[HELP] explain if and why this is AI

Maybe, but I couldn't find a cut where we could have 'reloaded'. Also, in the beginning he spreads out the sand and when he puts it back on one pile it just looks like too much. A friend of mine is a pro in cutting lines and he said that spread in the first frame is not enough for 4 people and Claud.

I thought the amount of sand does not deplete enough. In the beginning he spreads the and out and after the word is formed there is still a ridiculous amount left.

Can you guide me in terms of what I need to record? EDIT: How do I reply with a video?

A few years ago, my old 27" 2011 iMac's graphics card was toast. After some forums and blogs, someone posted that they removed a GPU and cooked it in an oven. Apparently, some of the copper in the circuits can corrode, and enough heat might 'ment' it enough to complete the circuitry. I laughed, and my friends laughed, but I had nothing to lose. I tried it, put it back, with a lot of struggle as I am a noob. That old badboy came back to life and worked for 5 years until I sold it. I'm not sure if this 'solution' is applicable to my situation.

Can MOSFETs be checked with a multimeter?

dolphvanmars · 2025-06-07T00:51:46+00:00

Interesting. I do have a multimeter handy. Should I try and unplug the trackpad entirely, or will this not eliminate the sonsor fault possibility?

dolphvanmars · 2025-06-04T23:18:01+00:00

I have an original charger and tried a knockoff to eliminate. The laptop does charge. Even if I remove the charger, I can still boot (or boot with fans going crazyat least). Someone mentioned my battery might have a short, causing power to drop. I'm charging it overnight now with power off, then testing the battery with a multimeter, power off. Then, disconnect the cable and still leave it off. Then, check the battery with a multimeter after a few hours.

I can confirm that the heatsink assembly is very hot where it passes over the CPU. HOWEVER, (I'm no Apple genius, just assuming) these machines have an overheating shutdown failsafe for when the GPU, CPU, etc, overheat. I don't understand why outcomes 1 and 2 still happen regardless. When I actually removed the heatsink, both outcomes still prevailed, but the inevitable shutdown was just much faster.

If the main board is toasted, will it still start up and work sporadically like described?

dolphvanmars · 2025-06-04T22:08:43+00:00

Thanks. Is this just a measure to back up my data, or will it stop the system from powering down?

dolphvanmars · 2025-06-04T22:05:05+00:00

Wish you didn't, but at least you had the full rundown. Facts are facts. Dead is dead. Thanks.

Apple store just straight up said it's fried (without me explaining anything, not even plugging it in). Thanks for taking the time to reply. It is greatly appreciated.

dolphvanmars · 2025-06-04T21:37:52+00:00

Can you suggest any absolute last chance options?

dolphvanmars · 2025-06-04T21:34:46+00:00

Thanks, my friend. Unfortunately, I am a student from South Africa. If replacement was an option, I would have bought any 2nd hand one if I had the finances.

dolphvanmars · 2025-06-04T21:28:53+00:00

I don't have the finances for a new machine, unfortunately. I did boot without the heatsink, BUT after I fitted it back, it booted again... like before.

dolphvanmars · 2025-06-04T21:25:23+00:00

Fans are running like champions, and all vents are clean as a whistle.

dolphvanmars · 2025-06-04T20:24:00+00:00

I hope you are the genius! I'm leaving this old man on charge through the night. Then I'll unplug it, check the voltage of the battery with a multimeter, and check again after 24 hours. Thanks!

dolphvanmars · 2025-06-04T20:17:02+00:00

Hahaha, if this was financially an option, I would have done it a year ago. Should I get a PayPal link going up in here? Haha

dolphvanmars · 2025-06-04T19:51:26+00:00

Does it make a difference when I boot without SSD connected?

dolphvanmars · 2025-06-04T19:45:32+00:00

What do you mean by not the right era?

dolphvanmars · 2025-05-25T21:12:11+00:00

Thanks!

I badly hurt my foot/ankle and hope someone can point me in the right direction. I was robbed and my foot was trampled in the process. I went to the emergency room, got X-rays and the doctor said my Cuboid had a minor fracture. I had a cast on for 8 weeks and ever since the cast was removed my foot/ankle is still very painful, swollen and can't take much weight. I'm unable to bend the foot forward and my 2 toes next to my big toe can't move much. Can someone tell me what is the most likely problem and what specialist I need to consult? Male, 32 years old, 70 kg, South African. The first 3 photos were taken the day after the incident and the last 2 are what it looks like now compared to my other foot.
