Troubleshooting BIOS Issues: When to Repair, Reflash, or Replace

Understanding BIOS Chips and When You Might Need a Replacement When it comes to troubleshooting computer issues, one of the components most people overlook is the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) chip.

Project M30 – observations about dark metal

So, during the summer, I, from time to time, periodically, clean the rust. At the case of my old computer. It has a metal case. And from the start it was covered by very intense cover of rust. So, now, it is, of course, better. Mainly here - to use a special tool, that helps to remove rust. A little rag and a metal brush. And, even, more main thing – it is to rub. And to rub a lot! Most main thing - it is after a tool – it is to rub! Maybe, even in some places to pick and old rust nail to receive some distant places.

Main - to continue rub! I do this all the summer!

And, I want to write about my observations. I cover with anti-rust tool. At the metal. Wait 20-30 min. As in instructions. Later to rub. And metal is starts to be – white. Just like it is new! And this? of course? is a very positive for eye. Such a result!

But! So, every time, I go to a country house, again. At the next week. I see! And, look, that metal becomes a dark! And this happens, every time. I make a cover this anti-rust tool – I do rub. Metal white again. Later, I go at the next week – it is dark again. Such a little blacker. So, it is, also, a good result!

This is my observation about I want to write! So, looks like, in result, it is going as a dark color! So, part of a summer – I do these on repeat. I was in a cycle I can say! So, I can say, experimental data! About clean from rust, clean metal.

It was a little, that I was a little upset. So, u know, I do rub this metal, so what? It was white. And, later, I see - again dark. But, later, I start to think, that it is normal! I think, everything is normal! So, saying short, it will to be some dark color!

So, right now, about this thing, I want to write! So, it is, something in between result, but a very valuable observation! About how the things are going. And about such a valuable aspect! So, in idea, maybe, if to rub this darker parts, then it can be white, in theory. So, in fragments, I have such result. But, this requires time and physical strength. So, it is hard.

Most main thing, that main part of the rust is going away! And I have a positive result, and good with it! So, I have in result such a darker metal color. So, it is also a good thing!

And this is my result in between. In this process! Process to continue!

So, these days, I was doing a metal case. And, I will need to check other parts. They are all also are covered with rust. And this expectation, I was doing, already, in august.

Metal brush - it is my best friend. As a gloves – in this process. It happens, that I have some corns at my hands. After several hours of this things. This process requires lots of time and some physical power. So, it is better to do all of these with gloves.

Some big raw parts of rust – even with a nail, old nail in use here. It was like that. And main instrument -it is metal brush.

A bit of retail archaeology reveals that this clothing repair shop in Blackpool used to be Rostron's hardware shop. Everyone is delighted that Jonathan's is open as usual.

i have spent the last 12 hours in the fight of my life against my computer. i booted it up last night and couldn’t open any programs or settings or the context menu or anything. since then i have done several restarts, many of them in safe mode (the only way i could even get into safe mode was by interrupting windows startup (also one of those safe mode boots every time i clicked it opened a new edge window)), multiple reinstalls of windows, and am currently on my second complete wipe of both of my drives. if this doesn’t work i am well and truly going to become the joker

which phone model you use? your pics have gorgeous quality omg

I've got a Samsung s22 ultra :) honestly I have a lot of beef with the cameras/software on it. Samsung has some weird like post photo taking editing it does like it adds HDR and increases texture and shit often like, for instance, it makes flapjack look Extra Textured when he is Regular Textured in real life and looks Regular Textured in the photo preview. It also struggles to focus with the front camera in even slightly low light like just constantly refocuses when nothing is being moved to prompt it to need to.

sorry I know you didn't ask for a full review, but I honestly preferred my note 10+. I also know they've done AI kind of things without user permission/without a setting to turn it off with moon photos in particular and I don't think they've done away with that. which I don't care about that as a feature that can be turned off but uh, as someone who is very familiar with and comfortable with dslrs and photo editing and like having control of at LEAST the editing process, I wanna be able to turn it off.

so yeah I wouldn't recommend it unfortunately.

