Note the at least 3 literal errors on the pass screen…

Edit: Votes don’t matter to me, but if you missed the three obvious errors on screen, you shouldn’t be a technician. The problem was failed integrated GPU capacitors.

      Do you not understand the difference between the years 2011 to 2025? You think I kept those exploded capacitors?

      If you can’t take my simple advice and just look at the capacitors, or ya know, even test them, then please go away. Shit is usually obvious if you just look at it.

        so you took the time to photograph memtest with a psp but not the damaged hardware you were working on?

          You think everyone had a camera up their ass back in 2011?

          That’s what I had, paid a good $200 for that and a 4GB memory card at the time.

            phones with cameras were everywhere as far back as the mid 2000s

              I guess you have no clue what the irony is…

              Esc = Escape Key

              Ecc = Error Correcting Code RAM

              I happen to have ECC RAM, ChipKill compliant.

              Ecc ≠ Esc

                I’m familiar with ECC, don’t worry.

                You may be unaware that this is used in even consumer grade gfx hardware (depending on the IHV)

                  Again…

                  Capacitors.

                  Is it that fucking hard to figure out?

                  Apparently so, you seem to be berating me for advising techs to just use their friggin’ eyes.

                    I’m laying into you for wasting people’s time in a forum designed to offer help to people who are out of options by attempting to put out some sort of “gotcha” post under an extremely flimsy premise whilst being extremely rude to everyone around you.

                    I don’t like to be mean to strangers on the internet but I feel like you deserve an exception; the posterchild of /r/iamverysmart
