These PC "Monitors" were a bargain! But do they work? [Big Linux]

[@cageliner]

Find the PSWD jumper or you could try clearing CMOS. From the manual: 3. Locate the jumper on the system board. Remove the jumper from the PASSWORD pin. 4. Plug the jumper to CMOS_CLEAR. 5. Wait for 3-4 seconds. Replace the jumper to its original position You have to dig in deep to find them 🙂There is a slot tor a wifi half card inside, a dongle is easier lol

[@Jsino_6651]

you can also find a site where it could provide a "generic" password

[@Ariannus]

The clear password instructions are on page 36 of the 9010 manual. The jumper is near the lower right corner of the mainboard a bit above the CMOS battery.

[@daffyduk77]

Looks like it won't be necessary based on one of your respondents - Ariannus - but Dogbert's password clear pages have fixed a fair few passwords for me, including Dell. Don't know about this one but would be interesting to find out dogber1.blogspot.com/2009/05/table-of-reverse-engineered-bios.html Might avoiding having to p*ss about opening it up

[@s1oplus_wt]

nice to see big linux mentioned, its very popular here where in brazil since thats where its made.

This was like buying all-in-one hifi systems from the 70's- early 2000's and probably beyond. The whole unit had to go for repair if just your tape deck or cd player was broken. Seperate components seem to work best. (of course I'm typing this comment on a Macbook Pro, which also is an all-in-one unit. lol! but you know what I mean.)

[@johnphillips4783]

If you're good at repairing your own kit then an all in one shouldn't be all that hard to fix. Granted a tower system is much easier to repair and service. Also with a hifi setup if your amp blows then the whole set up is pretty much useless until the amp is repaired or replaced.

[@paulwarner5395]

Thanx for the video. I wish we could get this sort of stuff here in New Zealand.

[@joshwa1234]

Thanks for watching!

[@matthewday7565]

Looks like they might have a password reset jumper

[@Revivify]

Nice find. Those earth pin-less kettle plugs are used on the Playstations

[@jonchapman6821]

What PlayStations? Some models of the Xbox 360 use the 2-pin kettle plug but I’ve yet to see a PlayStation that takes anything like it.

[@paulwalker427]

try dell or Fireport - case sensitive

[@jseger9000]

I use one of those Dell Optiolex AIOs as my daily desktop (I believe that it's a 9030?). I'm dual booting Windows and Ubuntu. I upgraded to 16GB RAM and it runs great.

[@jacktheripper6716]

oem motherboards have a jumper and cmos/password clear button/jumper I normally get intel server/workstation mobo's

[@EvilTurkeySlices]

I’m sure there’s a way to reset these bios passwords, older Dells aren’t as picky about that.

[@daffyduk77]

eg dogber1.blogspot.com/2009/05/table-of-reverse-engineered-bios.html for starters

[@gee_]

I stripped a slightly newer 9020 aio (smashed glass) recently, fetched: - £69 for the LCD alone - £49 for mobo - £35 for psu - £20 for cpu (6th gen i5) - £10 for 8gb sodimm - £25 for stand A few other parts (heatsink, fan, buttons, i/o panel, wifi assembly, speakers, etc) but they haven't shifted so will probably bin.

[@srvuk]

There is an engineer flash file that can reset the bios and strip all the password protection out. It will just require a bit of a search to find it these days.

[@iwatchforknowledge2766]

I just bought a Dell AIO that the thrift store thought was a monitor. But it’s not nearly as powerful as these. Mine came with a celeron n2830. 4GB ram. Came with key board and mouse and a power supply. A fresh install of Windows 8.1. Got mine for $7.93. Fun to tinker with but good for much else.

[@amdintelxsniperx]

dells bios passwords are so easy to unlock

[@alanmuir9768]

Override for the BIOS on the machine system number Machine 1 - 72WJ5Y1-1D3B, should be either pppppffn or V3g2FcVOEJ4kgv7S Machine 3 - HHWJ5Y1-1D3B, should be 55555nn5 or krWnAC2xARlIKvV9 Machine 4 - GGXC5Y1-1D3B, should be tttttnnt or xA6r5G3kqmHc90X7 You didn't show the system number for Machine 2, so can't help you there!

They're screaming for a Linux install

[@Kenshinshop22]

That's the best os for them at the moment since windows 10 will be end of life soon plus windows is too ram hungry so Linux would be perfect for it I agree

my guess those where used with windows 10 and being phased out now
