I know I've been gone a hot minute but I'm back! A lot has changed in my life while I was gone from the forums, but that's a topic for another day. For today, we've got a commodore 64 with matching monitor and disk drive , even have a joystick to go with it, But they're not in the best of shape at the moment... I figured I'd make this a bit of a repair log, and post updates here as I make progress. Here's what we're working with currently: The cats seem to be quite amused by the lot: This is all well within my realm of insanity

If your account is anything like mine then that number is actually significantly higher. I was gone for 2.5 years and the notifications just seemed to wrap around. Glad to see you again!

I saw you, I thought I recognized that name, I remembered you. Now I am here. Then again, maybe it's an imposter! Or maybe I'm just a creep? Who knows?!

Hallo!
-
I thought uncorrectable sector count and other such errors were properties of the drive itself, irrespective of the actual data they contain, but I just experienced something that makes me seriously question that.
I dug out an old drive that was good last time I used it but had been sitting in a closet for years and did a fresh (quick) format, along with enabling bitlocker. It started causing issues so I unplugged it and restarted it a few times, even starting another format and turning it off in the middle of that - all of which easily adding up to enough that I'd expect serious corruption and data loss (if there was any data to lose, which there wasn't), but nothing a format wouldn't fix.
However Crystal Disk Info was reporting errors and saying "caution". This wasn't surprising to me as I figured it had gone bad while sitting around and this was causing the issues that made me do the above things.
I've since started a clean format once again, this time doing the long version, and it's not done yet but Crystal Disk Info no longer reports any errors.
Perhaps the error was caused by my fiddling around? Although that doesn't explain the source of the weirdness to begin with... though I could blame that on Windows (bitlocker). More importantly though, it seems the error has been fixed by formatting. That I did not expect.
Any insight?

How many computers do you have lying around the house?

I'm at about 20-30 desktops, 10-15 laptops, several phones, 8 xboxes, 5 xbox 360's, and other assorted junk -

Does the Russian dude accidentally discovered the app "Grindr" from the App Store or is it one of those things Alex Jones can rant about turning the friggin frogs gay.
?

He probably looked at women and realized how repulsive they are. /s
maybe not /s, I'm gay for a reason -
ok, what the cinnamon toast fuck?

Missing serial number and model in bios
iamdarkyoshi replied to recreator665's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
Sadly those are likely gone forever, unless you can get ahold of lenovo tools that aren't supposed to leave the factory, and you can get the BIOS into a mode that accepts being programmed...
