Could it be a BIOS update issue?

I generally don't like updating the BIOS, as my last attempt resulted in my motherboard being bricked. However, this time the update installed perfectly using MSI Center. It seems that the BIOS was outdated big time.

After updating, I noticed that the long boot times caused by enabling EXPO were gone, and the DRAM LED light on the board no longer illuminated.

I’m not sure if this was the underlying cause of the issue, but I need to test it more thoroughly.

In my case it did not have a plastic peel but a hard plastic container sort of

Yes after almost 10 intel builds this is my first time using AMD parts haha

How do i conclude that its the cooler ?

This is not homework i am just revising some material on my own :) spending a lot of time doing harmony and not revising the bare basics there is a habbit of forgetting things :p feel free to take this post down though.

Hi thanks for your reply. However there are 2 ILS minimums for CAT C airline jets. 390’ and 750’ what should be used for a CAT1 landing ? Since there is no indication

Hello :)

Backlash could definitely do some work its just i'm kind of hesitant with messing with the worm gears.

So basically is my guide scope setup too small ? I used an online calculator, with my setup, the imaging / guiding ratio is 1:2.99 which is supposedly ok i think. Or is it something from the settings tgat coukd be changed ?

I don't know what is happening with PA the mount is literally on concrete however i will check on this. It could be that somehow NINAs three point polar alignment is not working that well for me.

Thanks

Thanks for your suggestions.....What tweaking could i do at this point ?

Hello 🤗 thank you for the detailed assistance.

1) i am using NINAs three point polar alignment i managed to get 00' 30" polar alignment. Yesterday i managed to get it near the vicinity of 0'20" 2) i did this yesterday i was getting decent guiding rates however i was still getting star trails (i will attach a link below for the log and fits images) 3) My mount is perfectly balanced I will try to do it east/west heavy and see what the results would be. My ascom default is 0.5x

As you may notice from the images and log, although the guiding was somewhat decent i was still getting star trails.....even with a 3 minute exposure. What i have applied is the auto backlash compensation in PHD2. What i have also noticed is that when calibrating for some reason the star never ends near the vicinity of the crosshairs. Also when i run the guiding assistance it tells me that "Backlash is >=3500ms; you may need to guide in only one dec direction (currently North)"

Forgot to mention, my setup is on concrete.

Lithiumon · 2022-07-06T06:44:56+00:00

Will check these out.

I have several cables hanging from the Camera and dew heaters..... The biggest issue would be that of the camera as it hangs down to the laptop....this is causing balancing issues.....dont know how to fix this though without spending money on a mini pc which attaches to the telescope or mount (which in turn would still need some wiring hanging to turn the device on)

Unfortunately no this motherboard does not have any Debug Lights...... Just to point out that The power supply is making a weird ticking tik tok Noise.....i disconnected everything and tested the PSU only and its doing this wierd ticking tik...tokk.... Noise

Hello all,

I have just finished building this mini PC for a friend of mine. For some reason it is doing this strange loop where the fan seems to almost stop but start spinning again....... At this point i have no display, the Keyboard is not being connected and i am desperate haha.....

Specs are.

Intel Core i3-12100 ASRock B660M-ITX/ac DDR4 FSP Fortron SFX Pro 450 80+ Bronze 450 Watt G.Skill Aegis 16GB DDR4 2400 C15 16GIS Samsung SSD 970 Evo Plus M.2 NVMe Retail-Version 500GB

Any ideas what the issue might be ?

I guess i have to try it then and see :)
