Trying to diagnose video issues after the user spilled water on it Here's what I had to go through to get the motherboard out:

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/late6410/en/sm/TD_Palm_Rest.htm

Check the inverter iv had to replace or tighten several and a bad or loose inverter iv seen do everything from wicked dim screens to bad colors and checker patterns

This ended up being the panel or the video cable. After I took everything apart looking for damage & could not find anything, I called in Dell to repalced the LCD panel under warranty :pimp:

This one had a vertical bar on the left side of the screen that was over-bright, with a rotating moire pattern.

Was cleaning out a machine with heavy dust buildup yesterday at the shop. It was so dusty/dirty it wouldn't post. This is what the front intake fan looked like.

theJesus · May 11, 2012

I've been taking pics for this thread at work and keep forgetting . . .

Athlonite · May 12, 2012

ewwwww thats just fecken gross how on earth people can let shit like that happen is beyond me filthy mongrels

I certainly hope you charged them extra for working in an toxic environment and handling contaminated components

Radical_Edward · May 12, 2012

I sometimes charge a hazardous waste cleanup/disposal fee. :laugh:

D007 · May 12, 2012

Lmfao, these are the people who call tech support talking about "my computer won't turn on" Well is it plugged in? "No".. /slap..
I can imagine this call.. "Uhm, idk why but my computer is very hot and it keeps shutting off"
Lol you don't know why?? Reaalllyyy?

The darker dust clumps systems, are from cig and herb smokers I bet..lol
Looks orangish/yellow.. XD

Sorry that is the rig from my Batcave, it's a little dusty down there.

t_ski · May 25, 2012

It's amazing how brown it was before and how silver it was afterwards. I figured it was de das dude's PC.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · May 25, 2012

Heh lol it was crammed full of dirt. Atleast it wasn't packed in there tight.

Jetster · May 25, 2012

By far my favorite thread

popswala · May 27, 2012

My HX1000. Never been cleaned over the past 2+ yrs. This isn't to bad as I thought.

MilkyWay · May 27, 2012

If your going to spray a computer filthy like that use a mask, the shit could otherwise get trapped in your lungs.

t_ski · May 27, 2012

Agreed. I think there's one point in the video where you can hear one of the guys gasping for air since he was holding his breath for so long.

Sir B. Fannybottom · May 30, 2012

From one of my school's servers.

theJesus · May 30, 2012

That looks perfectly normal to me. Then again . . . look at the pics I posted from work lol

Frick · May 30, 2012

That's EXTREMELY normal.

One of two air intake filters for a $1 million dollar tester at a customer's site. This is in a positive pressure ISO certified cleanroom (it makes its way to different ISO level cleanrooms, the jist is it should be spotless. Server rooms are like sand boxes supposedly compared to these, or at least how they are supposed to be.)

What ISO standard is that room supposed to be?

The dirtiest area is Class M 7, which is equivalent to between an ISO 8 and 9. That's just the place where they prep the testers and no flight hardware is allowed. It's obviously not as clean as a fab plant but our systems shouldn't be cleaning the air.

ISO: D1R7Y :roll:
