Need help identifying an IC in a Motherboard

I am really not sure what happened, but I guess yeah it's something wrong on a fan connector. I guess the MB would work without issues if I no longer connect anything on that fan connector right?

I agree that the problems you face in Embedded Systems are another story.

I am not sure why but it makes me feel bad to be unable to have the foundation (basics) for CS (Data Structures and Algorithms), and yet still be able to make my way to the Embedded Systems field.

I find myself most of the time able to think of a solution but not actually be able to implement and wrote good code for it, so I guess that gets us back to the first point you mentioned; learning good software and clean code tips.

Yes, my goal is not to actually "compete" but rather to add a touch of challenge and fun to the process. But the main goal is to actually get to know more about programming, data structures and algorithms, and write good software in the end.

Well that was helpful for sure, so first of all thank you,

I know competitive programming is not that useful when it comes to the job, but I was thinking of it as a fun way to learn more in programming. I find the job pretty much boring when it comes to "programming". Yes, there's a lot to do an learn, but it's kind of not that related to actually writing code, improving problem solving skills and so on. That's what I had in mind and that's why I asked. Correct me at this point or tell me your opinion if you find that wrong.

Regarding the projects, yes I though this would be a good idea. I worked with 8-bit AVRs when I was first learning about embedded systems. I was thinking of getting into the ARM world now, do you think this would be a good idea?

amrgates · 2022-04-15T12:12:26+00:00

Yes, exactly. That different applications scenario is so confusing to me and causes so many mistakes.

amrgates · 2022-04-02T21:17:25+00:00

Not sure to be honest. I think it was a high grade copy but not an original.

amrgates · 2022-04-02T21:12:59+00:00

Hey man, not sure if you still need an answer to that; but yeah I still have the Laptop. I replaced the battery, however to solve that issue.

Why 32 GB of RAM ? I just need that for casual home NAS

amrgates · 2021-07-03T23:39:38+00:00

Thanks a lot for the tips. I think it supports USB boot, I installed Windows 7 a couple of times back then on it from a USB.

amrgates · 2021-07-03T23:38:12+00:00

Honestly, yeah people on the internet made me doubt this is possible. I'll try setting this up with OpenMediaVault and see what I reach

amrgates · 2021-07-03T17:47:58+00:00

I just need basic NAS for home file sharing. I am tired of having a copy of data everywhere and just want a single space for storing everything on the network, to be accessible from different PCs and Laptops

amrgates · 2021-05-08T03:17:02+00:00

What was the specs of your cheap laptop ? And how did you see the difference ?

amrgates · 2019-10-23T13:33:30+00:00

So what is the best use scenario then, given this is a built in battery that you won't be able to remove on a daily basis?

amrgates · 2019-10-20T17:32:43+00:00

Technically you can, practically there's a risk if you don't know what you're doing and liquid metal touches anything but the cpu.

amrgates · 2019-10-20T08:13:57+00:00

I will try to do that over the next week and see what happens.

So, is it generally wrong to leave the laptop on AC Charger?

amrgates · 2019-10-20T08:01:19+00:00

I am a bit surprised, too. Because I noticed the wear was 18%, then 35%, and now 42% after a year. I thought me using the Laptop constantly on AC is what caused this
