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?

  • Most TPMs I’ve seen are part of the CPU. Dedicated TPMs were a thing with old hardware, but fTPMs have been built into the CPU for ages. Some laptops have dedicated TPMs soldered onto the motherboard, but I don’t know anyone who actually bought a physical TPM for a socketed board.

    Socketed TPMs generally don’t come with a motherboard or computer, they’re usually something you’d buy as an extension to the motherboard. If OP had one, I’m pretty sure they’d know.
