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.

      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

              Take my upvote.

              Look at the capacitors.

              If I had more photos, I’d share.

              Sorry if I presented wrong, but my information and experience is correct.

                For whatever it’s worth, i learned something today from the other guy above in the thread, and I think it’s valuable that you shared your experience.

                  Thank you for understanding, it really was a rare find that led to a proper fix.

                  Like who the hell expects this sort of scenario?

                  Sorry if I came off the wrong way, but failing capacitors can confuse even the most seasoned techs.

                  🤷👍
