    Since November i've had at least 10 laptops get stuck when booting, after a restart it starts diagnosing for hours and when that fails and i got the the recovery environment i cant pick any of the options, whether it's command prompt or reverting updates or using a different bootable device it just goes completely blue same as the background and gets stuck.I've tried different diagnostics using a bootable media, scanning the harddrive for errors using different tools and come up with nothing, for a few of those laptops i got an error that the boot_device cannot be found, also this has been h

  2. gpu bios update failed, gpu bricked

    I would suggest a cheap pci card and ensure you use the correct path where the bricked card is so you dont accidentally flash the pci card

    Updates Bricks Computers

    battery/brick troubleshooting

    System Manufacturer/Model Number:dell inspiron 17 5770
    OS:windows 10 pro x64 2004 version 10.0.19041 build 19041

    Before going into the details, please note:
    I cannot perform all the troubleshooting because of some physical limitations. I am color blind and cannot determine LED colors. An injury has left me virtually one handed and unable to perform remove/replace battery functions.

    the problem:
    The computer will no longer charge properly. I cannot boot or use the computer without the brick plugged in. Hovering over the battery icon (on the task tray) indicates battery 98% charged. However, unplugging the brick generates a low battery warning and subsequent shut down in less than one minute.

    what I have done:
    • I have unplugged/plugged in all the brick connections.
    • I have calibrated the battery using the drain and recharge process.
    • Dell's EPSA Preboot System Assessment yields error# 93734 (battery problem)
    • I have changed power plans.
    • I have uninstalled/reboot both battery drivers shown in Device Manager.

    The next step appears to be to remove/install the existing battery. Then let the success/failure dictate replacement decisions regarding the battery and/or brick.

    I have no desire to throw parts at the computer in attempt to solve the problem. That is not a wise solution. I have a (non-techie) friend whom I can guide through a mechanical repair if necessary. That is better than paying a shop to do what I know how to do, but am physically unable to perform.

    ...SO... My question is: Are there any other troubleshooting techniques I can employ before proceeding?

    Thanks in advance for you replies.

    regards,
