I'm back again ladies and gents, sorry

I have an Intel NUC that's outside of warranty.

I dropped a screw on the motherboard while I was working on it last night. It was however turned on and it sparked at me when the screw shorted something out on the main's board. I know exactly where on the board it shorted, but I'm not sure if its done damage to surround chips

System doesn't display out (via HDMI, Mini DP or USBC anymore.

Partially working, as NUC blue light system is working fine on the power LED.

I can start it up via power button, while holding power button trying to force it to boot from USB, won't boot, but system does detect when no-ram is installed and when RAM is installed.

Also have tried shorting out BOOT_SEC jumper to try resetting BIOS but still won't boot.

 

1). Does anyone have any thoughts on how to fix?

2). Does anyone have any thoughts as to who I could contact to try and repair in the South of the UK (Wiltshire Area). I can't contact Intel, as the device is outside of its warranty period.

 

Thank you anyone who puts forwards any input.

Kind regards

Did you get the screw out? That can short the whole system and go boom. Always be careful of that. If you can't find it, do not power it. Shake it to get the screw out.

Even though it may be out of warranty, Some companies still allow RMAs. I know Logitech and HP does that. Call them, all they can do is say no.

Sorry, No repair center can fix that. Only the manufacturer can help you, it seems.

While some companies don't RMA out of warranty devices. (some do, some don't) They DO sometimes give you a refurbished system at a discount.

Hello,

Starting from the area where the short circuit actually occurred, start looking around it for the nearest components, and then test those to see if they still work.  Depending on the component, it could require using a multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer, or other tool used for diagnosing failed electronics. 

After identifying that component, test every component it connects to see if those have been damaged as well.

Regards,

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
