Thanks

Good morning. I am a humble man currently failing at real life monopoly. So I decided to do what I have always loved and self teach electrical engineering while just about scraping a living. I still don't really know what electicity is.......what it REALLY is......

Anyway, I currently am very much in the early learning stage. But I have succesffuly repaired a GPU. The RTX 3080 TI Gigabyte Gaming OC edition. 3rd DrMosfet down. Replaced and new fuse. Bingo.

I have 3 other cards that have proven far more complex, which is great. I am learning a ton about a subject i actually enjoy.

Hi All,

I'm John,

Trying to learn more about my laptop, i've forgotten my bios password for a dell precision 7560.

After taking it to bits and removing the CMOS battery .. that hasnt worked, and with my browsing around the site ive identified its a service tag 8FC8 which is more difficult.

Looking for any help with resetting the password,

Cheers,

As this is a brand new forum, I thought I'd open up a thread to encourage new members to introduce themselves a bit.. now hey.. let's not get too personal.. ok ?

And if you wouldn't mind to keep this thread "clean" let's try to keep the the chitchat (i.e. even the welcome to the board replies) to a minimum or this thread may get to 100 pages fast

So I'll start things off :

My name is petabyte and I'm a forum junkie. :oops: I've been off the wagon for a number of years and countless times I've tried to stop but it's useless.. I need to feed my learning addiction.. :!:

Now just a bit about me.. I'm a fairly secretive guy in terms of privacy on the net.. especially when the things you write are visable to anyone with a net connection. But I love to share the info and knowledge I have, so that's why I'm here, to share and learn.

my formal education is that of an electronic engineer and I held a field service position with a firm for over 20 years.. that job is gone now along with company car and laptop <cry> oh well..
So needless to say (but i will) I've always tinkered with things.. yes, a hacker.. (too bad that term lost it's orignal meaning) a hardware hacker mostly.. hacking fixes in whatever I find that breaks.. (except for cars, I have friends for that) I got started a little late into the computers, my first box was an ibm pc-xt with a whopping 10meg HD,blazing fast 4.66mhz 8086 processor, 640k mem running dos 3.3.. man was I cool back then.. :roll: nevermind..

so these days, I'm forced to be a software guy as well.. as I fix pc's for friends and that usually means cleaning virus/trojan/adware and reinstalling OS's.. yeah hardware breaks but not that often :cry: so as a result, I keep up on my software knowledge by visting a few security forums.. and trolling around a few hardware forums as well.

now I found this place from a thread at motherboards.org/forums
where I've been hanging out lately.. it's a nice friendly place with some pretty smart people.. mostly, of course, it's about mobo's.. So this person mentioned badcaps.net and I recalled reading articles a year or so ago about the faulty caps and was curious as to what you guys were up to.. and I said "w00t.. they have a forum"..

and so now.. you're stuck with me :P

so what's your story ? come on.. give it up..

just learning end enjoy

Hola que tal a todos, soy Erick, me dedico a administrar un taller de reparación de laptops, por lo que empezamos a recurrir a esta comunidad para aclarar dudas y cosas asi. Pronto empezaremos a dar tips de lo que encontramos en las decenas de laptops que logramos reparar para aportar a la comunidad y poder solucionar los problemas que presentan estas maquinas del diablo.
Espero poder tener una comunicación fluida con todos uds y poder ayudarnos con fraternidad.
Saludos!
