Oops, I was recapping an 8RDA+ and I broke a pin off in the mobo. 
It is flush on both sides of the mobo. How do I get it removed now ?

Re: Broke cap pin off
I heat one side of the board and push on it gently with a needle, if you can get it out a little bit then grab on it with needle nose pliers and pull gently while heating. -
Re: Broke cap pin off
A bulletin board pin works well, too... it just has to be sharp. Helps if it's one of those with the plastic bit on the end so that you don't burn your fingers
Ludicrous gibs!

Re: Broke cap pin off
Awesome ! I ordered six P12343-ND caps from Digi-Key for my 8RDA+ machine. I only saw three bad caps (board was repaired by Epox once before) but when I pulled the ATX connector, I found another one next to the connector. Good thing I ordered six caps.
: The caps are 1500uf @ 6.3v. I successfully got the broken pin out and the comp is folding again. It's one or two parts short of being a nice gaming rig.
Specs:
8RDA+
XP2400+ (2.0GHz)
2x256megPC3000 Mushkin
ATI Radeon 8500LE 128meg
10gig WD
52x CD
It sits against the wall running Folding at Home 24/7. An 8RDA3+ machine sits right behind it doing the same thing.:
Thanks for the tips on removing the broken pin !Comment

Hello guys,
I have interesting problem. My MoBo MSI running on Ryzen 7 w/o graphics just good. I swapped to Ryzen 5 5600G and on the boot I stuck with screen on picture. Enter Password. I checked BIOS setting with Ryzen 7, no security is enabled, BIOS password or TPM.
BIOS I updated to last one.
any suggestions?
And same thing for two different 5600G, and yes, MoBo supposed to support it.
Thank you... -
Hi guys,
I have a friend's Dell 3779 that came to me with severely shorted mobo. Did not manage to isolate the cause, most likely that was a bga shorted. Went for a replacement motherboard. Got one from China, apparently it's been tested prior to shipping. The mobo starts up normally but I am getting no display whatsoever.
Tried using external monitor, but being blind I am not sure if laptops goes as far as booting to Windows, a d without it I cannot get hdmi to work. Can't see boot menu options to make sure it boots to Windows. Went ahead and did a blind bios update,... -
HI I have a PC using a Corsair cx600 psu & ASRock B450 Pro4 mother board that won't power on after a shutdown (replaced a dead drive in a raid array) Not the boot drive.
With most things unplugged, including the 24 pin ATX connector, but not the ATX12v to cpu, I have +5.01V on the +5vsb pin 9 from the PSU. When I plug the 24 pin back in to the mobo, the +5vsb fluctuates between 1.1v & 1.9v.
Not sure where to go from here ?
Is the PSU at fault or is the mobo causing the problem
Look forward to any help :-)
If I plug the 24... -
Hi, everyone. First post of an actual repair. I'm a technician but a complete newbie with laptops.
So I got this Dell Inspiron to play with.
No charger, so I connected to my bench PSU.
The laptop also didn't include: hard disk (I added one of my own for testing, see below) and wireless PCB (but I doubt this could have anything to do with this particular failure).
------What it did (and didn't do)------
1) I turned it on and it powered on. Powered down in 2 seconds by itself.
2) Removed RAM, changed slot. Same...
