"Hardware Error" after power failure
(lemmy.world)
Hello,
Today my washing machine completely broke down. My parents desperately tried to get it working, but it resulted in the circuit breakers tripping and my server (an old Dell Wyse thin client) experiencing a hard power off.
When I tried to turn it back on, I received these errors on the screen.
I ran a memtest, and it completed without any issues. I also created a disk image backup just in case.
Is there any chance of getting this machine running again, or is it only fit for utilization?
Replace psu.
If your tpm is not integrated into the cpu, replace motherboard.
Unfortunately, I don't have another power supply with the same specifications on hand, as this thin client is the only Dell device in my home 😕. Replacing the motherboard is not cost-effective for such old hardware. I'll just buy a new thin client.
Perhaps consider investing in a small UPS device as well, it might help out in any future events like this.
The device was already protected by a UPS, but it failed and shut down.
File system and disk okay?
No, half of the file system sectors were corrupted, but I was able to recover all my files. I'm still wondering how my files survived exactly on uncorrupted sectors....
did you run a checksum or try to open a bunch of em? it's possible they didn't...
Yes
