+# UnRedbox Wiki
+
+Welcome to the **UnRedbox Wiki** repository. This project is focused on hosting and documenting information extracted from a **Redbox Kiosks**. Our goal is to explore and understand the software and configuration of the kiosk system, while also preserving and sharing our findings.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+The UnRedbox project aims to demystify the inner workings of the Redbox kiosks. This repository serves as a central wiki for:
+
+- **Hardware documentation**: Gathering information about the various hardware implementations.
+- **System configuration**: Understanding the settings and behavior of the system.
+- **Security considerations**: Insights into potential vulnerabilities or interesting features.
+
+Please note that this project is for educational and research purposes only.
+
+
+## Contributing
+
+To contribute, please log in with your Discord account at [redbox.wiki](https://redbox.wiki) and follow the guidelines below.
+
+### [Before You Contribute](https://redbox.wiki/en/contributing)

+### Site Navigation
+
+The navigation panel on the side of the website is controlled by redbox.wiki admins. If you'd like a page to appear in the navigation, please contact **codeHusky/Loki** on Discord.
+
+### New Pages
+
+Before adding a new page, ensure that an existing page doesn't already cover the topic you're looking to work on. If there's overlap, see if it's more appropriate to add to an existing page rather than creating a new one. We aim to keep the number of pages minimal while avoiding excessively long pages of documentation.
+
+If you still need to create a new page, feel free to do so. Just make sure you contact **codeHusky/Loki** in the Redbox Tinkering Discord to have your new page added to the navigation.
+
+### Writing Tone and Style
+
+All contributions should use a professional tone. Avoid using terms like "I" or referring to yourself directly. If you're documenting a technique you created, feel free to credit yourself, but avoid taking credit for "discovering" things that exist in every kiosk.

 <p>Some kiosks come configured with their GPU drivers disabled. This results in the user interface being exceptionally slow and choppy. Animations will stutter and tear, and overall it looks quite bad.</p>
 <p>You can attempt to fix this by simply turning on the GPU drivers in Device Manager, accessible via <a href="/kioskengine/redbox-desktop">Redbox Desktop</a>. Techs have noted that this may not work and the device will simply not boot until you enter safe mode, though this doesn't appear to strictly be the case.</p>
 <p>One potential route is using a DisplayPort to DVI cable or adapter and re-running the cable through the harness to the door if your VGA cable doesn't work. <strong>Note that Windows will take forever to boot the first time you do this</strong>, so give it 10-20 minutes before you give up and reset everything. It will seem like it's frozen, but it's not. If your disk activity light is out and the keyboard isn't responding, something may have went wrong.</p>

+<h2>Powering On a Redbox Kiosk Computer After a BIOS Reset</h2>
+<p>Redbox kiosk computers are configured to automatically power on when connected to a power source (autoboot). However, if the BIOS is reset—whether from a manual reset or due to a CMOS battery failure—this autoboot setting will revert to its default state and become disabled. After this, the computer will require a manual power-on each time until the autoboot setting is re-enabled in the BIOS.</p>
+<h4>Locating the Power Button on Premio Computers</h4>
+<p>On Premio computers, the power button is discreet and may not be immediately visible. It is located on the back of the unit, near the I/O panel. Look for a small button close to the I/O LEDs (typically used to indicate network or drive activity). Pressing this button will power on the computer, allowing access to the BIOS to re-enable the autoboot setting if needed.</p>
+<p>Note: Once the autoboot on power setting is re-enabled in the BIOS, the computer should resume automatic boot-up on power connection, as originally configured.</p>
+<p>&nbsp;</p>
