My laptop is stuck in a boot loop and I don’t know what to do to diagnose it. Anyone a member of a hacker space in Berlin who might help me figure it out? I had to install a weird kernel extension to get Linux on it so I am worried that maybe why or I also might have fried the power manager chip on it after soldering the power cord back together. It’s a Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 running #Manjaro #Linux (#computerhelp #diy #fix)
I also can’t get it to go into BIOS mode. Not sure what that means. The screen gets as far as the windows logo and then goes black and then shows the windows logo and that happens 5 times and then back to black. Have gotten no other response from pressing combos of keys.
@liaizon ---- >>> @praxeology Do you have tips on Berlin hacklabs?
@wendy @praxeology lol I already DMed them privately. I love how small the fediverse is sometimes.
@liaizon hmmmm, are you maybe able to boot from a USB pen drive or optical drive into a live system where you could at least get your data back? or does the loop happen before the actual boot from a medium?
