SiS760GX-MN - not what it appears

05-13-2014, 02:09 AM

eBay impulse buy for a S754 processor

Although BrandX, it looks well constructed, all Rubycon caps

Wronggg !!!

Their sleeves may be purple and gold, but the caps are actually branded Kingcon

And a "New" board came with a dead CMOS battery

The board probably is new. It's just that the battery is past its shelf life. If it works otherwise, then recap it and replace the battery and you should be good to go.

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
