    Ammo needed for rmr (mosfets)

    Hi everyone. I recently had some really bad luck with an asus p5n32-e sli. The mosfet above an optional fan pin exploded, closer inspection of the board revealed a somewhat tarnished color on the printed part listed as sata(near the io shield). As I have no clue what happened, what hypothetically would cause this? And is it all on the user end in terms of errors?

    psu is a thermaltake toughpower 850 watt
    And any place where metal on the riser pin areas could short were covered by mylar.

    Any info will be very much appreciated, as I just spent a good deal of change on this new system, and I'm hoping the problem is only the mobo.


    Thanks

      This is the best i can do, cause the boards in the mail. opt fan 4 pin is 1st white pin to the left of satas in figure 9. And the browned part is labeled esata12 straight above the top most fin and 1st right next to the cap.

      hope that makes sense. :/

            Forgot to mention, the board gets power, but prior to it being dead, I was was getting ide detection errors, random restarts, memory detection errors until finally it would continually restart, lockup on windows screen and then I didn't even get a post screen or beep.

                Can bad capacitors cause a mosfet to blow up though?

                  short circuit would destroy a Mosfet
                  if its nothing you have done
                  and its been playing up since you got it them most likely a dud MB
                  If you have RMA'd it then hopefully it it will be replaced under warrenty

                  Someone posted about they were surprised at the amount of MB being sent back to Newegg with faults.

                  without really knowing which parts died or knowing the MB its hard to guess what happend
                  pictures of the actual board may have been of help,but its in the mail now.
                  since you say its less then a month old,
                  MB fault and something possibly with a power rail in the area of the esata.
                  maybe some low resistance intermittent pcb track fault

                  Thats only guess work on my part and there are others that might have a better idea
                  A faulty cap, possibly but doubt it

                  like I said only guessing and this is provided it isn't something you have inadvertently done. (it happens to the best of us at times)

                  Hope they give you a new one thought...
                  it doesn't look like a cheap MB
                  which is a bit of a worry if it was supplied faulty

                  Anyone of our regular system builders, noticed an increase of new MB being Faulty from box?

                  For that matter the quality of MB's builds getting worse?

                      I have.
                      Everyone at school knows me as the computer god so they always go to me. Within the last few months a few builders are telling me that they have had dead boards right out of the packaging. The caps are good and their tester cards usually show failures ranging from voltage all the way to a dead north bridge.
                      I personally question my K7N2 Delta2 which shows no visual faults or problems. and is stocked with good caps.

                        Thank you guys, you've all been very helpful. Just gathering the info in case newegg contacts me. And The board was pricey, hence my reservations about rmr (too much fine print when returning electronics). But newegg has a good rep, so I'll cross my fingers. I find it kind of strange that the board died 5 days before I'd have to contact asus for service.

                          by BlackScreen_22
                          Hi, I'll start by saying that I'm not an expert and I've reached a point where I don't know what to try/do anymore...
                          Starting from the beginning: I opened this subwoofer for the first time with a very strong smell of burnt electrical components, I realize that on the amplifier board there is a hole between V+ OUT and GND about the size of a finger, the damaged components were the shorted mosfets, two damaged zener diodes and two capacitors. I bought everything, I fixed the hole by cutting the pcb and putting a piece of a perforated board.
                          I had no problems connecting mosfets and capacitors,...

                          Intel D865PERL - no Vcore after replacing MOSFETs and MOSFET drivers
                          by kotel studios
                          Hi,

                          Finally got time to fix this board up.
                          At first it didn't give any POST codes. Turns out it was an unsupported Celeron D cpu. After dropping in an Celery 2.6gHz the CPU came out of reset with clock signal, but still no post codes. For a while it did work when I applied pressure to the ADP3168 chip, but on next reboot the MOSFETs started to burn. Then I left it as is for months.

                          Now I came back prepared. Replaced the bad MOSFETs and the ADPxx18k drivers. Now I don't get any MOSFETs blowing up issues anymore. But sadly, the Vcore is missing. The whole VRM isn't...

                          Gainward Phantom GTX 980 - mosfets w/ integrated driver NCP5369
                          by flerre
                          Hi!

                          Managed to get a Gainward Phantom GTX 980 in an auction for a bin with components.
                          No video out so I started fault finding and found a blown fuse for 3 mosfets. Started checking for shorts and found what I think is a short through all of those 3 mosfets; 0.1 ohms between "VIN" input and "VSWH" output. All mosfets in this gpu are the same ones (NCP5369) with integrated drivers and when I tried measuring the other ones through these ports they were somewhere in the kilo-ohms range.

                          So, could I safely assume all of these 3 mosfets are...

                          by NanoTesting
                          I got a 15-IIL05 that failed to turn on BUT IT DID TRY TO TURN ON and then turned off after 30+- seconds, i disassembled it and found a screw loose inside the case.
                          With charger it turns on, fan spins but gives no image.
                          Tested main mosfets no short, tested 3.3v,5v,DRAM, CPU etc and they were present.
                          Reflashed BIOS, same problem.
                          Replaced both main mosfets.
                          Checked main mosfets again and i noticed that they closed once the laptop shut down, so i decided to bypass them and used a bench PSU to check how much power the laptop was drawing while trying to turn on, 20v@3A,...

                          by c_corr
                          This board had the initial fault in VRM with high side Mosfet from PWM1 (phase 1) getting very hot. It also had the VRM caps quicly heating up in 10-15 seconds after power on.

                          This board uses mext ICs and Mosfets in VRM:
                          - ADP3180 PWM controller - in 3 phase mode
                          - ADP3418 as Modfet drivers

                          - Low side Mosfets STD90NH02L

                          Some of the symptoms were very similar with the "Dead Asus P5P800-VM" in this forum.
                          I had the sawtooth voltage on Vcore too this was probably the cause of the Vcore caps...
