What do you do if you have Failed Windows updates? It started fine, 8 installed updates, but the last 3 in row failed :( How can I fix it?
Best to not even worry about that (as I did), it will or won't in due time.

If this was like $20 as one would expect by now I might buy another one but back in 2010 (guessing) I didn't pay much more than that new. Quite a board in it's day.

I have some dead memory slots on mine, may be from cpu not connecting on all pins. Good thing there are 6 slots. It's hard to see the other 3 slots in the picture as they are black, this board uses triple memory.
I think it's about time to upgrade, use to do that sooner than every two years but this one works so good.

It would probably more valuable is the mistake was super rare

Take a closer look at that Centaurus in different lighting conditions. As look at this one below. As the camera picks it up that the old Centauras was removed and Centaurus was printed over it. They say just eyeballing it, you don't see it.

Well the installation of the DRL module was a bust, I could have bought a fuse holder and a length of wire and achieved the same thing. I think that the module is defective. I have another one arriving in a couple of days. I will use the harness of the one I just put in, it should be super easy.
The way these work to turn on and off is battery voltage needs to be 13.3 volts to turn on and below 12.8 volts to turn off. I hope this doesn't catch fire or something in the mean time.

The yellow, blue and (not shown) green are optional.
Yellow is for turn signal, blue is for if a fluctuating power problem.
And green goes to horn to make DLRs flash with horn.
All mine do is come on with power and stay on till you cut the power, no automatic, no dimming when headlights are on...just on.
