Re: ASUS P4S800D-X - Won't POST, gives beep codes - Help needed
Thanks for all the suggestions.
First I went and washed the board, since it had some thick layers of dust here and there. No luck, the board still hung at the same place.
Since now it was clean, I looked very carefully for broken traces, but couldn't find any. Really, the board is in very good condition, not a single scratch anywhere.
Then I recapped all the OST RLS 1000uf 6.3v ones with NEW KZG, same values. I tried again, still no luck, the board hangs.
Then I recapped all the OST RLZ 1500uf 6.3v ones with NES Panasonic FJ, same values. Again, no luck...
I didn't mess with the KZE or the small Ltec ones...
So, seems like another problem that isn't worth tracking down, probably related to the southbridge, as it really gets very hot when the mobo powers up. Any other ideas are welcome, but I think it simply can't be repaired, or I simply lack the knowledge to do so.
