      Your RTC has stopped or the interrupt timer is damaged. Replace the coin battery.

      ---off topic---
      I really don't get why an RTC freezing can cause so many problems.... My first port of COREBOOT crashed the RTC, but the rest of the system was fine... Besides dmesg getting spammed, anyway.
      Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

      You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

      Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

        Re: what is timer error

        If "Timer Error" shows up during BIOS in the preboot, this likely means the 8254 interval counter chip failed. However there are virtually no PCs with a discrete 8254 anymore, they're embedded inside the southbridge. This chip is distinct from the RTC however.

        If the error is happening during OS boot, perhaps it's assuming the availability of HPET but not the PIT (8254) chip.

        A photo of the error may be useful to figure out what's really going on...

            Sharp 80” long short flash backlight error - Help
            by Superbee_dad
            Hello Sharp TV experts
            Our Sharp LC-80LE642U displays one short one long flash error code which is a backlight error. I went into service mode and there were 8 lamp error counts recorded. I reset the count to 0 and did a reset. The last monitor error cause was 16 B00014639:12. 16 is the code for backlight error. I tried to power the tv up but went back into error mode.

            > I checked voltages on the power supply board and they all check out .. including 3.28 volts at the error pin.
            > There is power to the cpu and T-CONN and no faults found there. The cpu has a flashing...

            WD Sentinel DS5100 (NAS) boot issues
            by DeanWy
            Hi all,

            I have a Western Digital Sentinel DS5100 NAS system which has stopped working. It has dual BIOS. I bought the system second hand with an already broken primary BIOS (it rebooted multiple times until second BIOS was used).

            It worked until recently. The system was idle in Windows Server 2012 and a BSOD occurred, I think it was 'critical process died'. Thereafter it didn't boot, it just sat there with no video output and fan speed at 100% (there's a proprietary Windows driver by WD which controls the fan, outside of that it always runs at 100%).

            There...

            Philips 60PFL8708S/12 - QFU1.2E LA - Error code 53
            by Maalobs
            Hi,

            I have a 2014 vintage Philips 60PFL8708S/12 that suddenly died in the middle of the kids watching a show.

            The relevant service manual for the chassis is available here.
            The TV no longer powers on, and leaving it powered on for a few minutes results in the layer-1 error with 2 blinks.
            When I short the SDM to ground I get the layer-2 error code 53.

            The inside of the TV has no damaged components and no swollen capacitors.
            In SDM-mode when all the power rails are left on despite entering the protection mode, I tracked down and measured...
