TS-253b won't boot anymore

Hello everyone, this is my first post and I hope I can find some help.

My TS-253b no longer boots up, the status light just keeps blinking red.

I’ve tested everything I possibly can to rule out potential errors.

Now, it seems the only thing left is a problem with the processor, Apollo Lake architecture, specifically the degradation of the LPC clock line (LPC Clock Bug).

This can be fixed by soldering in a 100 OHM resistor.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Does anyone know how to do it and maybe could help me?

Or am I completely on the wrong track?

Best regards

Diilean

Hello,

Looks like that’s the problem.

Unfortunately, the info from the old English forum is no longer accessible.

There’s more information here (since yesterday, you need to have an account):
