    Apologies for the forum outages / changes

    Apologies to everyone on the forum. We had to upgrade for security reasons with the previous version of vbulletin. Unfortunately we had made so many customizations that it has been a true nightmare to get back up and running.

    More updates to follow...
    User submitted datasheet, schematic, boardview, service manual, firmware, bios, & software.

          I also thank you, it would be nice to have a heads up notice prior to working on the site, now that we know further updates are coming we don't have to guess what is happening.
          Thanks again and hopefully thing work out

                  No need to apologise, thanks for keeping the forum running!

                  A post I added yesterday seems to have been lost in the Ethernet. Google shows it but it directs to a different one.

                  It was supposed to be here: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/genera...con-tmv-series
                  But now a different thread shows up. The post is not listed in my account anymore.

                      Auto Power-On After Outages: Advice?
                      by cassius
                      I'm looking for ways to ensure that my desktop computer automatically powers on once the power is restored after an outage. I've heard suggestions about shorting the front panel I/O connector on the motherboard or shorting the SMPS 20/24 pin to accomplish this. However, I'm uncertain if these methods are both effective and safe.

                      Can I flash a working BIOS from one computer to another of the same make, model, etc?
                      by TyMercer
                      Apologies if this is the wrong forum, but I'm not looking for a specific BIOS file, I'm trying to understand how one makes a clean BIOS file. So here's the background. I have 2 HP EliteDesk 800 g2 mini 35w pcs. One is working fine; the other doesn't have display out or working USB's nor does it have any flashing error lights. The CPU does get worm enough to cause the fan to spin up, so I think it's posting, but I just don't know. I had it working at one point but trouble started when I tried to put in a drive caddy that had a cooling fan on it. I thought it would be compatible but wasn't...

                      Thinkbook 15 G3 ACL
                      by charliebigpotatoes
                      I've got a thinkbook 15 G3 ACL that hung during a bios update and now laptop starts with blank screen, no sound and just fan whirring and caps and esc light on.

                      Bios chip is Winbond W74M25JW, which i've read with Neoprogrammer - file attached.

                      S/N of laptop is MP279KG9.

                      I'd like to flash it without desoldering the chip, is that likely to work?

                      Any help appreciated, this is my first request so apologies if I've missed something.
                      Thanks, Charles...

                      Bricked bios from a legion y540-15irh (81sx) . Needing dmi/clean me region maybe
                      by Lexsmash85
                      Edit: apologies, I only need help with the DMI info.. I thought the ME region would need attention in order to recover from bricked state but maybe I misunderstood.

                      Im a novice to this experience but in short, I performed a backlash from the latest and final bios firmware BHCN45WW to BHCN26WW hoping that would solve an issue with keyboard functionality failing after an update. Ended up hanging during flash process and then system would no longer POST on reboot.

                      USB recovery process didn't seem to take. So today I successfully managed to get the BIOS dump from my machine...

                      Seeking Advice: Repairing Dell U3425WE Monitor with Faulty USB-C/Thunderbolt Ports
                      by Borse2008
                      Hi everyone,

                      Looking for some advice or opinions on what to do with a monitor issue I’ve run into. Apologies in advance is this crossovers a few forum categories.

                      I have a Dell U3425WE, which I've recently replaced with another model. That said, the original unit is still fully functional in terms of the display — it works perfectly over HDMI and DisplayPort. However, the USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 ports have stopped functioning correctly. The Issue:
                      • The 90W Thunderbolt 4 port (circled in the photo) no longer charges or powers any device, including laptops or MacBooks.
                      • There’s
                      ...
