    Fried GA-8IPE775 - Repaired

    I recently aquired a dead Gigabyte GA-8IPE775 Motherboard. It was pretty obvious to me what was wrong at first glance. One of the chokes on the VRM had gotten so hot it had started to desolder itself. After removing it from the board, the PCB was almost black under it. After testing the MOSFETs, I found that one was shorted. So, I found a scrap board which had died due to corrosion, and I scavenged a coil and a MOSFET from it. I soldered them on to this board and, surprise surprise, IT WORKS! All it needs now is a re-cap (all of the smaller 1000uF caps are KZG)

    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

    No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

                  [LA-J891P] Warm cpu on 19v rail injection, is it fried ?
                  by tamerelapute
                  Hi,
                  I'm learning electronics(already have some basics) by fixing a FH52M LA-J891P rev1B. It come from an acer nitro 5. The charger was defaulting upon pluging. The 19V rail resistance is 0ohm (I believe that caps screw my measurement). When i inject 5A, I get a rail tension of 1.3V, and 0.8V vcccore.
                  Except the cpu, I cant feel anything getting warmer.
                  I believe that it is normal, because the cpu is "eating" half the power I'm imputing.
                  I dont know if the cpu is fried, because I did not remove the big capacitor on vcccore.
                  I believe that if the cpu was fried,...

                  Samsung UN65AU8000FF fried by water
                  by x_orange90_x
                  I was given this tv today. It was purchased just last month and only used for 3 weeks until recently when water leaked down the back and behind the cover. I removed the boards and WHOA 😲 did this thing get fried. Unfortunately the water got directly onto the backlights portion of the PSU. The board appears to be completely unrepairable, but I'm not certain about the backlights. I managed to get the probes of my tester into the slits of the plug and I DO get readings from both strings. I'm getting 26v from both. The PSU says LED Output is 167.4v however. Would this indicate that the backlights...

                  Fried capacitor on Dell-5520. Guilty as charged.
                  by Lapsmith
                  While installing new SSD's in my new to me Dell 5520 laptop, I dropped a screw which sparked and fried a capacitor. Yes, I know I should have disconnecte the battery first Doh!😡. The laptop runs fine, but I want to replace the capacitor asap. I ordered and received the replacement (10uF, 25V 0603). Since I also managed to burn up one of the pads it was soldered to, my main question is whether it is okay to solder this capacitor on top of another capacitor (same size, same function in circuit). Specifically, PC4428 is bad and no way to easily solder to the board. I would like to solder it piggy...

                  Mats / mods: detected and repaired GPU fault. Cant seem to test after!
                  by chronic519
                  Hello.

                  GPU came in, green lines. Spent lots of time using to get the Mats / mods drive working (found on youtube).
                  Found issue with a RAM block
                  Replaced, green lines gone.
                  Trying to test again, assuming getting the false positive. Originally had over 1K on a single bank. Now getting tosses low between banks.
                  Used a good card to test and same results low errors 32+.

                  I am just search for some form of command to do a full test on the GPU.
                  I just ran the mats command with my good GPU and passed after roughly 40 min.
                  The repaired one, ran...

                  Asus G15 5980HX - 6800M - No Display on Laptop - HDMI/Display Port external monitor works fine. Fried Component.
                  by amuse619
                  Hello!
                  Looks like I fried something when my EDP cable got squeezed on the hinge. I replaced the cable but still no display. Laptop works fine with external monitor connected through HDMI and Display Port-USB C port. I took it apart and I see a burnt component. Can anyone help me identify what this component is? I tried to use schematics for another G15 but it does not match on the amount of pins and size. I attached pictures. The component has a label on it - (21A29)

                  Laptop is a Asus G15 Advantage Edition 2021 Laptop Ryzen 9 5980HX - 6800M...
