So I'm working on a hp slimline s3620f. The gentlemen said that he was working on a project, when it BSOD and rebooted, after which he did a memory test. I assume windows memory test, this indicated bad ram. After that he rebooted the system, it was dead.
I got it about 2 weeks ago and play with everything except the powersupply due to it being propitiatory miniature 24pin atx conenction. Nothing, no beeps, no post, fan is spinning and lights come on, but no function.
I've inspected the motherboard and found nothing of interest. I noticed rubycon and OST caps, figured one of those OST RLX's went open or shorted and went ahead and ordered 10 new caps. Today I replaced with new nichicon HN caps on the board and it's still dead. Nothing, won't beep or post, fan is spinning, lights are on, but nobody's home.
Age: 2
Mobo: Foxconn MCP73S01/Irvine-GL6E
*Looks like nforce 630i, is this one of those problem chipset with bad substrates?
Ram: Two 2GB DDR2 800
Graphics: Integrated Geforce 7100
HD: WD 500GB
Stuff that might give a clue or may be normal:
Two of the caps I've put in *one at the dimm and the other at the pci-e slot* are shorted to 50 ohms on my DMM. I have removed them and tested the caps and they are not shorted, but the holes on the board still test 50 Ohms. I think they are in parallel with the other caps but this mini-itx traces are difficult to see with so many SMD components crammed together. The other caps are not shorted.
So what could it be? PSU? Bad Chipset? A smd component failure somewhere?
Will post pictures if you need/ask for them, would have posted some but camera is dead and charging up.
