    Re: Can a new computer smell like urine?

    Well I gave it a solid scrubbing, let it dry overnight, and I would say the odor is 50% better. It definitely seems to be coming from the PCI slots.

    I gave them one more good scrubbing and we'll see how it turns out tommorow. If I cant get it clean, then it's just off to eBay for a replacement

        To close out the tale, I have been running the PC for several days now and no smell, so the IPA cleaning seems to have gotten it

            LG OLED C1 Pixel Cleaning Made Picture Worse
            by rumi409
            ​​​​​​ Hi,

            I'm trying to resurrect a LG OLED C1 TV that has some panel banding. I used the TCON error bypass to get a picture. I was able to update the firmware as well. But when I performed a pixel cleaning to try to get the banding out, it made the image significantly worse. I tried to undo the effects of the pixel cleaning by performing a factory reset and IN_Stop, but that didn't work. Any way to reset pixel cleaning data?...

            Macbook Dust-Gate Preventive Cleaning
            by howardc64
            Just did this on my 2021 13" MBP M1. Dust-Gate design flaw still present. Depending on cleanliness of the operation environment (often eating while using MB is probably the worst). Periodic cleaning is probably warranted.

            Note this is quite challenging effort. One misstep will damage the LCD flex and render it useless. So take it to someone more experienced if uncertain.

            lenovo flex 5 14ITL05 laptop keyboard cleaning
            by claws77
            are there any resources that talk about cleaning keyboards thoroughly, by that i mean removing keycaps and cleaning.
            i am worried about breaking those keycaps or the plastic retainer clip.

            Need help cleaning ME region on Zbook 17 G1 bios dump
            by loopster
            Hello guys,

            could I please get some help cleaning the ME region of the attached Zbook 17 G1 bios dump (CH341a, neoprogrammer, chip-desoldered, dumped twice, identical checksum)?

            Symptoms, delayed BIOS post (ca. 45 secs.) keyboard not working, touchpad not working, booting linux live, console says "Management engine not configured".
            I tried following the ME firmware cleaning guide, but whatever Flash Image Tool version I try, I get the same error:

            Error 10: Failed to open with processed commands.
            Unable to open file: C:\Users\Elitebook...

            LG 65UQ8000AUB no backlight burning smell
            by howardc64
            Only 3 years old. Owner said backlight went out and burning smell. Didn't bother plugging in to check if had power LED. Just opened the TV rear and found shorted bridge rectifier diode on the backlight circuit on the PSU. SF26G (400V 2A super fast recovery rectifier link ) diode replace with SF26 (what I had on hand) Google AI said G = Green Components.

            Burn looked pretty bad on the board but just was blackened carbon coating material. Scraped and cleaned off quite well and clean solder pad for the new diode.
