Hello,
Today my washing machine completely broke down. My parents desperately tried to get it working, but it resulted in the circuit breakers tripping and my server (an old Dell Wyse thin client) experiencing a hard power off.
When I tried to turn it back on, I received these errors on the screen.
I ran a memtest, and it completed without any issues. I also created a disk image backup just in case.
Is there any chance of getting this machine running again, or is it only fit for utilization?
So, the flash memory wasn’t built into the terminal, it was a 2.5-inch SSD drive that I yanked out of its plastic case to fit into the terminal’s SATA slot.
Once unplugged it, I dumped the disk image using the
ddcommand onto my computer, and then I worked on that image to recover the data.Oh, that’s fine then. Though you should still have monitoring on drive health, or backups if you don’t care when exactly it dies.
