    the graveyard thread

    this is for members to mount the loss of dead computer/electronic parts.

    to start, my favorite apple usb pro keyboard died. num pad enter stuck. i removed the key to find the membrane core separated from the boot... i might use the thing for frets of fire or something... it had the best key action, a very smooth stroke. nice and heavy. had a few hotkeys and a built in hub. not klanky like my other keyboards.also looked killer.

    may it rest in peace...

    My old AST 486 PC, and my First home built. It was and AMD k6/2 450 mhz. Still have the AMD chip, and someday soon I will stick it in another box when I find one.

    There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

      i have a gigabyte ga-5ax board with a k6-2 500mhz. used it for a long time, was odd because i could amp it with 786mb of pc100 ram. stopped using it because i need a better cpu and the board was covered in choyos (none popped or visibly failed!)

          My MSI K8N Neo2. Left it on all night and video was out when I woke up. Wouldn't post after that. Probably a dead SB. I had to go buy a crappier board with only 2 sata connectors and no firewire.

              come to think of it...

              RIP my spare compaq presario 7000 board... it was recapped before i ordered proper caps for the main. i used some that would work in theory (original caps 10mm 1000uf 10v iq, rep. 8mm 1000uf 6.3v short-leaded sanyo/nichicon he pulls from my first recap (failed))but a bad iron tip put a divot in a joint. think posts with a drive controller error message. thank god the main was successful thanks to caps form tc and a properly cleaned tip.

                  Has anyone ever had a case fail? I have!

                  The only things I haven't had fail are passive Northbridge/GPU coolers
                  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
