Q: Two of the items* are identical (material composition is slightly different). One of them was bought last week and the other two are at least 20 years old. Can you guess which one is which? The suspense is mounting! Do send your answer to: nfo AT resurface.se and you will get a reply/A: (bonus… Continue reading Failure By Design

Hardware Failure
There’s a point in holding on the discarded stuff at times (or should that be always?). The fan failed and by pure chance I had an exact spare tucked away. And after replacement it runs perfectly! Live to fight another day!
Another HW Failure And Another First
On interrupted boot: “Fan Error”. That’s a first… BIOS says that there will not be a successful boot sequence because the fan is broken? The Hardware Maintenance Manual reads: Error messages Table 3. Error messages Symptom or error (beeps, if any) Fan error. FRU* or action, in sequence: 1. Thermal-fan assembly. 2. Thermal grease. 3.… Continue reading Another HW Failure And Another First
A Catastrophic Hardware Failure, Again?
Another catastrophic hardware failure? That is enough to freak me out. It is a good thing I have spear parts. It is a good thing for me that I collect things. I can fetch a spare from the big box in the cupboard. And get up and running. I have three routers, the second router’s… Continue reading A Catastrophic Hardware Failure, Again?

The 3,5 MM Audio Connector Conspiracy
I happen to know for a fact that it is not one of the non-existing “non-solvable” technological problems that humanity is facing. It is not the speed limit currently imposed on the human race: 299 792 458 m/s (in our world and our physics – the speed of light is a constant and that is… Continue reading The 3,5 MM Audio Connector Conspiracy
Renegade HW
It is just another project. You may wonder: but is it functioning? Indeed it is. However, is it functional? I don’t know yet. I cracked it open. But I need a way to reboot the computa first! This is the inside of Apple… cracked open. Copper, insulation, a lot of glue and not that many… Continue reading Renegade HW
The Bridge Is Over II
The front tire is looking A-Ok; the rear is very close to a catastrophic failure (disintegration/puncture)… I will carry her home: the princess Yu, that is. It is time for change.
The Bridge Is Over
The front tire is looking A-Ok; the rear is very close to a catastrophic failure (disintegrate/puncture). It is immanent; we’re down to the cord now… Yet, we still need to break hard. No treads left, slipping and sliding widely during breaking. And, yes the front and rear used to look the same there were identical… Continue reading The Bridge Is Over
Mission Impossible?
This [message] will self-destruct in 30 seconds. I left my bricked mobile device (an official software update made the device completely non-functional) unattended… this is the actual state that I found said device in. Exploded! The pictures don’t really make the utter failure (by design) suffered by the device full justice. It completely broke the… Continue reading Mission Impossible?
