This is a really interesting use for old equipment (ipad screens and LCD panels etc) - I'd love to have the skills to build something like this for myself. Maybe Alex should build this for Linus

When you say black screening do you mean the video output fails but the PC is still running, or it's just straight up turning off?

I dont think you can for UWP apps

Np, glad you got it sorted.

Sorry I only just saw your reply, it's probably too late now but have you checked the syntax? This is what it looks like on my work laptop (can't do the other steps otherwise I'll have Surface 4 shaped brick ) [EDIT] Going by your photo you will see more than just the one disk marked as 0 - take care to make sure you select the correct disk! My advice would be to unplug any data drives just to avoid any mishaps, you should then only see the disk you want to convert, plus the USB stick.

Press shift + F10 Type Diskpart (hit enter) Follow this: (If the disk does not contain any partitions or volumes, skip to step 4) type list disk. Note the disk number you want to convert. type select disk <disknumber>. type clean. type convert gpt.

Can't find any mention online of any known defects with this laptop that relate to the keyboard. Windows has been wiped, the m.2 formatted, windows reinstalled, drivers installed from HP Support Assist and some it missed from the HP website When I can actually get it to load into BIOS menus, the enter key still doesnt work. Loaded Ubuntu using a live image and all the same keys are still not working At this point the only reasonably solution I can come up with is that this laptop is actually haunted. Side note, not fired up ubuntu in a few years, the UI is looking really nice these days.

Oh I should add I've updated the BIOS

I guess it would be fairer to call it reasonably priced. Chances of both motherboards having KB ribbon connectors with the same pins damaged causing the same keys to fail seems.... improbable

I work in IT and I'm a bit stumped - as title suggests, I have an EliteBook Folio 1040 G3 that was handed back to IT by a user who was complaining that the keyboard wasnt working correctly. I booted it up and yup, the return key, and some letter keys werent working (USB keyboards work fine). I took it apart and checked the connections, they look solid enough but I did see some shmoo on the back of the battery that suggests possible water damage? To be clear, I found zero evidence of this on the mobo, or any daughter board. Figured it must be the keyboard thats faulty so I ordered a new one, after it arrived I installed it only to find the problem persisted. I reinstalled Windows just to be sure and again, problem persists. The next logical step is a new main board but having got an eye watering quote from our supplier (I could have bought a new, more modern laptop kind of money....) the laptop was placed in my desk drawer and promptly forgotten about. Fast forward a few months and we're clearing out the server room and scrapping some old crap and the boss mentioned this laptop and that given the cost to repair, we might as well scrap it despite there being absolutely nothing wrong with it (despite the keyboard ofc). Figuring I could make a quick buck with an ebay replacement mobo, I redirected it from the WEEE bin to the boot of my car. I managed to find a cheap second hand mobo which arrived today, I've taken the whole thing apart, installed the new motherboard and yeah, keyboard still doesn't work! Replacing the motherboard and previously, they keyboard means that everything that connects the laptop to the keyboard has been replaced, as has the OS. Anyone got any idea wtaf is going on here? Am I missing something blindingly obvious?

Thats fair enough =)

Oh wow, I just re-read your post and saw you're on about vCenter, not sphere... I'll see myself out. Here's a link to the vmWare page on spiceworks, this is far more valuable source of knowledge, LTT is more for the tech bros and the uninitiated.

Alternatively, the old vsphere client will still work if you can find a download for it - you just get limited functionality with stuff running v5.5 (I think) and up. Might be useful for some troubleshooting at least.

Can you access the host through the browser at all? For example to get onto mine, I either hit a direct bookmark for it, or I can go to servername.domain.local/com and I get this page which I can then use to get into vsphere

I looked up some benchmarks online and it looks like the notebook Ti is about 7-10 fps short of the desktop version so I suspect the issue you're running into is thermal throttling. Remember also, whilst the GPU is primarily responsible for an increases in FPS, it is generally something else that is responsible for any detraction's - Be it thermals, driver issues, bad ram or justdellthings That being said, it could just be that you super lost the silicone lottery and he super won it because the reported FPS im seeing online for 1050ti's in PLUNKBAT is not 60fps. That, or he's full of shit
