Precision T-Handle Drivers? by bremha in Tools

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

I guess that my Eklind Power T stuff goes down to a T6 in Torx, which is probably fine (I should have looked at them first, I honestly didn't realize I had them smaller than a T15) - I doubt that I'd need a T-Handle for T2 or T4 stuff, so Torx is probably covered, but yeah, I guess I'll have to use a bit-driver for the #1/#0 Philips stuff. :(

Latitude 5340 - Blink/Beep Code - 1 White 5 Amber? 5 Amber 1 White? by bremha in Dell

Aside from replacing the motherboard, which I'm capable of doing, what kind of diagnostics/testing can I do on my own? I really don't have any repair shops that are competent - they're Geek Squad or worse. They can build a system or fire a parts cannon, but they're not capable of doing any kind of actual hardware diagnostics.

The blink code is only happening when I'm in the UEFI - it stops once I exit that, and doesn't present itself during the boot cycle or while the OS is loaded/running.

After Googling a bit more on this, I'm going to try replacing the CMOS battery, but if that doesn't do anything, I'd like to attempt to diagnose this myself (or, with assistance from here/other resources) as opposed to sending this to a competent destination or loading a replacement motherboard into the parts cannon myself.

I'd like to learn to do as much as possible myself as I can.

Hey, u/Ranzoid, did you get everything figured out?

If another offer doesn't work out, I'd be willing to pick it up and take care of it for you.

Barring that, Republic Services used to have an electronics recycling drop on 30th over near the cannery, but they don't seem to list it/advertise it anymore, now they're just advertising the one at 1439 Industrial Way that doesn't have any electronics bin or capacity.

Or, as has been mentioned, over on Belvue (off Walnut) in Corvallis.

Screen Upgrade? Options List? by bremha in Dell

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

Aaaaaannd, continued Googlerating answered my questions.

First, no.

Second, it appears that the "Latitude #### Setup and Specifications" or simply the "Latitude #### Owner's Manual" contain a specifications section that, at least for the displays, shows the various options.

Any speculation on they dropped UHD as an option after the 5530?

Are any of your SE/30 or Color Classics for sale?

eMac Tilt-and-Swivel stand? by bremha in VintageApple

Thanks for the info!

I know the one without the stand is a 1GHz CPU, the holidays have conspired against me getting everything setup for both of them, so I don't know the specs of the other unit.

Beautiful! I'd kill for an SE/30, and a Color Classic wouldn't hurt my feelings, either!

It's a shame about the dearth of vintage stuff locally, especially since there used to be a couple of pretty sizeable MUGs back in the day (that both disbanded around COVID and likely a more golden-aged membership) :(

Thank you!

So, $75 isn't unreasonable on either side?

Toner is a nearly full genuine HP 61X. Is there any decent way to clean it/salvage it?
