The reality is retail PC electronics, like much consumer electronics with short lifespans, are designed/engineered and manufactured more-or-less like disposable e-waste garbage. Eevblog Dave or Bigclive might be able to get to the bottom of the circuit or manufacturing design error, albeit with some help if it turns out to be a digital-or-up-the-stack issue.
- KeplerBoy 2y agomeh, I rarely have electronics fail these days. Whatever corners designers are cutting seem perfectly adequate to be cut to make stuff affordable.
- lazide 2y agoThe rise of mass produced cheap ICs with somewhat reasonable behavior are the cause. It’s cheap to add some logic to something when you’re making a million or more of them, than when it’s an additional couple discrete components and an additional circuit you need to add yourself.
