== BIOS flashing == | == BIOS flashing == | ||
- debian 12 | |||
- ram didn't detect well | |||
- flashrom, hot swapping | |||
- different bioses had no change | |||
- ram broke again | |||
- good ram made it work? | |||
==Conclusion== | |||
- shortly after this: the remaining ethernet broke. the ps/2 connector broke. RAM fell out of the slot while the machine was running. the reset button broke | |||
- see you next time | |||
- credits | |||
- attribution | |||
- sorry for how long this took | |||
- software used | |||
- much more detail and SPOILERS are availabe on troubleshooting guide | |||
