    I think others will soon follow.
    This can be a challenge for data recovery tools, as well as Linux and PVRs.

    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      Overdue!! The need is 15 years ago already and missed for long time. What we really need is 64K sector, 256K sector even 1M sector.

      Cheers, Wizard

          So this doesn't reduce the number of LBA's by 4X, just reduces the number of inter sector gaps and ECC per sector? Huh, given how many drives suffer from ECC issues that i've seen, i don't know if reducing the ECC bits and grouping them all together is going to help or not..

              But, I hope this don't increase latency.

                  "Challenge" Electric Stapler
                  by waveydavey
                  Hello,

                  I have an electric stapler that has stopped working. It's a Challenge Xtreme brand (UK cheapie)

                  When I pull the trigger it is completely dead. I've traced the 230V which is present on the board so it is not a fuse/wiring issue.

                  I know these are often simple devices (basically a solenoid), but this one has some sort of anti-latching circuit, and I'd like to keep it standard instead of modifying/bypassing it completely.

                  I think there is a component that switches the solenoid on/off as part of the anti-latching circuit, and may have failed....

                  Inverting op amp follow up
                  by DAVEMAC02
                  Follow up to my op amp diagram of Q208 FET and IC204 for NJM 2068M op amp. I took took the following DCV readings on the Q208 (2SK246) and IC204 pins:
                  pin 1 0v, pin 2, 0v, pin 3 0v, pin 4 -15.6v, pin 5 0v, pin 6 .08, pin 7 0v, pin 8 +15.9v

                  Q208 source -.006, gate -15.5v, drain -.102. These readings are from the op amp Q208 that has no output on pin 1. I don't know what state ie (On or Off ) Q208 should be when op amp is working correctly. This circuit is on the filter/limiter stage of the PA system. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

                  11" Portable Monitor BIOS Challenge
                  by jotati7062
                  Hello everyone, i have an 11" Portable Monitor made by "Bisprico" its a cheap one but really good for a project im doing, the Monitor auto sleep after 2 minutes if no HDMI plugged, I would like to make that to 10 seconds, there is no such option in Monitor setting menu, i will provide 2 bios backups, the "ScreenBak1.bin" and "ScreenBak2.bin" on the 2nd one i only made setting menu goes away after 50 seconds from the original 10 seconds, maybe that gives idea what blocks in bios file control the auto sleep timer.
                  the bios chip is "ZB25VQ80ATIG".                  ...

                  LG 42PC3 buffer output doesn't follow YSUS
                  by legg
                  LG42PC3D -UD originally with green lamp but no display or audio.
                  Owner says was working, then went 'pop'.
                  All 5V caps bulging. replaced.
                  All PSU output voltages within spec but -Vy is low on YSUS.
                  One of three parallel fets between SUS_OUT and SUS_DN is zenering,
                  eventually shorts DG. Replaced all 3 - -Vy now OK.

                  Y scan buffer test point does not follow YSUS output below -50V

                  Note: This unit seems to expect YSUS output to park at -Vy in between
                  drive signal pattern periods. A replacement drive signal board confirms this....

                  Interesting challenge with DELL Latitude 7400 and DELL Latitude 7430
                  by Stefan Steff
                  I have 3 DELL Latitude 7430 with faulty MBs and 2 DELL Latitude 7400 with broken screens.
                  Both have 14'' touchscreen with 30 pin eDP
                  I try to connect the 7430 screen to 7400 and getting picture OK. Yuppie!
                  So far so good...
                  Reboot in BIOS settings to check battery, processor type , etc. everything is OK even the touch is working.
                  At this point I know everything is fine with pin assignment.
                  I installed a Windows 10 Pro x64 and as a big surprise the touchscreen is not working!
                  There is no mention about touchscreen in Device Manager… no device with yellow...
