Hi, I am dedicated to repairing and commissioning 3G, 4G and 5G stations, but I have no experience in TVs. I am here to learn.

I’m J_Pierce, joining you from South Africa. Although I’m not yet an expert in computers, I have an eagerness to learn something new every day. I’m currently diving into the world of tech with my trusty old HP EliteBook 2570p.

Here are some of its specs that I’m excited to explore: it features an Intel Core i7-3520 CPU running at 2.90 GHz, coupled with 16 GB of 3200 MHz RAM (2 x 8GB sticks), and uses Intel HD 4000 graphics. For storage, I’ve upgraded to a 1 TB SSD along with a 500 GB SSD, giving me ample space for my experiments.

I’m looking forward to exchanging ideas, tips, and tricks with fellow tech enthusiasts here. Together, I hope to navigate the intricacies of computer hardware and solutions, and contribute to this wonderful community! Thank you for having me!

Hello everyone,

My name is carimbenzema, and I'm excited to join this community of tech enthusiasts and repair experts! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself before diving into the discussions.

I come with a strong background in Apple software, having worked extensively with macOS, iOS, and various Apple applications. Over the past 5 years, I've gained advanced knowledge in software troubleshooting, system optimization, for Apple unlock. Whether it's fixing software glitches, unlocking, or optimizing system performance, I've tackled a wide range of challenges and love sharing my knowledge with others.

However, when it comes to hardware repair, I'm a complete newbie. While I've always been fascinated by the intricate components inside our devices, I've only recently started exploring the world of hardware repair. My goal is to learn how to diagnose and fix hardware issues, particularly for Apple devices like MacBooks, iPhones, and iPads. I'm eager to understand the basics—from replacing batteries and screens to more complex tasks like logic board repairs.

I'm here to:

• Learn from the experts in this community.
• Share my knowledge about Apple software and how it interacts with hardware.
• Collaborate on solving repair challenges and exploring new techniques.

I'm looking forward to contributing to the discussions, asking questions (probably a lot of them!), and growing my skills alongside all of you. If anyone has tips, resources, or advice for a beginner in hardware repair, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thank you for welcoming me into this community. Let's learn, share, and repair together!

[kdo8706]

Yo!

Discovered yous guys during this early morning Google power search for what-have-yous. I've been in the modding & repair game for over 10 years. Im the lead tech for a little shop just outside Pensacola Florida. I worked for an AASP/MSP/PC Shop for years so the Apple/PC/Networking game is my shiiiiiiii. Even decked out several different consoles for kids.

I'm hoping to contribute where i can and definitely pick up on some new skills I'm trying to develop. In the end we're all just trying to pat ourselves on the back for being a good girl.

Holaaa soy Nuevo y estoy entrando al mundo de la electrónica

[Felix Kimani]

Hi,

I am a 52 yr old bloke from Kenya and I have always been primarily interested in software since the late eighties. I've generally stayed away from hardware but I found myself repairing my smartphones, tablets and laptops myself as repairs in Kenya are prohibitively expensive. I've started studying for a certificate in repairing smartphones, laptops and tablets and I'm finding it really interesting. I found this site while googling for a pcb diagram for a Huawei tablet and I'm very glad to be here.

Hey there,

New member here, hope you all doing well.

Non-tech guy with boring bank job, flying major cities over the world. Know very few of coding from Quantitive Finance, not related to computer at all. Can only replace ram/ssd sort of thing on laptop.

Daily life with laptop, mainly business laptop, XPS / Thinkpad / Toshiba and now elitebook. Currently with HP elitebook 865 G9 and G11. Yes, I'm a nerd with two laptops and 4 screens for work.

Reason to join here is actually suggestions from HP help desk. Basically my G11 comes with a 5G WWAN, VRAM can set up to 2G; while G9 has a 4G card, VRAM capped at 512MB.

The VRAM thing maybe solved by HP soon, as G10 now can set VRAM to 2G from latest Bios update, however the WWAN is a big issue.

When I try to install a 5G Qualcomm X55 T99W175 (3042 NGFF HP version from elitebook with intel CPU) on G9, shows POST ERROR, 703.

HP denies there is any whitelist setup in computers after 2016, however...this is definately a whitelist. Later HP replies due to FCC blahblahblah...I didn't buy it and kept asking, HP rep even offer me a good discount to buy another G11.

But I just want to use this G9 for a longer time as it stays with me for past two and half years, I upgrade it with 32GB ram and a 2TB ssd, clean the dust change thermal pad every six months, really want this old pal to serve more time.

Finally a guy from help desk says it's actually because of the BIOS and card ID doesnt match, triggers POST ERROR, which I understand is a whitelist.

Only way to solve it is either put card ID in Bios, or remove whitelist from Bios. And I'm here.

Hope I can find a solution here also learn more knowledge for computer.

Have a lovely day everyone!
