Hey, hope you're doing good. I've got a Huawei EG8247Q ONT which has POTS, TV and is a wireless router. Will enabling the bridge mode effect the phone and TV service?
The myth of this device being faulty due to the voltage has been thoroughly disproven. IF YOU HAVE THE CH341A YOU DO NOT NEED TO MODIFY IT and you certainly don't need to throw it away. The device works exactly as it should. To the uploader of this video....did you happen to check the current on each of those pins? I ask because you didn't check it in the video.
I have my bridge router connected to my main router. How do I force laptops to connect via wifi to the bridge router? We power off the bridge one so the kids don't use it after bedtime.
Once the original router is set to bridge mode it should automatically default to the connected router for connections.. Just make sure that setting is changed on the original one.
just bought the board alone on ebay for 15€ and an xeon e3-1271 v2 for 20€ and i think its kinda nooby to use an "router os" when just an basic Linux is enough, need a web panel? webmin caching server for website, windows/steam updates? Nginx Proxy Manager .... or DNS? bind9 running VM/CT? qemu, LXC, Docker, want a web pane? proxmox, cloudmin, or just google one there a dozent Raids? mdadm adblock? pi hole in a LXC container Anonymous DNS? Tor DNS VPN? Open VPN and all the others and sooo much more, or can your "pf sense box" hide your identity online? can it make your internet faster by caching the DNS requests? spare you internet resources for not needing to download an windows update multiple times for multiple PCs? or even download your Netflix shows while you were watching them on your TV? or has it 17 layers of firewalls?
brother. thank you so much. this was the easiest tutorial regarding this topic to follow. literally beep boop bap. and boom its over. also. i flashed an MSI B450i Gaming Plus AC without any troubles. using fedora linux jic anyone else is also dealing with the bios update thing with newer Cpu's
i made this 2 times exactly and my CH341 died.... same way, same problem "Descriptor error" in devices.... uninstalled, formatted, dont change anything... so i'm searching about and what i found is....CH341 send 5v to chip but when rec something.... go down to 3.3v because CH341 know what chip is.... and i dont think have problem of project..... when i tryed to change 2 new CH341 to down to 3.3v just go this error... work at begin but you willl get " ! " in your CH341... and just for update i never burned any chip 3.3v or 1.8 using adapter always worked..... saved many motherboards...
The process shown in the video replaces the proprietary BIOS from Lenovo with a free and open source BIOS called coreboot. For the average person there is little to no benefit but for FOSS advocates and security conscious individuals this could be beneficial.
This video was made over 2 years ago and has become dated in certain areas. A viewer has reached out to me with an updated written guide. Please check it out, it might be able to assist you. www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/1db1gmu/lenovo_t440p_with_tianocore_edk_2_build_guide/ If enough people request it, I will make an updated video!
Question, is it normal for w500 screen and chassis to be bent/curved? At first I thought it was just the top half but bottom is also like that, looks like it had 50KG on top with something under the middle and it's just changed shape over time with heat and pressure on the top though maybe its supposed to look like that and it being dropped at some point just making it look worse?
I've never heard of a W500 being bent or curved. Sounds like it might have experienced some trauma at some point. Out of curiosity does it still power on and work?
@DeviceCastingCouchTechPodcast yeah works fine, battery only last about 20 minutes and screen is super dull but that's pretty normal for machine that age, at least I now know for sure it's not supposed to be like that, when the board was out of the machine it look fine other then little corrosion on a part that doesn't affect functionality In saying that given the logo of the company that was on the old bios image and wear, I'd say it was a field machine for that network company before they got bought out. So if I can find a machine with better chassis that has failed GPU or something that would be nice, unlikely I'll get that lucky as they rare in my country
Dear sir. I have to flash a W25Q32BV chip, that operates at 3.3V. If i buy the CH341B version, will it be safe for this chip? no mods to the programmer are recommendable? Thanks, i have no soldering skills.
i just tested this today and it does not work, until i realized the its cus my router 2 is also a modem- a old one- which means it does not have Ethernet port, so if anyone reading this just remember 2 in 1 modem dont really work, and thanks for ur video at 1:26 i find out why :D @Device Casting Couch - Tech Podcast
So...for those of us playing along at home, how loud is this thing once it idles down? I'm looking at moving back to a roll your own firewall setup (probably on OPNSense), but my rack isn't in the garage, its in the basement...right under the bedroom and screaming server fans do not lull me to sleep
I made this video out of an abundance of caution and to highlight an interesting product that supports more voltages than the original CH341A. This position that the voltage is too high is not something I made up but is the stance of the Libreboot project and many other smart people in the community. Lately, a different view point popped up saying that the CH341A will automatically lower the voltage when flashing. I plan on testing out these claims to verify if they are true or not. If you watch my previous videos you can see I've successfully used the original CH341A many times and either ignored or down played the voltage issue. As I did more and more flashing my stance slowly changed.
You got it wrong. It is totally normal to a voltage drop when load is applied. There does not have to be any automation for that to happen. For example a conventional transformer will have very variable output voltage depending on the load applied. If you measure a transformer output with no load and a load you will see two very different voltages. This is very basics of physics and electronics.
Old version works perfectly. No need to mod. Voltage drops to 3.5v when running. Plus amperage is low on every pin so no risk of frying any chip. Voltage is harmless.
@@MAnees-jk5yg I have removed the BIOS password from over 200 laptops from many manufactures with no problems. Don't worry, it works perfectly. No mod is needed.
I should’ve watched this before doing the whole bios flash thing because after me clamping my thing down on my bios just to see how it fit then trying to turn on my computer it wouldnt turn on and gave me a hardware error meaning i fried something
You may have a 1,8V chip so you should check the chip voltage before connecting. You need a voltage adapter to use the old CH341 with 1,8V chips. The new CH341's have voltage selection.
I have this exact server and elected not to use it because it pulls 171 watts at idle, for my home area that's $348.13 in power each year. For the same money (server+power) I was able to pick up a purpose built router that runs PFSense that supports dual 25gpbs, and quad 2.5gbps from GoWin. That box pulls less then 50 watts.
From what I've seen, the vast majority of routers/access points from T-mobile don't support bridge mode at the customer level. However, I'd contact their support line to make sure, as some models and plans do have work arounds.
Nice, I have a similar system, a half depth Supermicro server, I'm just using a 6 port gigabit NIC, but I could upgrade it with a 10gb nic down the road.
Wrong! The data lines are 3.3V when using the device. The voltage on the data lines WITHOUT connection is about 5V but as soon as you connect it to a chip and start communicating the voltage in fact IS 3.3V. So the modification is not only stupid it is also totally useless and even harmfull!
Overkill. Both computing power and energy consumption. Load a hypervisor on it and run tons of VMs and Containers, instead. Still like all your videos.
