So I have this laptop that just crapped its pants one day. I'm thinking me tinkering with GVT-g/d fucked something up (a reboot after messing with it yielded mobo failure codes), however after a year (!) of it being off, it sprung to life twice for me to update the BIOS and access it... and now it just doesn't even spit out codes. It just fails to come up.
I'm no electrical engineer but I see some coils have no voltage (especially one related to USB power? maybe?) which leads me to believe -
If I do bring it back I'm seriously thinking of kitting it out to the max. I'm talking NVMe SSD, FHD IPS Touchscreen, maxxed out RAM and a WI-FI 6E card and using it as a tinkering machine. Installing weird things and trying out new stuff, you know, to feed my brainrot.
