Somebody was telling me there are some fuses on the motherboard... if there is I don't recognize them, and that sometimes this is what causes a motherboard not to power up even after recapping, is this correct?
TIA

Re: Fuses on Motherboards
They are surface mount, usually green in color, and are prefixed with 'F'. EX: F101 might be the marking on the motherboard for it. I'll try and get a pic of one next time I'm at the shop.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: Fuses on Motherboards
There are some through-hole polyfuses for the keyboard, mouse and USB. They might be grey, beige or similar in colour, and look like a 1/4W through-hole cylindrical resistor in appearance.Comment

Re: Fuses on Motherboards
And no, they don't cause the board not to work. However, they can cause the keyboard, mouse, USB or game port not to work.Comment

Re: Fuses on Motherboards
No problem, heres a few more I forgot about and maybe not known of.Originally posted by Topcat
I don't have a pic for the 1/4W resistore fuse.
BTW the little grey retangular blocks in the first picture are actually coils but they will open if there is too much current, hense acting like a fuse(seen usb ports use this and even replaced them)Attached FilesComment

Re: Fuses on Motherboards
Thanks for the visual aids..
Already figured out the surface mount fuses are probably not worth the hassle of trying to replace, sorry but my hands are no match for the robot that put em in, in the first place lol.
ifrythings: What type of heatsink are you looking for? I own a PC Recycling business, perhaps I might have what you are looking for?www.bcrelectronics.caComment

Re: Fuses on Motherboards
Well I'm at work right now but when I get to my shop I'll take a picture, anyway, it's a soldered on one so the heat sink is very close to the board and is screw mounted.
More details when I can get ya a picture.
BTW the fuse can be changed, tweesers and good lighting and you have it set.Comment

Hello,
I have a Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 (G533QM) that had a dead motherboard (Graphics card dead) and after trying to fix the motherboard with no success, I bit the bullet on a sale for a new motherboard. I ordered a motherboard for the 15 inch model which is the one that I have, and when the motherboard arrived it wasn't for a little while that I saw it was from the 17 inch model.
My question is, can I update the Bios on this G733 motherboard to a G533 Bios.
The reason for wanting to do this is that the keyboard isn't working as it should, and I think this... -
Hi everyone 😀,
I'm here today to ask for help with repairing the motherboard of a Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH.
To give you some context, I'm passionate about computer repair so much so that I've invested in a lot of tools and started practicing on dead and old hardware. I've been learning how to solder and desolder components, mostly focusing on phone repairs.
Recently, I bought a broken Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH for just €150, and there are two main reasons why I made this purchase:- I already own the exact same model, but its plastic chassis is badly damaged.

Subject is a blank screen issue in HP Envy 17-3290NR 3D version laptop with motherboard Louis V1.1 6050A2489901 MB-A02. Production year is 2012. This one is a 2nd hand motherboard which I could use it for few months only. Suddenly no output from the internal display and also no signal from HDMI port then Windows out of order after few boots.
Caps lock working normally and no HP's caps-lock warning blinks. Making a hard reset and replacing the RAM sticks or using different slots didn't help.
Fans are spinning. Blindly could install windows11 and got the device manager... -
This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.
There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...
