Re: ugh.......dirty
I don't mean to one-up you, but I've cleaned far worse than that. Anyway, when you're done cleaning it, the satisfaction is fulfilling.
Can't wait for the after shots!

Re: ugh.......dirty
nope i think its car exhaust. it was in a room next to the main road on the 3rd floor. kinda makes you think about what you are breathing. i see only machines in the city with this black dust.
I would not be happy to have the most disgusting server so dont worry.I don't mean to one-up you, but I've cleaned far worse than that.

ok i think i will remain in the city, thanks
dunno what to do with it yet though. the scsi disks have been whining for a long time so i wont use them. i was running it out of production until they died but got bored waiting, quantum scsi are definitely better than the ide. it was installed in 1999 so it is older than i thought. i will definitely clean it. It would be nice to serve archive data using pci sata. a gig of ram and some new procs would be nice...........sad to shut it down, i will miss novell.

doh! there is only one 8.2 vrm so no dual possible unless we find one.

Re: ugh.......dirty
looks interesting, i dont know if it would be compatible though. what do the other stickers say.
situation with the server at the moment is the psu is playing up. i had problems to start before one time when i had to down it a while ago. now it was starting then restarting repeatedly with no cdrom/hdds attached.
eventually started properly so i shut it down again and i reattached them and got it up. the hdds sound like shit now. i am not suprised, when you take elderly servers out of service for a while and then start them again big problems start.
anyway the hdds are for the trash i know anyway. what about the psu though? the caps are chemicon and look ok. any ideas? i will take it apart and check it with the esr meter to see whats up. but anything else i should check except for the caps? need to refurb psu otherwise it is all no use,Last edited by willawake; 03-24-2006, 01:45 PM.Comment

Re: ugh.......dirty
Odd, And I looked at that PSU and thought, ahh, old nice servers always use good powersupplies, oh well
Regarding the VRM, I was only teasing you, I need it myself
A friend to me shutdown a Netware 3.11 server at a place, it had 6 years uptime, the HDD's never spun again after that... Of Course he was wise enough to actually make a backup before "down":ing it, because he was kind of expecting it with that kind of uptime

Re: ugh.......dirty
it looks like a good psu, just needs some work. dont worry about the vrm, ebay is calling. actually i need ram more than cpus.
lol, your friend made a good call. ctrl+alt+esc and your life flashes before you along with various other text lol. i guess if my server had been running anything else it would have not looked like that. look what the designers have to take into account, the overclock boys who nuke it quickly or the server boys who give it a slow death. (actually it might be the accountants who do that)Last edited by willawake; 03-24-2006, 04:43 PM.Comment

Re: ugh.......dirty
That sucks! That reminds me of a 162 MB Quantum HDD I have. It seemed to not spin up when it's cold or at least when below a certain temperature. It seemed that whacking it sometimes would make it spin up! LOL!Originally posted by Per HanssonOdd, And I looked at that PSU and thought, ahh, old nice servers always use good powersupplies, oh well

Re: ugh.......dirty
Yup - the AcBel PSU is not as good as the earlier (?) Delta OEM units that HP was using. It should be fine after a recap, though. Give a shot of TV tuner cleaner or switch cleaner to all the power connectors, as well.
I'm not sure about this particular system, but if it's a i440BX chipset, it may be capable of supporting Cumines in slotkets with a VRM upgrade to 8.4 and a BIOS upgrade (for Cumine microcodes). I was able to do that to a HP Kayak XU that originally had a Deschutes PII/350. Another option (even more iffy) is a Tualatin-conversion Slotket.Comment

Re: ugh.......dirty
I just noticed you replaced the PSU fan backwards. The label side should be facing away form the components.Comment

Re: ugh.......dirty
I beg to differ.Originally posted by Chris1992
Notice the location of the PSU - at the very bottom of the case. It is therefore logical, coolingwise, that this should be an air intake, not an exhaust.Comment

Re: ugh.......dirty
both fans are backwards. i fixed them after uploading the pix. original for the psu was for exhaust so i continue original designComment

Re: ugh.......dirty

I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

Problem
This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached.... -
I have here a Magnum IA.100 which belongs to my parents.
The unit powers on & when the relay kicks in, you get a pop from the speakers (this might sound weird but is usual behavior for this amp). However, you get nothing coming through it from any of the inputs & no pops and crackls from any of the controls.
Because of the sound from the speaker when the amp turns on I have assumed that the output section probably works but I could be wrong & I'm not sure how to test that side of things further.

I am dealing with this LA-G341P, which had heavy liquid damage around the Audio board, Battery charging circuit. I went and cleaned liquid areas and left the audio board disconnected.
It had blown PQ1900/02/3 as well as a trace on PU1900. I replaced all 4, and now it turns on and switches off. With a connected battery, it turns on and stays on for a while, even loading the system, then cuts off suddenly.
Charger only - without a battery, the PQ201/PD200 area gets hot. I can see the chipset and CPU also warm up for a second trying to pull up to 2A, then cust off.... -
Copying DMI information from an old bios to a new one is difficult for some members, often they have no experience with a hex editor,or some that have tried find it too hard.There is an option to make things easier for those members so that they don`t need to post their own bios backup for the DMI copying.
Experienced bios modding members can help by posting in other threads the DMI offsets,macro script generated by the software and a download link to the software at softpedia mentioned in this guide,or post your macros in the comments here with a link to the bios request thread ....
