  1. You could make one ? The details are in this thread https://www.dell.com/community/PowerVault/Dell-part-for-MD1000-MD3000-debug-password-reset-cable/m-p/3087482 It's just a DB9/serial connector and some wire connecting it to a 6 pin mini DIN/PS2 connector with non standard pin numbering.
  2. Ideally it should be dunked in 99% Isopropanol first to drive out any water before being left to dry. Even tap water isn't very clean. What version of Android does it run and was it encrypted ? If there is no encryption then your photos should be recoverable from a chip off data recovery service. If it was/is then you'll need the phone repaired to a state that allows it to be powered on.
  3. I'd make a bracket from builders band. https://www.screwfix.com/c/building-joinery/structural-fixings/cat850226?producttype=builders_band&cm_sp=managedredirect-_-building-_-buildersband
  4. There are a few faulty keyboards on ebay, perhaps buy one of those to use for the donor key/s.
  5. Having a strong suspicion of who would have fingers pointed at them should there be a data breach, I'd record the instances and culprits and inform the head/BM/HR in writing outlining what repeated steps you've taken to train them. If they aren't already aware, impress the size of possible fines and put it on them to sort it.
  6. Have sent you a PM.
  7. The only thing that would make it uneconomical to repair is a cracked panel, which I very much doubt is available to purchase on it's own.
  8. Do you have Whatsapp installed ? That would be one way Facebook knows contacts that are only in your phone.
  9. Several years as a mechanic and breakdown mechanic. No, not all French cars are stinkers but they've been dogged by quirky design choices and dodgy electrics for years.
  10. Depending on the BIOS/UEFI/motherboard hardware, not installing the drivers and interface means you don't have access or control over some features like the TPM or Intel Pro Wireless Display, The Intel ME is still however running. The name on the Ethernet controller doesn't matter.
  11. It will have the Intel ME but it won't have AMT. ps. It's on the Wikipedia page.
  12. Have you got the latest BIOS and what's shown under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers in device manager.
  13. A factory reset will sort that Bluetooth ID. Instructions how to do so are in this pdf. KLAB20DBi.pdf
  14. My friends three cats. Big cat, Mummy cat and Raver cat. *not their real names. They appear at the window as I park my car then swamp me when I go in.
  15. It's the second episode that has the Dyson factory but it only touches on it. A couple of minutes at most. So my friend that uses a VPN and a well known website tells me.
  16. I do, card online, cash for everything else. I quite value my privacy though. What I spend my money on is my business.
  17. One mouse ? I'd just cut the end off a USB cable and solder it on with a knot on the inside as strain relief.
  18. We encountered this problem. I can't remember the solution 100%, but we figured it was down to the kids logging off before it had saved properly. We created a local partition, got the students to save to that then copy to their area IIRC. (It was about 4 years ago, and i'm rather under the weather, also left the school). Real time virus scanning can also cause issues, so we might have added an exclusion.

  20. Signed, I think it's a good idea. It's not just a website that's needed though, reducing the stress of teachers so they don't leave and encouraging some of those supply teachers costing £500 million a year to be directly employed would help also.
  21. Yes, that looks about right. I'd just plug the adapter in to the spur above the cupboard and just have the 15v cable hidden in the wall, that can be extended if required. If ever the adapter dies it would be easy to replace. If you hide the mains cable in the wall that might not be so easy.
  22. Yes, that can go on a switched spur. If you want so save a little money and buy a power supply of known quality https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Toshiba-Laptop-Charger-PA3377E-2ACA-15V-4-0A-AC-Adapter/332525946859 It would need the tip cutting off and I think this one adding. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-5mm-x-2-1mm-12V-DC-Power-DC-Male-Plug-Jack-Adapter-Connector-for-CCTV-Camera/152915979606
  23. I haven't suggested any power supply, just shown an alternative that could be more suitable if you measure the current draw to save you some money over two power supplies you suggested. My personal suggestion even though you've invested time is to sell it all and invest in some decent home audio. Doesn't have to be expensive and it will sound a whole lot better. If you're determined to carry on, then measure the current draw, you'll then be able to work out the real watts and the most efficient power supply in cost for your set up.
  24. No, those 2 power supplies you posted earlier are switch mode. The power supply I have on my bench for repair work is switch mode but it's not some cheap constant currant LED driver. I've powered on my oscilloscope for the first time since I fixed it. Can you guess which photo is of the quality power supply and the one that is like yours ?
  25. I believe this would be more suitable https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-version-Switch-mode-20A-13-8V-bench-top-power-supply-650-661UK/262988543849 but without those measurements I can't say for sure.
