    Possible prob on a Gigabyte board

    I have a Gigabyte GA-6VXC7-4X with a 933. No OCing. Sometimes it won't boot the OS the first time. Or the second time. Sometimes it takes a dozen times.
    The WinXP Home screen first comes up for about 2 seconds, then the machine reboots.

    Is this motherboard a possible for bad caps? Just curious. Its happening more and more which is why the caps were the first thing to come to mind. Well, the second actually. The first thought involved a rather large amount of explosives.

    Have ya looked at the caps yet for the notorious bulging?? I've seen a couple gigabytes with bad caps, and most recently a Soyo. So this problem isn't isolated to only Abit.

    If it does have some bad caps, shoot me a pic or two if ya can, another to add to the list

      Will do.

      I have to reopen the case this weekend...or whenever the new CD-ROM drive arrives. I'll check it out then.

      Note: If you suspect a CD is damaged, DO NOT put it in your drive. Had a cd disintegrate on me. There was a small crack and I wondered if I could pull any data from it. Yes...temporary brain fart. Nasty business. The drive didn't survive. Oh well. Cheapy drive anyway...

        Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
        by Tynan Dill
        I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

        Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

        I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

        The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

        With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

        Assuming...

        Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
        Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

        TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
        by howardc64
        All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
        • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
        • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

        LG OLED77G1PUA - No Video / Audio after a TCON Board change and Software Update
        by Hakuu
        Hi There,

        This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.

        After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.

        More Details

        Got the same exact TCON board from TVPartsToday and replaced it. But didnt transfer the EPPROM data (didnt...

        Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
        by jb_Bak
        Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

        Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
        Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
        CN6401
        Pin 01 NC
        Pin 02 NC
        Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
        Pin 04 "N/C"
        Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
        Pin 06 "GND": N/C
        Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...
