TIL:
If your DDR5 DIMM modules have configurable RGB, then every time you reprogram the colours or pattern there is a non-zero chance to corrupt the SPD or other configuration information on the module.
This renders the module unable to train, even if the RAM itself is functional.
Maybe DIMM modules without RGB are the way to go? 🖖🤷♂️

A friend brought over 4 HP mini-PCs and all of them had the battery holder ripped off the mainboard including the pad that attached to the negative-side of the battery. Not the most difficult of fixes, took longer to find a convenient ground and to make sure there wasn't anything crazy between the "negative" end and ground. Still, think it turned out pretty clean.

I need a kind of header/nut here to hold the M2 in place, right? #PCRepair

I’m troubleshooting a Chinese #MiniPC a friend got on Black Friday (8845HS).
It power throttles on games after a while, while all temps are below 70°C. It just gives up. Goes from 65W to 55W and the frame pacing goes to shit (pulsating fps).
I don’t want to tell him “Return it and buy a #MacMiniM4”. Any ideas how it can be fixed?

I've got an IdeaCentre K330B #Lenovo
#RAM is
DDR3-1333 PC3-10600, 240p DIMMI'm using roughly: RAM: 4289MiB / 7798MiB
Seems like that system shouldn't max out at 8GB RAM.
Maybe it does. Seems like it would be alright if it could handle 16GB RAM.
Flash the BIOS or something?
This other lenovo thing takes 16 GB, but it doesn't have the #HDMI out.
IS THIS an 8GB Stick that would fit in the K330B?

Any idea how I can get a replacement fan like this? It sounds like it’s about to die. Very noisy.
Google search for the model number turns up nothing.
This is for my Minisforum EM680 mini PC which has a very compact case. So the size is important for fitting it in.

There's a rather deep rabbit hole one can go down when you get stoned and start checking out tech vids. I started out just checking back in to the PC space, CPU/GPU/PC reviews and such. Just catching up on stuff I've mostly ignored as a primarily Console based gamer (PC is for MMOs 😜 ). Now I'm watching people repair stuff, lot of GPU/PCB repair channels on YT. Watching people do that fiddly work is engrossing. #PC #PCRepair #Tech #StonerThoughts

Used to be a PC tech years and years ago. I just dropped off a laptop for warranty repair and I did all the things I wish my customers would have done.
Formatted the computer.
Made an admin account with an easy password.Set a typed up list of issues as the wallpaper.
Used painters tape to write my info and put it on the laptop.
Feels good to be a good customer.

AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT. Overheated and cooked itself, and was replaced by its owner who was going to bin it. I bought it as scrap, dismantled it, cleaned it all up with isopropyl alcohol, replaced the thermal pads with Grizzly thermal pads, the thermal paste with Arctic MX-6, carefully put it all back together and she works like a dream! Not bad deal for £200. #AMD #AMDRadeon #pcrepair

Yea so remember this thread from *November*?
Well, I fixed it today. I found a pin on the ram slot that was stuck below the rest and lifted it with a dental pick.

Just wrote a post on my blog about my new (to me) iMac, which is my first Mac, and fixing it up.

The good news was that I hadn't set it up to use ntpd. Checking, it turned out that ntp.conf was configured with NTP servers that no longer exist, anyway.
The bad news was I hadn't actually configured it with anything else. So I had to quickly install Bernstein clockspeed, and after about 5 spaced apart rounds of sntpclock $IPADDRS|sudo clockadd it was back in synch after I had got the time roughly right by hand in SETUP.
