  2. Nonvolatile BIOS memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonvolatile_BIOS_memory

    Some computer designs have used non-button cell batteries, such as the cylindrical "1/2 AA" used in the Power Mac G4 as well as some older IBM PC compatibles, or a 3-cell nickel–cadmium (Ni–Cd) CMOS battery that looks like a "barrel" (common in Amiga and older IBM PC compatibles), which serves the same purpose. These motherboards often have ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_self-test

    The original IBM PC could be equipped with as little as 16 KB of RAM and typically had between 64 and 640 KB; depending on the amount of equipped memory, the computer's 4.77 MHz 8088 required between 5 seconds and 1.5 minutes to complete the POST and there was no way to skip it.

  4. Backup battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup_battery

    This is often called the CMOS battery or BIOS battery. The original IBM AT through to the PS/2 range, used a relatively large primary lithium battery, compared to later models, to retain the clock and configuration memory. [2] These early machines required the backup battery to be replaced periodically due to the relatively large power consumption.

  5. Non-volatile random-access memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-volatile_random-access...

    Non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) is random-access memory that retains data without applied power. This is in contrast to dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) and static random-access memory (SRAM), which both maintain data only for as long as power is applied, or forms of sequential-access memory such as magnetic tape, which cannot be randomly accessed but which retains data ...

  6. Read-only memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-only_memory

    Electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), developed by Yasuo Tarui, Yutaka Hayashi and Kiyoko Naga at the Electrotechnical Laboratory in 1972, [10] went a long way to solving problem 4, since an EEPROM can be programmed in-place if the containing device provides a means to receive the program contents from an external source ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defective_pixel

    Close-up of an LCD, showing a dead green subpixel as a black rectangle A defective pixel or a dead pixel is a pixel on a liquid crystal display (LCD) that is not functioning properly. The ISO standard ISO 13406-2 distinguishes between three different types of defective pixels, [ 1 ] while hardware companies tend to have further distinguishing ...

  8. Screen of death - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_of_death

    A Yellow Screen of Death occurs when an ASP.NET web app finds a problem and crashes. [8] [self-published source?] A kernel panic is the Unix equivalent of Microsoft's Blue Screen of Death. It is a routine called when the kernel detects irrecoverable errors in runtime correctness; in other words, when continuing the operation may risk escalating ...

  9. Memory effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_effect

    Memory effect, also known as battery effect, lazy battery effect, or battery memory, is an effect observed in nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries that causes them to hold less charge. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It describes the situation in which nickel-cadmium batteries gradually lose their maximum energy capacity if they are repeatedly recharged after ...
