    Good and Bad Mainboard Mfr Experiences

    Since am new to the forum, I have been reading everything.

    One thing that really surprised me was that even "Good Reputation" mainboard mfrs have released boards with "Bad Caps"!

    An earlier posting asked which mainboards were safe to buy. https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=787

    I would like to ask another question: How have the various mainboard mfrs stood behind their boards with "bad caps"? Especially those "out of warranty"

    Appreciate any actual user experience.

    Thanks

      Abit is the ONLY one that will replace a bad caps board no questions asked. If its out of warranty, they charge a $25.00 exchange fee. The only drawback, is Abit returns them with the same shoddy brands that they originally had.

      edit
      if I had to choose a brand, Supermicro all the way!

          They are consumer electronics, some better than others, some worse...The technology changes so fast that they are not planned/designed for long usage/life...

          Server components may be somewhat better...but you get what you pay for...

          Some one really messed with the "Bad Cap Fairy" and she decided everyone should suffer...
          Ya'll think us folk from the country's real funny-like, dontcha?

              Dell Latitude 7420 - Touchscreen not working since Mainboard replacement
              by Mirenia
              Hi everyone,

              I've got a little "problem child": my Dell Latitude 7420 2-in-1, which had a faulty mainboard.
              I replaced it, but ever since, the touchscreen no longer works — and honestly, I’m running out of ideas…

              In Windows Device Manager, I just see an I2C HID Device with error code 10. Sporadically, the touchscreen is recognized correctly for just a few seconds, but I haven’t been able to determine under which circumstances this happens.

              The touchscreen also doesn’t work in UEFI/BIOS, although it’s enabled...

              MASTER TL240 and new mainboard LW36BKC01
              by orcic
              Hello,
              I have an old MASTER TL-240 LED TV. Since it stopped working and it had a DVB-T receiver that is being dismissed in Italy, I've decided to replace the mainboard with a DVB-T2 one.
              The original problem was that when switching on the TV, the power LED was transitioning from red to steady blue, without showing video or audio.
              After checking some voltages on the power supply board (HKL-240101-B Rev. 1.4, HKL from now on) someone suggested me to replace the mainboard.
              Now I have some doubts about how to connect the new mainboard to the old power supply.
              First of...

              Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
              by Mgiffune
              I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

              I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and              ...

              Vizio M43-C1 - How closely do I need to match the mainboard number?
              by Devonavar
              I have a Vizio M43-C1 stuck in a reboot loop with no backlight.

              I've tested all the voltage rails coming out of the power supply and they are "normal" for this model (PS_ON & DIM go high when turned on, BL_ON & 3D_ON are close to zero due to backlight power flowing through the mainboard, 5VSB is 5V, and 12V is 19V, which is apparently normal for this board).

              Basically, I get similar results to Garry in this post: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=80346

              So, I've ruled out the PSU for now.

              The reboot loop...
