[@jimmyl82104]

From what I can tell, that motherboard looks like something from a modern slot machine, modern arcade game, or a digital signage display. A lot of those have graphically demanding visuals that are usually on 24/7. They also usually have large, multiple high-res displays (1080p and up) with 3D content, especially slot machines. Definitely something with (an) integrated display(s), hence the LVDS connecters and the integrated HDMI.

[@gorkskoal9315]

That's a good point!

[@D3Vlicious]

Most likely some form of signage display. An arcade board and even slot machine would require a JAMMA interface to plug it into a cabinet.

Regarding "inferior build qualities", that's not possible to generalize, because there is questionable - or blatantly bad - stuff, and there are products with quality comparable to many famous, non-chinese brands (Xiaomi products for example). I'd say that the only real (or relevant) problems are the lack of warranty/support for things bought directly from china and the fake products.

Heck, even our giant games with big displays didn't even have a gpu, because most of the games are super simple to run. It was manly the driving games that had gpu's, and even then they were super old ones.

Much more elegant to set up a Linux distro (especially a minimal one like base Debian which is designed for mission-critical servers) to be focused on your task instead of some overly-bloated OS that adds complexity.

This Motherboard was made for a Kickstarter "secret"project that never started.... It was suppose to be a new "console" (basically a mini PC camouflaged to a console like the Atari VCS). The Factory did the prototypes and blue prints, so they sell them if you want one because they have the blue prints. For more details you need to find people involved with this "secret" Kickstarter project that never started! Good Luck! ;)

Having Linux work when Windows wouldn't, I've had that experience with a micro ssd card and a few memory sticks (Thumb drive). Suspected they had gone wrong. Windows wouldn't even see them. Linux did. And we were able to salvage quite a bit of the information. They were definitly on thier way out as they could not be reformatted after getting the info off. Doesn't work for all ssd and memory sticks. Some are just too far gone. But it is worth a try if you Windows doesn't see the stick anymore. You may be able to salvage some important info you forgot to back up.

[@resetcoder]

This is actually a not bad advice for me, because 3 days ago a somewhat new pendrive just died when I was copying files on it under windows 10, my laptop didn't recognize either in the disk management. It does the sound when I connect it, but doesn't show up even in the device manager as storage device. I forgot to boot my laptop to linux and check there, but I definitely will. Maybe it helps. Thanks for the tip. Edit: because i get likes for this comment i assume others are having this issue, so i'd like to report that it worked. Thanks for the hint! Pendrive saved. Reformatted under linux, works again under windows.

[@مقاطعمترجمة-ش8ث]

​@@resetcoder the issue I had with linux and Pendrive is linux dose not have low level format utility , dd command doesn't work on low level , I know it's required special tools that's runs only on Windows , but that was week point for hackers and open source OS like Linux , I'm not asking too much or being greedy , but I never saw single project or attempt to from Opensource programmer to decrypt USB flash memory driver and dumb it's framework to analysis it at least , if you had tried these tools (on Windows) you will understand what I mean it's givers you fully control of Pendrive like make hidden partition change the device id Luck it encrypt the files ,

[@مقاطعمترجمة-ش8ث]

@Game Over I really don't know , I tried it multiple time failed to create bootable USB Pendrive , When I use Window utility (like one developer by HP) it's created the boot immediately , + I don't know why there is no single Linux utility that can extract or modify Pendrive firmware , even low level HDD tools that available on Windows have no equivalent on linux , i don't know how describe this but these tools are very important to maintain the PC's

[@مقاطعمترجمة-ش8ث]

@Game Over Yes I was talking about "jtag/uart/uboot" that tools were specified to the chip unfortunately I can't find it on my hdd , i only find this "HDD Raw Copy Tool" I used once to remove copy protection on one of Pendrive I have .

[@مقاطعمترجمة-ش8ث]

​@Game Over in fact my brother give it to me (I think it related to chines manufacture) , use it 4 years ago i can't remember it name (I think I download the new version from Russian site lol ) , looks like these tools were writer either n C or Assembly to reprogram the PenDriver Microcontroller (their is guys on YT talk about SD utility too ) sadly my memory is weak i can't remember all these tools name , but i use it on Clear mobile USB Pend driver (it was 64MB) so were can put new WimMax modem driver on it , yeah that's weird since first time i know i can control the pen drive capacity even create hidden partition and change the boot order .

@@ErimlRGG To be fair, almost all of them use a custom version of the kernel instead of mainlining their support let alone open sourcing their drivers. Whether that's because they're stupid enough to believe their kernel driver is a vital business secret or malicious enough to use it as a way to force you to buy new hardware instead of updating the kernel is up for debate. My actual point being, the mainline Linux kernel probably wouldn't have any drivers provided by the manufacturer and the difference is most likely down to Linux having a more robust system for handling errors.

Said PC became, and remains, by far the most used PC in the house - very convenient, more ergonomic than a laptop, and as it still has the laptop battery it can be moved without having to power it off... ...the guts I used weren't that great in the first place and my monster is really starting to show it's age - a motherboard like this would make an awesome upgrade, especially as laptop motherboards of similar specs are really expensive.

Iffy connections can improve once the hardware warms up. If you are determined to find out, you can examine the quality of the solder joints you can see. Allow the system to cool completely and start up again. Same problems as initially seen are a good indicator of possibly bad solder joints that "tighten up" after sufficient warm up. I diagnosed a system that crashed until it warmed up. Reflowed the CPU ball mounts and it worked perfectly thereafter. I assume that it must have because I didn't get an angry call from my customer.
