Probly under some name like "bios recovery 6264819"

2019-01-02 12:57:19 UTC  

Bios should still check for update even tho its "disabled"

2019-01-02 12:57:46 UTC  

As its part of self-check

2019-01-02 12:59:46 UTC  

And self preservation code incase idiots like ex user of that tablet

2019-01-02 13:00:14 UTC  

That repair technicians have some chance

2019-01-02 13:10:18 UTC  

I managed to get it down to 4%

2019-01-02 13:10:26 UTC  

Let's see if deep discharge is the key for now

2019-01-02 13:10:34 UTC  

I can still try that one later

2019-01-02 13:10:43 UTC  

It's losing about 1%/hour

2019-01-02 13:11:21 UTC  

hw do u check the batt

2019-01-02 13:13:15 UTC  

Rip battery

2019-01-02 13:13:26 UTC  

Lipo terrorist cell

2019-01-02 13:17:43 UTC  

i doubt it's going to work because there's probably a cmos battery in there

2019-01-02 13:18:02 UTC  

2019-01-02 13:19:03 UTC  

I doubt there is one, it's way too thin to fit a button cell + Mainboard + screen

2019-01-02 13:19:34 UTC  

@whodun1t when the battery is below 5%, the screen turns on and shows "Low batter N %" for a few seconds

2019-01-02 13:19:39 UTC  

All it need is small corner somewhere

2019-01-02 13:19:40 UTC  

This seems to happen before loading BIOS

2019-01-02 13:20:23 UTC  

i've seen coincells thinner than a die+substrate

2019-01-02 13:20:31 UTC  

that are just soldered straight to the board

2019-01-02 13:20:50 UTC  

How long would such cell even last?

2019-01-02 13:21:13 UTC  

few years probably

2019-01-02 13:21:56 UTC  

a quick google puts it at 10% in 5 years

2019-01-02 13:22:01 UTC  

self discharge

2019-01-02 13:22:20 UTC  

as long as the board has power it shouldn't be drawing any power from the battery

2019-01-02 13:23:03 UTC  

I mean cr927 can hold bios for yeat if not more if properly implemented

2019-01-02 13:23:18 UTC  

if you can work out the device type you can just rip it open and disconnect the battery

2019-01-02 13:23:28 UTC  

and not bother with this discharge shit

2019-01-02 13:23:53 UTC  

yeah like i said, take the screen off

2019-01-02 13:23:57 UTC  

you probably need a heat gun

2019-01-02 13:24:01 UTC  

look up screen replacement tutorials

2019-01-02 13:24:04 UTC  

out of the dell tabs the smaller ones (venue8pro) doesn't have a BIOS battery but the larger ones (venue11/pro) does

2019-01-02 13:24:09 UTC  

might not even to

2019-01-02 13:24:15 UTC  

depending on the unit

2019-01-02 13:25:14 UTC  

actually since it's dell

2019-01-02 13:25:20 UTC  

can you tell me the service tag?

2019-01-02 13:28:38 UTC  

This reminds mw from story of <certain large hardware manufacturer who definetly does not make weapons too> used bake in pcb coin cells to keep system settings no matter what

2019-01-02 13:28:50 UTC  

Was bicht to reverse engineer

2019-01-02 13:29:05 UTC  

are you sure it's a single frame case, because all videos I find on the internet just pop the rear cover off

2019-01-02 18:02:48 UTC  

Can anyone recommend me a portable dac capable of driving 300 ohm speakers? Got hd600's and /hpg/ is useless
