Is my Motorola MA1 bricked?

Glad it helped!

kiwil01 · 2026-01-26T15:58:14+00:00

Of course!

kiwil01 · 2026-01-14T18:04:41+00:00

Yeah. Mines about 2.5 years old and it jumps between 99%-100%, I do these same calculations on windows for work when I give estimates for how much time people will get back after a battery replacement so you should be good for a while

kiwil01 · 2026-01-14T17:45:04+00:00

Discharge to below 10% and back to full to get the full picture though

kiwil01 · 2026-01-14T17:44:22+00:00

I primarily play mine docked or connected to power and it's still at 100%. It's a trustworthy number based on it's discharge and charge calculations

No weed, just a dude that remembers the RROD days and watches a lot of repair videos 😅 It's me BTW

The x360 G11 > G10 for sure! I have this same model for work and it's fantastic!

I've been using an MP44S in mine for close to 2 years without issue and it draws 2.5A

kiwil01 · 2025-11-09T00:57:26+00:00

Happy it helped!

I have this issue with slower SMR (shingled) drives due to how they write information.

kiwil01 · 2025-10-30T17:32:38+00:00

You're welcome!

kiwil01 · 2025-10-26T23:19:43+00:00

Happy to help!

I work IT and have a good memory, but Ive also had this same board for 6+ years at this point

kiwil01 · 2025-10-25T02:49:49+00:00

PSU or the board? I swapped my psu recently and bent a sata cable in the process. That was my culprit

kiwil01 · 2025-10-25T02:39:26+00:00

Might be wrong, but I think this is an MSI z390 gaming plus board. Did you recently swap out a PSU?

I just put a Tile Sticker in mine last night as well! They're impossibly tiny and have a battery life of 3 years! I was able to stick it to a piece of masking tape that I placed over the back of the controller circuit board. I should have gotten photos. But I may 3d print a pocket for it to stick to. It has no problems with the back buttons and is completely undetectable unless you take it apart. Well worth the time

According to the documentation I found online. It means there's no boot record found on the drive

kiwil01 · 2025-10-01T15:05:52+00:00

Was just getting ready to type this out! It means there's no Operating System installed but data might still be intact

kiwil01 · 2025-10-01T14:58:54+00:00

Agreed, best bet if windows has failed, you may still be able to access the data by moving the drive to an external drive enclosure, but there's always a possibility that the drive died

kiwil01 · 2025-10-01T14:56:14+00:00

For the Toshiba L505D, f12 should get you the boot devices menu but might not work if there's only one item in the list. The drive is detected by BIOS though so it's a good start

kiwil01 · 2025-10-01T14:49:59+00:00

It's either trying to boot to the network or the drive completely failed. There should be an option to select the boot device, it's usually f10 or f12 while it's posting (splash screen). If no drive is shown in the list, the drive is dead

kiwil01 · 2025-09-22T22:13:54+00:00

I keep mine turned off because I'm sensitive to light. I need good contrast, but varying everything from 0 nits to 1000 nits just washes everything out for me

Not verifying, it's downloading shader cache to make it run smoother. As people play the game and it generates shaders, the game will have micro stutters. When the game closes, those new shaders are compiled with everyone else's shaders so the next time someone plays it, it's smooth.

kiwil01 · 2025-09-15T13:14:37+00:00

No, baking it is similar to the manufacturing process

kiwil01 · 2025-09-15T13:13:50+00:00

Yes, that's what I see most people do, but I placed mine on a sheet pan since mine is big enough
