EMBEDDED CONTROLLER PROGRAMMERS COST *HOW MUCH*?!

Thank God the IT8987E my board has self-programs from the BIOS.

I hope.

Does having your hair tied in a ponytail hurt or am I just stupid

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.

that the EC failed. This computer did always have its quirks with devices, like that one time the SD card caused Windows to spit out like 100 device errors per second and slowed it down to a crawl.

All this to say I just bought an EC and 5 BIOS chips to see if I can bring it back to life, for the lulz.

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 -

(I actually have a ton of housekeeping to do but I accidentally played a Jerma stream archive so now I have to sit here and finish it)

Oh yeah, it's still got a very narrow color gamut but it being normally black, has a very good contrast ratio.

Update: it's here, it's installed and it's not even one of the models listed, but it does have pretty good viewing angles.
It's 66% sRGB tho, sooooo maybe AliExpress would have guaranteed I got the right model.

Now I just have to wait for the controller board for the screen I just removed to arrive and I can turn it into a portable monitor!
