    Soyo MoBo

    Hello from Argentina!
    I hope you don´t mind my bad english! I have a Soyo MoBo for a Pentium III processor. Its model number is 7VA...something else I don´t remember by now. And yes, I´m suffering from the "badcaps" illness!
    I want to know which specifications must the new quality capacitors fulfill in order to buy the proper ones.
    Another thing it would be helpfull is if someone can tell me if I should remove and replace ALL OF THEM, no matter whether they "look well".
    Well thats all for today![/b]
    Pray for Diego Armando Maradona!

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    If you're looking for a place to buy some caps, try www.digikey.com, they will ship internationally. They're a bit pricey, but should have what you need.

    I recommend replacing everything 680uF and up, and all low-ESR caps, even if they look ok. I got an FIC board in, which all the caps looked fine, but they were shot all the same.

      by ChaosLegionnaire
      so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

      Mobo MSI B550-A PRO password popup
      by Cerberuska
      Hello guys,
      I have interesting problem. My MoBo MSI running on Ryzen 7 w/o graphics just good. I swapped to Ryzen 5 5600G and on the boot I stuck with screen on picture. Enter Password. I checked BIOS setting with Ryzen 7, no security is enabled, BIOS password or TPM.
      BIOS I updated to last one.
      any suggestions?
      And same thing for two different 5600G, and yes, MoBo supposed to support it.
      Thank you...

      Dell G3 17 3779 - no display after mobo replacement
      by mrsith
      Hi guys,

      I have a friend's Dell 3779 that came to me with severely shorted mobo. Did not manage to isolate the cause, most likely that was a bga shorted. Went for a replacement motherboard. Got one from China, apparently it's been tested prior to shipping. The mobo starts up normally but I am getting no display whatsoever.

      Tried using external monitor, but being blind I am not sure if laptops goes as far as booting to Windows, a d without it I cannot get hdmi to work. Can't see boot menu options to make sure it boots to Windows. Went ahead and did a blind bios update,...

      Corsair cx600 psu & ASRock B450Pro4 mobo wont start
      by Ibod
      HI I have a PC using a Corsair cx600 psu & ASRock B450 Pro4 mother board that won't power on after a shutdown (replaced a dead drive in a raid array) Not the boot drive.

      With most things unplugged, including the 24 pin ATX connector, but not the ATX12v to cpu, I have +5.01V on the +5vsb pin 9 from the PSU. When I plug the 24 pin back in to the mobo, the +5vsb fluctuates between 1.1v & 1.9v.

      Not sure where to go from here ?

      Is the PSU at fault or is the mobo causing the problem

      Look forward to any help :-)

      If I plug the 24...

      Dell Inspiron 14-5448 - fan turns off and mobo keeps running
      by Felipe_Serra_83
      Hi, everyone. First post of an actual repair. I'm a technician but a complete newbie with laptops.

      So I got this Dell Inspiron to play with.

      No charger, so I connected to my bench PSU.

      The laptop also didn't include: hard disk (I added one of my own for testing, see below) and wireless PCB (but I doubt this could have anything to do with this particular failure).


      ------What it did (and didn't do)------

      1) I turned it on and it powered on. Powered down in 2 seconds by itself.

      2) Removed RAM, changed slot. Same...
