Hi thank you very much for your great video I have a question about traditional power supply point 1:45 in the video You mention an inductor to be placed after the regulator To suppress what ? i mean what kind of AC noise could come out from the regulator not suppressed Have you tried also the classic regulator circuit ? Thanks a lot again Kind regards, gino
@yeoldestuff2 күн бұрын
Hi gino, traditional monolithic regulator ICs such as LM7815 and LM317 can be quite noisy depending on the load capacitance, with noise peaking anywhere between 1 and 20 kHz depending on the load and other parameters of the circuit. Placing an LC or an RC filter after the regulator should help to suppress the aforementioned noise peaks.

@@yeoldestuff Hi thank you very much for your kind and extremely valuable advice I clearly have to study more the topic and i am about to do it Could these filters be places indifferently after or before the regulators ? and what would be your best option RC or LC filter ? thanks a lot again
@yeoldestuff2 күн бұрын
@@gino3286 You’re welcome. The filter should be placed after the regulator. It is easier to get a lower cut-off frequency using an LC filter but frankly an RC filter should be just as efficient. For example, using a 1000uF capacitor and a 2.7Ohm resistor would effectively kill everything above 60Hz.

This is wonderfully timely. I just bought a refurbished T480 to use build my first Linux system. Unfortunately, this process came to a screeching halt when it came to booting from a USB for the RAM check. I have gone down the rabbit hole of information to try and figure out how to do this. I can get into the boot screen but when I choose booting from a USB, the choice flips back to PCI LAN. So I went back into the BIOS changed boot order and disabled Secure Boot. Success! Thank you.

Hello, thank you for the clear video! I have a used lenovo T490. When I follow your instructions and enter into the bios, it states that *password at boot device list is enabled. According to your video this should be disabled. What are the implications of this - will I be able to do a clean install of windows/reformat still? Should I return the laptop? Thanks. (additionally the bios says that the absolute persistence module is enabled )
@yeoldestuff2 ай бұрын
Is Absolute Persistence enabled or activated? If it's activated, then you won't be able to do anything. If it's enabled but not activated, you should be able to disable it by choosing "Permanently disabled" in the UEFI setup... if this option is not protected by the supervisor password. If the boot device order is locked in the BIOS, you probably won't be able to boot from any installation media to reinstall the OS. Personally, I would simply return the laptop, it's probably more hassle than it's worth.

First of all, you say chicken keyboard!

I'm quite frustrated because I have an x220 but I've never known what line/series it comes next or what its Lenovo flagship is. Something similar to what Samsung does, it is easy to know which device is its high-end or the one that follows or its previous one. If you know how to know which is Lenovo 1, Lenovo 2 etc. You tell me!. Since I bought the t480 and I don't know which one I beat. 3- I don't understand that hardware decoding on KZfaq, so is it decoded by graphic video or what?

1) Chiclet keyboard. This means that there is some space between the keys. 2) Basically, in Lenovo's world, X series are ultraportable, X1 series are their top models, T series are business mainstream, L series are business affordable and E series are low cost machines. T430 is the same generation as X230 but it has a larger screen (14 inches). 3) Yes, decoded by the GPU. This is much quicker and uses less energy than CPU decoding.

I found a via c3 700a (Samuel 2 core because the 1.6v rating) but i dont want risk. I wanted use the p3bf because has two slot ( my cuv4x has 1) and using a slower isa video card to reach slower speed.

I know it is a bit late to comment. but in general there are few problems with your design 1. Plastic box is not good as there is no shielding that is needed to decrease influence of noise. 2. problem with transformer isn't trivial. I was also surprised that is actually matter what kind of transformer is used. Toroidal transformer is actually worst transformer used. The best is specially shielded transformer that is shielding primary from secondary side. Another option is to use coils on different lets say Legs so that means primary coil is alone and there isn't another on on itself as it is on most transformers. even these separate transformers are fine they needs additional shielding. 3. pcb design isn't bad problem is it isn't so good. I would suggest to use low noise circuits..it ofc depend what kind of Amps you need. but in general up to 1Amp is ok..then i would suggest LT3015 if lower current is possible then i would suggest : LT 3042 up to 0.2A or LT 3045 up to 0.5A. 4. It isn't simple to reduce noise as low as possible it is pretty complex problem. These solutions and circuits are used for advanced Voltage standards to reduce noise as much as possible.
@yeoldestuff3 ай бұрын
1) a metal case would be completely useless against low frequency EMI unless it's made of ferromagnetic materials, e.g. cast iron 2) you can get a toroidal transformer with electrostatic shielding as well, although the effectiveness of electrostatic shielding at audio frequencies is disputable. The advantage of toroidal in this particular case is that it has the weakest external electromagnetic field of any transformer type, which helps reduce induced hum in downstream circuits 3) I am highly skeptical that any monolithic regulator would be half as good as Sulzer's or Jung's regulator
@SylwerDragon3 ай бұрын
@@yeoldestuff Nice response. As they say prove me wrong :). To point 1. Shielding isn't useless as such if there isn't any material or only plastic it works both way high frequency could go in and also out.. if you would go super op you could use double shielded cables but that might not help you in general at all in simple project as power supply. If shielding wasn't needed we would have all laboratory equipment from plastic instead of metal. To point 2 even properly shielded toroidal transformer is too noisy and as such not used for low noise applications. i hardly doubt any regulator is as good as monolithic one such as LT3042 prove me wrong. I 'm glad to learn something new and improve my pcb design.

Hi! My C3 is Ezra. Ezra-T is the same in terms of performance etc., but uses the same signalling as Pentium III Tualatin. I would say try to get the fastest Ezra/Ezra-T you can find, you can always slow it down in software but in my experience they don't overclock well. My 800MHz C3 is not 100% stable even at 866 MHz. The 866MHz one I have is stable at 933MHz but no faster than that.