Project Nixdorf M20 – cleaning the iron 2024

And right now, with a full power, it is going an excellent summer. And I continue to restore old computer. With a name Nixdorf M20. I suggest, that it is a computer level of 286. So, in a middle of June I transport all the parts to the country house. Case is plastic, and I transport it too to the country house.

And, I continue to clean the metal parts from a rust. So, it happened like this, that case itself and small parts are covered with rather big rust. And to restore a computer. First of all, I need to clean it from the rust.

I start to do this, already, in 2023 year. I try different methods. And, only in summer find some proper way to do it. I use a special instrument for cleaning from a rust.

And, in this summer, already, things starts to go better and faster. And, I start to have ideas, that I can do this. To clean from a rust. And this is most big moment.

And, I can, even to say, that metal case is, already, clean from rust about one side. And, I can to remove more concrete rust in the metal. So, more detail work about some fragments with most intense rust. But it is not a lot of this kind. And go to other side. And, I am doing all of these right now. Also, I clean from rust all the details of the computer itself. It is about metal holders. Connectors. And, I need to wash from a rust plastic case.  And I do this too.

Main thing, that all the things are going. And I have some things to say about. Rust is going away with a special tool. And it is rubbed off. With a rag, and metal brush. This tool - it is a special sourness. Which is need to cover a metal. And depending on mark of this tool. Later, you need to wait about 20-30 min. And, then to rub. You can to put in a water some rag. And to rub too. It is about a technique. It depends on certain rust spot. More concrete into metal rust – metal brush. More big layer of rust – too. And what is more easy - you can easily to do with a little rag. After this special thing.

And this way you need to do a several attempts. Everything is going good. It is even more joy! It is so nice, when there is something that you can do good!

And, by the way, it is still have some moments. So, mainly, metal case is in normal state. And rust eats some places absolutely to the hole. At some parts there are holes out of rust. That’s why, mainly, it is normal. About 90s percent. It is a places, where rust eat all the metal - it is hole, or very light surface of metal. And it is fragile and can tear apart or break apart even because of touch. There is such a moment.

Plastic part of the case – it is everything normal about this. It is just good to rub out of rust, which is inside plastic. Process is going on. It is good to rub and rub, as I can to say!

About the details. It is more harder. Some metal construction parts, grille, connectors are in a hard condition. They are covered with intense rust surface. I, partially, rub them. But, I need to more rub. Some details are very uncomfortable to rub. Or some place a metal part is tearing apart, even this can to happen. Some bracings.

It is some danger about a hard drive and power adapter. Hard drive has a heavy cover of rust. Power adapter too. I can rub it. And will they work – it is a question. Hard drive makes less sense to me. It is in better condition. And I can change it. There is some way. And power adapter. In some places he tears apart during cleaning. And, it still has a heavy rust. So, it is still not the final collapse of construction. And inside it is ok state. But, as my brother told me, we need to see it next.

And most big question it is power adapter. I do not know what to change it with. And there are some possibilities, that I will need to do it. And brother told me, that metal can be increased. But, first it is good to clean the rust as good as I can. And it is rather real process! And I am doing it, from time to time, at the country house! At the excellent summer weather or more refreshing evening time. And, I take on a gas mask! To have defense from a metal dust!

It will be very interesting to continue to restore this interesting computer. And for now – I need to continue to clean from a rust. Process takes its time, I do attempts. I cover metal with tool from a rust. I wait up to 30 min. Then start to rub for some time. And next I do repeat, again and again. So, it takes normal time.

Anyway, it is so nice to be at the country house at summer. And to have such a project. Something like some programmers has their pet project. Pet it is goes after some house animal. As I get it. Such a project for interest. So, I have mine one! And I am right now program with Basic. And I have such retro computer old one as a project! And summer - it is just fine!
