Hamas' Electronic Bull**** Failure of the Week
Might as well make this a running series.

Couldn't get a signal to my TV yesterday. Reseated the video card, unplugged the HDMI card, turned everything off and back on. Nothing. Tried the on-board video. Nothing. Worried/figured it might be the HDMI board on my receiver, but possibly just the cable. Bought a cable tonight for seven bucks. Used a different HDMI port as a workaround the receiver if it was the problem. Nothing. Hooked new cable up to the laptop's HDMI output: works perfectly. At this point I start getting uber ****ing pissed. I put in another PCI-e video card that I know works. Nothing. Try the onboard video w/ DVI, HDMI, and VGA, and I get jackshit. Perhaps it's something with one of the peripherals. I unhook every HDD and optical drive. Nope. I move the CMOS jumpers. Take out the battery, disconnect the PSU, and nothing. Processor and HDDs spin up upon start. Fortunately, the RMA of a failed MoBo from two weeks ago is coming in this weekend, so perhaps I'll have a working HTPC in a few days. Oh, and my 360 laser shot craps again today too. Cleaned the lens, put lithium grease on the rails, worm motor, even adjusted the potentiometer. |
