Hi @dannyb007 they were soldered onboard

is it well aligned with the turntable? what if you had removed the turn table, do you see the synchronous motor turn? if it does not turn, maybe consider making a call for tech advises or check with the sales representative, e.g. what is the operation behaviour. else if there is indeed a fault, as you mentioned it is new, send it for repairs.

Hi @conradish006 I see that this usb c socket is soldered directly on the mainboard, For me, I had done some handphone repairs on changing the usb ports, micro usb ports, and to say … some micro soldering skills is needed, e.g. equipment, skills, and tools. preferable a hot air gun with some good flux to remove the defective part. you will also need to identify the correct usb c port for the replacement. after removing the part, doing some cleanup and perhaps a soldering iron to touch up those. and magnifying glass to inspect after soldering, to check for any solder bridges between pins that was soldering on the mainboard. if you are unsure, ask around, perhaps also share where is your location, hopefully someone can recommend you the next step.

Hi Had you tried this yet? https://bios-pw.org/ Updates from a user: mbnsfld each time required Ctrl + Enter, (Enter was the only instruction given on the unlock screen); each time it was the code next to "Dell from serial number" that worked. By the way, the code the site asks for is the serial number with the four character extension that shows up on the unlock screen where you're asked for the password. You can refer here too How do I bypass the password authentification system?

Hi @gmantunt Normally there are some tell tale sign at the pcb components, e.g. C = Capacitor, the picture, i would say is an inductor. It should be Label as L xx on the PCB The number 150 indicates the value 15uH if im not wrong, and btw what is the issues with this POE switch?

Hi @abelma This is a Chromebook Enterprise lock and it is in managed state (enterprise enrollment). Please follow the link below and read more what Nick had shared. My chromebook has an admin on it, how do I remove it? In summary, you need to get whom or etc to unroll, just like icloud.

Backup / copy all files out as usual. Use another computer to test out. If the sd card protector switch is set to "not locked" and you are still having issues in formatting or writing new files, probably sd card is failing. what brand is your sd card? is it micro sd, etc? some brands have warranty covered for this. e.g. 3 years, 5 years.

Hi @hbmg as usual, if you have any important data, please backup first. What I will suggest you to do is to try updating your laptop to the latest bios possible. to really support, it really depends on the bios, what i do is normally i will compare the specs of what it can the laptop mainboard can support the processor, e.g. listed on the website of the configuration, https://www.cnet.com/products/sony-vaio-vgn-fe31b-15-4-core-2-duo-t5500-win-xp-mce-1-gb-ram-80-gb-hdd-series/ http://www.computer-specifications.com/specifications/Sony-VAIOVGNFE31B-Specs.html

Hi Seleste Donahue If you had tested with another fresh new batteries, and it still happens, what i can suggest you is to send in for repairs / replacement as i believe it is still under warranty. See if you can return to the place of purchase to exchange foe a new one.

Hi @cursella art, Hi Cursella Art, from I see on the specs of the printer, there is no wireless interface on the printer. https://support.brother.com/g/b/spec.asp... but, you can connect a lan cable from your router to your brother printer and setup as a network printer. that is the best way to setup the printer to be able to print from network. let us know if you need any help in the setup.

This is nostalgic, most will also remember the epic PS1 startup sound.

Not mentioned some people are very “creative”, doing mods breaking away those Sony Games protection at that time.

AFAIK, different sets apart from languages, some video output, e.g. NTSC, PAL.

Tips: Either use a multimeter or use a CR2032 battery to test the LED before soldering in :)))
