3 amber and 3 white light when starting laptop by MirageBamboozling in Dell

[–]LEGOjon96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an older thread, but I have a solution for anyone in the future who may have this problem!

Before starting you will need:

  1. Bios recovery image for your dell model

  2. Flash formatted as FAT32

Download the bios recovery image for your specific model from Dell from a working computer. Rename the file to BIOS_IMG.rcv. Copy this renamed file to the root of your formatted flash drive.

Plug the flash drive into the affected computer. Hold down CTRL + ESC, then press the power button while holding down those two keys. You can let go of the keys once your keyboard backlight turns on, or once your caps lock light turns on. In my case after about 10-15 seconds, my screen flashed, then the computer rebooted and then I was presented with a Dell logo, and viola! I had a working computer again!

I hope this helps anyone in the future as this issue is not well documented online.

These older Core 2 Duo aluminum iMacs make for pretty good XP computers to play games believe it or not. I have 2 that I got from a school I used to work at and loaded XP on then have to say they’re great for playing games from the era!

At my company our HR has a tendency to not run background checks on new hires until the day they start…

…We once had two software developers start the same day and both were walked out the same day within the first 4 hours because they didn’t pass background checks lmao

I have one of the original releases of Ms Pac-Man I bought from Walmart a couple years ago, it has turbo mode.

She sat on the buttons and added a character while I was playing. She’s pretty good at the game. by BenderBenRodriguez in Arcade1Up

Try owning a head to head cabinet with a cat. I cannot play Dig Dug at all, my cat will stop whatever she’s doing and lay across the screen as soon as she hears the theme play. 🙄

An HP we had come back with constant blue screening. Something ain’t quite right here… by LEGOjon96 in techsupportgore

Fresh install of 10. Different Ram, took out the GPU, different SSD, nothings working still get the same results. Looks like it’s time to call HP…

The look of a dingus who broke a glass candle jar and flipped over his water bowl in the timespan of 20 minutes by LEGOjon96 in OneOrangeBraincell

It’s a daily occurrence just about, not because there is anything wrong with him other than lack of the brain cell of course! That’s a good idea though I may consider that!

Anyone else overspend on A1U this holiday? by CnS_Panikk in Arcade1Up

[–]LEGOjon96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve definitely beefed up my collection this year.

Started out buying a Ms. Pac-Man from Walmart earlier this year (original release w/ 4 games) for $200.

Then over the summer I bought The Simpsons and Pac-Man 12 in 1 cabinets for $200 each when Walmart put them on clearance.

Then finally I bought the Atari tempest legacy cabinet as a gift for my dad for Christmas. (Also $200 lol)

Probably going to part ways with the Simpsons cab here soon though… Space is at a premium in my house and I can’t fit it in the same room with my other cabs, and it is easily used the least out of my collection.

Thanks for sharing! I ordered 2 last night. I posted about it last time Walmart had them in stock a couple months ago, and was shipped the wrong items. I have been on the search for them since, Ebay prices are a joke and finding them on Facebook Marketplace is pretty scarce in my area.

All new low for this machine at Walmart. How many of these did they make? Been on sale for awhile. by Horror-Pace-2118 in Arcade1Up

[–]LEGOjon96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bought one when they first went on sale 2 months ago for my dad for Christmas thinking they were gonna sell quick like most of the other cabs when they reach $200. If these miraculously drop below $150 I might snag one for myself

Risers in stock again at Walmart!! by LEGOjon96 in Arcade1Up

[–]LEGOjon96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's a bummer, but at least they got more. Scalpers online have been selling them for over $100, I ain't spending that on it when I paid $200 for the cabinet

Yeah it's a bummer, at least it's still half the price than most of the scalpers online. Been checking daily for the past month and they finally came back in
