    The power connector has three connections: Vcc, Ground and Sense. Sense is the middle connector, ground is in the two contacts you already identified. The Vcc contacts are facing the ground contacts on the middle plastic part. They are a bit hidden.
    These Lenovo chargers are not smart. They have a specific resistance connected between the sense and ground so the device knows how much power it can draw or if it wants to run at all.

      For software to improve the touch usability I know Epson has a drawing suite meant for their line of IR projectors for smartboard functionality. I don't recall it being locked down given it was meant to be compatible with all the proprietary software from earlier smartboard mfgs.

      The best way to clear up space and clean Windows would be to get a USB with Windows 10 and blow away the old stuff, there will be a partition with a OEM recovery image that will take up a fair bit of space on the drive that is not needed as well.

    Allow me to jump in and defend this AC jack for a moment.
    These rectangular jacks were originally found on the T*4*-series of Lenovo laptops as a replacement to the barrel jack.
    They have a greater shear resistance comparatively to the barrel jacks of yore due to the increased soldered area to the circuit board and the reduced height, making them much sturdier and harder to rip off than a barrel jack.
    These days, we have USB C, and it's all nice and standard :)

      I hadn't considered the increased soldered area but I feel like they could just as easily have made a stronger barrel connector. Like they barely save maybe 2.5mm on this construction just to make a ton of accessories useless, for a port that is electrically identical to the old one.

      there's huge risk you are forgetting; the touchscreen drivers. They aren't standard yet so Windows didn't have them in repository. If you just reinstall Windows without checking first then I'm afraid you won't find out the screen is a touchscreen at all.

In a good example we have Intel who provides driver on their website while the Distributor customise the driver and re-upload it on their website, but for other OEM they do not provide a website for download and the Distributor might not either or just didn't update them.

    I usually use the regedit trick instead, you plug a Win10 recovery USB stick into your PC (really just the standard Win10 installer), boot up to it, press 'shift+f10' after going a couple of steps in, type 'regedit', load the c:\windows\system32\etc\system.dat hive into the registry, and change some stuff, basically this: winaero.com/blog/reset-windows-10-password-without-using-third-party-tools/

    • @Chrisamic
      @Chrisamic 4 роки тому +1

      That's true. The HDMI port on many AIOs is more often an input, rather than an output. It means you can run two PCs but use the same screen for both. There might be a selection for the HDMI input in the setup - Internal/External/Auto. Some people prefer to do that rather than run a virtual machine for the second platform because it's technically a lot easier, plus it can also be handy for occasional use stuff like a media box or a R.Pi.
      Only AIOs with quite a decent graphics sub-system will have an *output* capable of running a second screen - higher end Asus etc.

    • @wclifton968gameplaystutorials
      @wclifton968gameplaystutorials 4 роки тому

      My college has some Dell AIOs from about mid 2018/2019 and on the back there is a HDMI connector for input and on the side next to the brightness controls is a button to switch the display input so its more likely that the HDMI input is so that the PC can be used as a secondary monitor when the PC becomes outdated. It may also be that Lenovo (or any other manufacturer of AIOs) just take a generic display panel that they would normally be using in a standalone monitor and then integrate its controller board into the PC's Motherboard and the Windows Operating system in order to lower cost which is probably why almost no AIOs have any Linux Drivers or at least to any of my knowledge.

    A few years ago you made a video about a $250k Oscilloscope you'd "found in the dumpster." When I asked you whether or not it was actually some kind of "wink wink, nudge nudge" promotional video for the manufacturer, you outright called me an idiot for thinking it was _ever_ even possible that you _could_ have found something like that in the dumpster, implying everyone is just supposed to _know_ when you're showing a legitimate dumpster diving score versus a product some company offered to send you for a review that you knew would make for a good video (which, in my opinion, is a wholly valid reason to make a video -- if the content is good and you're honest about its nature, why shouldn't you make a little extra money). Naturally, after you said something to me, I got literally hundreds of comments from people calling me stupid, openly wondering how I'd survived long enough to ask you that question.
    Now you're here saying, _"Yes, I really do find this stuff in the dumpster! _*_I have to keep saying this!"_*

    Hey Dave - a general remark to these items & also to your laptop videos:
    ALWAYS the heatpipes go dirty over the time and it's a nightmare to clean them. The ability to remove heat always lowers over time. The plates that distribute the heat from the pipe to the air are so close by - they can only collect dust.
    So I suggest, if you already open such a case, remove the ventilator and remove the dust / mold between the ventilator and the heatpipe - for example by vacuum cleaner.
    When ever I opened a used laptop - the heatpipe exhaust always was completely dirty.
