Chosen Solution I replaced the system board in my laptop HP Envy 17 3D Product # A6U50AV. Everthing works fine but the Model Name in the BIOS shows as HP Pavillion DM3. This is incorrect as my model is HP Envy 17 3D. How do I change this information? Remove & insert again the CMOS battery, this will erase firmware memory. If nothing will change, flash a new Envy firmware. There is almost zero probability, that incorrect program is sitting there right now if the computer is working....

Chosen Solution While trying to reduce noise on my PS4, I ripped off the power supply unit connector pad. Do you think I can do it myself by soldering it back on, or do I need it to send it to repair? In that case, I may as well buy the ps5. Images below: @ps4brokensupply Yes, two of the solder pads look still good enough for a solder repair. For the third and fourth one (red) looks like you can run jumpers from the connector to the end of the trace (or anywhere in between)....
