The green light on the PS is on when plugged in and the orange light on the motherboard is lit but there is no response of any sort when I press the power button on the front. The led on the power button does not light and there is no beeping. What I have tried is shorting the PSU with a paper clip from the green wire to the adjacent black wire in the 24 pin plug and the PSU fan turns on and the CPU fan starts at max speed. With the CPU fan still at high speed, I remove the CPU four pin power connector (12v black and brown wires), from the motherboard and when I am testing the voltage diagonally with my VOM meter, it indicates 0.6v, the system starts and boots into windows, AFTER I plug the 4 pin CPU back into the motherboard and remove the PSU jumper. Memory is good, and no periferals are plugged onto the MB. BIOS battery was replaced and erased using the jumpers. I replaced the obvious bad caps on the PS to get to this place as described above. Any ideas?

Re: Inspiron 530S - boot issue
Mark this one as a tribute to Badcaps forums as fixed. After tear down the PS the second time , I found a 2200uf 10v cap hiding deep inside, that was just barely pouching at the top and after replacing this 10 cent cap, it has worked perfectly for 10 reboots and 8 hours of operation. Never think that ONE bad cap will not fix your issues.

I have the above mentioned Alien Ware A51 R2, currently it randomly will boot into the OS but more often than not it boot loops, I'm assuming there's an issue with power regulation somewhere.
It comes with Dual 180 Watt Dell PSU, which is ironic since the thing claims it requires 420 watts in the bios screen.
To rule out the power bricks I've attempted to power up the Laptop with a 330W and 240W Dell PSU at the same time, it still has the same boot loop issue so the problem is definitely the laptop.
Right now I'm trying to dig through the PDF schematics and Board... -

Hello, I have issue with Dell Inspiron 3542.
Motherboard marking:
The laptop works just fine (on battery and power supply) and doesn't cause any problems, except those described below:Code:Cedar_Intel-MB 13269-1 PWB FX3MC REV: A00
- The first problem is that the RTC/CMOS battery self-discharges after about 2-3 weeks after installing a new battery. I have been installing different batteries (GP, Duracell, Energizer) and the problem still exist.
- The second problem is the LAN network card (Realtek RTL8106E), which is not detected at all in Windows. The BIOS is

Hello,
I am experiencing boot loop issues with my LCD TV. When the TV briefly displays the logo, such as LG or Philips, and then shuts down only to repeat this cycle, it indicates a boot loop problem. The challenge lies in the inability to install new software under these circumstances.
Should I consider replacing the mainboard as a solution, or are there alternative approaches to address this issue?
Thanks in advance! -
Customer came in for data recovery, came to find out data is soldered on to this iMac (learn something new everyday) this is a 2020 T2 iMac so I was surprised because the iMac Pro has a T2 chip and it isn’t soldered on. Anyways, the iMac boots to Apple logo and then restarts, before it turns off you hear a quarter fan spin then it repeats itself. I decided to do a DFU revive to restore any hardware firmware issues and it was successful in reviving the device however the issue persists in boot looping. It shows the Apple logo for like 40 seconds then turns off and fan spin rinse repeat. I...
