        I am afraid for these connectors it is somewhat complicated…you can actually find both for SATA and many others (for example coaxial DC jacks). I stick with manufacturers marking…

          Burned out PSU Corsiar HX1200 and NZXT C850, connected to wrong Molex/Sata cable from EVGA.
          by coinwizx
          Hi,
          Anybody has experience repair PSU burned out due to connect to EVGA molex/sata cables. I know the cable is not compatible (i got them mixed up), but I though i can connect it and use a PSU tested to find out which is the wrong sata/molex cables. As soo as I pluged in the powered molex cable to the PSU tester, the power supply short out, and will not turn on anymore. After the incident, the PSUs (both HX1200 and C850) try to power on and shut itself off immediately. The ATX PSU tester survice the short circult, still working perfectly. Anybody know if it's an easy fix or know which parts...

          GIGABYTE X299 AORUS ULTRA GAMING - SATA PORTS 4-7 NOT WORKING ???
          by DynaxSC
          Hi,

          I have the above mentioned bord after repair, which was related to a lot of missing smd devices on the back of the board.
          There were almost 20 devices missing, caps, resistors and some diodes/mosfets.
          The board is generally working now, all PCIe ports are working, Windows installs normally.

          However I have a problem with SATA ports 4-7 (the board has 8 SATA ports) - disks are not beeing recognized by the BIOS neither by Windows (which is usually normal in case BIOS does not recognize them).
          The SATA 4-7 driver network is quite simple chipset<->buffers/drivers<->SATA...

          No LCD image after connector replacement – lifted components and damaged resistor (Nintendo Switch Lite HDH-CPU-02)
          by Tomylee
          Hi everyone,

          Sorry for the person who’s going to read all this !
          I'm on a Nintendo Switch Lite, motherboard HDH-CPU-02.

          While replacing the left joystick, I had to remove the motherboard to access the connector underneath. When I lifted the LCD connector latch, it broke (the plastic had become brittle over time), so I replaced the entire connector.

          During the desoldering of the LCD connector using hot air, three small components located just below the connector (likely 0402 capacitors) came off and remained stuck to the bottom of the...

          Help identifying connector for ASUS 4090 Strix RGB LED connector
          by 5mall5nail5
          Hi All -

          I had replaced my ASUS 4090 Strix cooler with a waterblock and put the stock cooler on the shelf. Was moving it and snagged my sweater on the connector and pulled the wires out of the pins on the RGB connector. I tried to get them back on but its too small so I opened the stamped pins and tried to solder but its not a good repair and the wire broke on reinstallation.

          Looking to replace the connector on the cable side and get pins to crimp onto a new cable. Bought random JST and such but nothing is correct. Can anyone help identify the connector and possibly matching...
