Hello,
I am an amature laptop repair person, looking to repair an Asus FX507 main board to be able to retrieve the bitlocker recovery key to unencrypt the SSD for a friend.

Hi everyone,

My name is Joni, I’m an electronics and repair enthusiast from Indonesia. I’ve recently encountered an issue with my Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 2 – it won’t boot and produces a strange sound from the speaker when powered on.

I joined this forum hoping to learn more, get some guidance, and possibly find the schematic or boardview files (NM-D011 or NM-C771) to help me troubleshoot and repair the board.

Looking forward to being part of this amazing community and learning from all of you. Thank you in advance for any help or direction!

Best regards,
Joni

Hi all,

I'm one of the technicians for a small group of computer stores based in Queensland, Australia. We specialise in computer and electronics repairs — everything from laptops, tablets, and mobile phones to game consoles, drones, and just about any device that needs fixing.

We’re strong advocates for repair over replacement and always encourage customers to choose the more sustainable option when possible. While much of our work involves component swaps and software issues, the rise of integrated hardware has pushed us further into mainboard-level repairs, including BIOS flashing and direct chip reading/writing.

A fellow technician from one of our sister stores recommended this forum, mentioning the great support and friendly community here. I'm looking forward to getting involved, sharing what I can, and learning from others who deal with the same day-to-day repair challenges.

Hi guys, just decided to join your lovely forums. I found this place when I was searching for bios bin for replacing the chip

Hey everyone,

I am (the) octo|opto|koppler. I found this forum on my search for a new BIOS file for the D3413-A13 mainboard of a Fujitsu Esprimo Q956 that has been bricked due to a Windows Update (just google that, it's devastating :-D).

So, what can I say about myself? For those who know, my date code is 9233, I'm a state-certified technician in electronic engineering, working in QC at a independent distributor of electronic components in Dresden, Germany and made it to the department manager in 2020. My passion is electronics, most of all electronic components as we inspect them every day to make sure keeping the supply chain free of manipulated and counterfeit components.

Best regards everyone and take care!

Hi here is my first post. I am here because I need help with my gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card.
As soon as I connect a second display port cable, the backup of the power supply goes.
Power supply is a 900 watt platinum from Be Quiet and works perfectly.

Sir, good morning, thank you for this wonderful page, my name is Max, my username is MximilianDz, I work independently in the computer field, more in mobile phone and computer repair, I studied computer programming, but unfortunately I could never practice that profession although after years it served me a lot as a basis for the "occupation" that I now perform, I am 44 years old today, just as you offer your knowledge and help for free, do not hesitate to ask me anything regarding cell phones, maybe they do not start, they freeze, you reset it and FORGOT your google account or your password, in the case of PCs, suddenly configure something, optimize the PC, eec etc, or whatever, Ojo I do not charge nor will I charge for that type of information or help, in the same way I would just like that just as I want to help, you do the same whether it is with me in person Or any other user who's in trouble, greetings to everyone.
P.S. My English isn't very good; I firmly believe that with the help of Google Translate it's worse. Greetings.
