hi all,

        As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?

        I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.

        Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard...

        Chieftec GPS-450-AA with dead 20N60C3
        by zunasthegreat
        Hello everyone hope all doing well!
        I have this PSU (GPS450-AA delta oem) around for like 4-5 years and I had it recapped early 2020 or 2021 with mostly UCC KY and Nichicon PW's. The bulk was and still is fine, the original Ltec's were bloated and empty. The previous issue was some major coil whine noise and at times random shutdowns when going idle. Today it started tripping the mains breaker and I think I have dead APFC mosfets (20N60C3). Right now upon checking I have the Q1 and Q3 FETs dead so far and I guess those are responsible for the PFC circuit. The only thing I care is If there...

        Finding a dead short component
        by Beton
        Hi guys!
        I searched for the term "dead short" in the forum but no specific thread came up however if I'm just blind and couldn't see the thread talking about this please forward me to that direction.
        So my problem is I don't know how to find the source of a dead shorted voltage rail. Dead short = ~0 ohm resistance.
        I have two VGAs (HD 4850 and HD 4870), both dead shorted to ground on the memory rail. I have the boardview file for the 4870 and the memory rail consists around ~7892346 capacitors...
        I have a bench PSU and if I try to inject voltage the voltage...

        MSI Raider GE75 - Not posting, probable dead CPU
        by FiguringITout
        Hello, today I'm working on this lovely MSI Raider GE75 gaming laptop which I bought to flip. Unfortunately, I believe the CPU is toast but I wanted a second opinion before I chucked it into my spare parts bin. I will not have most tools with me today as I'm away from my workbench but I have the basics (a good multimeter, a horrible iron, a solid screwdriver, and my trusty thermal cam). I do not have the original 230w charger, but I have a Dell 180w which was sold with the device and reportedly "worked fine for them".

        Specs: I7-10750H, RTX 2060, 32GB RAM (unknown manufacturer)...
