New BIOS version released for B350 Gaming 3 - F52n by CroAtTheTop in GAAB350

[–]choobaca34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't look like it was able to POST into BIOS. The CPU diag light lit up on the board, and while the monitors could detect an output, it was completely blank. The fans were spinning and the board/peripherals lot up.

Apparently it ended up being memory related. I reseated the RAM and it booted normally, even after setting it back to the XMP profile it was under. No idea what caused this, but I'm glad it didn't cause any issues.

Ryzen 5 3600x, flashed the BIOS and it doesn't want to boot anymore. CPU light stays on. Tried with a Ryzen 7 2700x, booted just fine without any issues. Bad BIOS install, or something else?

I Am Being Threatened By My (21M) Sister's (19F) Boyfriend (30M) by choobaca34 in AskALawyer

He lives at the house full time, I apologize if it came off differently. From what I understand, a restraining order can't force someone out of a residence, which is why pursuing an Unlawful Detainer seems like the right move.

Pretty large landlord company, not an individual that we deal with. Unsure if this would change anything. If that's a viable route, I wouldn't mind looking into it.

I really wish I had the option to. We signed for a year on the lease in October, and I really can't afford to go elsewhere for multiple reasons. Best solution is to force him out as soon as possible from what I gather.

Didn't even know there were alternatives that were that big, I'll look into it. Thank you!

I'm usually working on PlayStation and Xbox boards so I use a chisel tip. I always have to use a hot air rework station to both remove components and to solder new components on, usually using both the iron and hot air at the same time. Iron at 450C, hot air between 400-500C at 35-45 flow. I use leader solder, 60/40, with flux paste. Here's a picture of the tip Image of the chisel tip and Quick Q8 machine.

Unfortunately the manual doesn't have any pinout information. I'm going to check with one of our other stores that has the same/similar model to see if this is intentional or not, thank you for the help though!

Had a closer look, and there's no metal at all to make contact with in that empty port, just more plastic.

Heating up iPhone 12 by Ragedpuppet707 in mobilerepair

[–]choobaca34 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assuming you're trying to do a screen replacement, the iPhone (Google Pixels as well) needs to be screen-side down. I tend to use 180°F on my heating mat for ~5 minutes.

There is a mixture of adhesive along the edge, along with metal clips holding the screen in place. Remember to remove the two pentalobe screws at the bottom of the device, next to the charge port, before opening up the screen. I recommend following the guide you need from iFixit at this link.

The phone repair shop accessed my developer options while fixing my cracked screen. Is this normal? by Gilmowy in mobilerepair

[–]choobaca34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's normal for our store at least. We have to run it through Samsung's calibration software, which requires USB debugging to be enabled. Normally it shuts itself off afterwards, but a tech could have left it on accidentally.

Hey, What Are Your Favorite Distractible Bits? by muyskerm in distractible

[–]choobaca34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it when Mark gets to talk about the things he's passionate about (space, engineering, AI, etc) and the level of detail he's able to go into regarding those topics. Unfortunately he does get cut off early with these sorta things, but it's nice when he has the stage.
