    PCChips M810D V7.5C - salvageable?

    I scored this gray-box PC off Freecycle. It's got a Dynex 350W power supply and the mobo is a PCChips M810D V7.5C. The member warned me that the computer wouldn't turn on any more but I thought I'd scoop it up anyway in case it had any usable parts.

    Opening the case and I'm greeted by this...

    Overall I see five bulging caps on the board. with another 3 suspect because they're the same as two of the bad ones. And then there's the burnt little chips on here.

    What do you think the odds are of the CPU or motherboard surviving this and functioning properly if I replaced everything?

      Pretty good. There are quite a few threads on here depicting replacing fried VRM components with success.

          ^^

          Agreed. If you replace both the Caps and the MOSFETS, the board will probably be OK. I've done it myself once. https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12789
          I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

              Whoa. Thru-hole resistors on a motherboard!?

              As long as you know the model of the power mosfet, I'd say sure. I think some of the black on the board is more residue than burn.

                  ^ those are 0 ohm resistors. the usual ECS deal.. notice how the spots for them are labeled "F" for fuse..

                      Yeah I know they are 0ohm....just interesting because you never see too much thru-hole stuff on motherboards (besides some caps).

                      Oh and how could I have forgotten, fuses..pssshh...they're so overrated

                          I think you will find most if not all non-SMD parts on motherboards to use plated through holes...

                              Starting a new thread as advised.
                              https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...ght=P63&page=2

                              I flashed the firmware of H61h2-m2 rev:1.0 BIOS because

                              1. I explored the backup dump file and it was written in there.
                              2. Some you tube videos say it worked with their P63G in comment.
                              3. And it has same chip and firmware version from and H61h2-m2 rev:1.0

                              I can still access the BIOS but it is not booting up. Is there a way I could return my previous BIOS backup?

                              TIA

                              Sony XBR-49X900E - is this salvageable?
                              by griesemaster
                              I obtained a Sony XBR-49X900E with the following behavior:
                              -Powers on
                              -No Smart Core led code
                              -Backlight on when TV powered
                              -Display shows breathing/moving green blobs on a black background

                              Using the service manual, I decided to replace the TCON and see any changes. After replacing TCON the following behavior presented itself:
                              -Powers on
                              -Smart Core alternating orange/green pattern infinitely
                              -Backlight on when TV powered
                              -Display fully black

                              Following some threads I found here, I tested the following options....

                              Vertical lines on a Samsung UN60ES8000 - salvageable or bad panel?
                              by viewfindr
                              I have one thick vertical line right in the middle, along with a few smaller lines about 1 px wide of various colors.

                              I understand that this is most likely a defective panel? But wanted to rule out a bad tcon or LVDS cable just to be sure there's no hope before tossing it. I've read that this model has a built in tcon test pattern accessible via the service menu, but I wasn't able to see any difference on screen while scrolling through 0-18 of the patterns, unlike the mainboard test patterns.

                              My question is: is the screen supposed to change when viewing built in...

                              PcChips (ECS) Goal3+ no power
                              by DankEngihn
                              I was given a machine by a friend that is used to run a CNC machine, and they said it suddenly just stopped turning on one day. I took the board out of the case and immediately noticed a few things.

                              First, one of the SATA ports is ripped off (there's soldered pins on the bottom)

                              Second, there's a capacitor missing. What is it's values?

                              Third, the board is kind screwed up in the bottom right corner

                              And last was that the entire board was slightly warped.

                              When power is applied to the board, quite literally nothing happens....
