    Xfx 7100gs

    Four bulging Evercon ME series. All 470uF 16V. The 470uF 16V Rubycon MBZ is just fine. The 1500uF 6.3V Sanyo WX and Evercon ME also look fine.

    I like how the Evercons rated at 125C bloated and not the Ruby at 105C

    As much as I want to blame Evercon's terrible quality, first I'm going to blame the bulging Teapo on the 12V rail of the FSP PSU powering the card. Also, the only "exhaust fan" was configured to pull in cold air....an idiotic decision in my opinion

      Re: Xfx 7100gs

      Having them touch a passive heatsink won't do them any favours either (although I do think a Panny or Ruby in that situation would have held up just fine).
      I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

      No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

          They aren't touching the heatsink but they definitely would run hot there. And that's an old (and slow) card so I imagine it would be working pretty hard and being hot all the time

              XFX GeForce 6800 XT AGP [PV-T42K-UDE3] – recapping and mods
              by momaka
              Aaaaand… we have more retro-PC nostalgia repairs again.
              This time it's with a XFX GeForce 6800 XT AGP video card. The XFX model number is PV-T42K-UDE3.

              As with many early XFX cards, crap caps are the main issue here. The first one I bought and recapped was back in 2017. I've been meaning to post about it for a long time, but never got around to it due to the card needing a better heatsink/cooler to test it fully with the recap (more on that later on.) In the meantime, I acquired a 2nd one of these cards not too long ago (February.) Not like this makes any difference. Both...

              MacOS: R|W Programmers like CH341x BINs..?
              by TrumanHW
              For years I tried figuring out how to R|W BINs from my CH341x programmer.
              From FTDI's pkg, Apps specifically claiming they work, I failed for ~8 years.

              I'd expect many here figured it out (easily), but in case not ...
              It's one of the few forms of "how-to" remuneration I can GIVE BACK.

              This group is both GENEROUS & literally BRILLIANT / GENIUS!!!


              This may be the easiest means to copy-paste:

              Code:
              SERIAL -to- USB - CH341 ROM (MacOS):


Install xcode:				xcode-select --install
Relocate

              NVidia bumpgate
              by piernov
              Just archiving everything related to bumpgate since most stuff has disappeared from Google. Maybe people will finally take the time to read some of it and stop shouting "reflow gpu" at every occasion but rather try to understand what the real issue is…
              Interesting parts about the failure analysis are "Why Nvidia's chips are defective" and "Why Nvidia's duff chips are due to shoddy engineering"


              May complete this post at a later date with more details.
              Basically issue is a combination of thermal dissipation of the chip with hotspot,...

              Black screen on Sony 65x900h
              by Adam Russ
              I'm stuck on this tv. It has sound, and has backlight glow, but no picture. I've tried new power board, and new main board, but no change. Tried a new t con but still no change. I've updated the firmware after new parts with no change. Is it likely the panel is just dead of would it be lvds cables. I did take some shorter ones I had on hand and connected those between the main and t con just to see if I'd get a picture but no luck. I'm not sure what else there is to blame. Do screens just go out completely but remain with a backlight glow? The screen has been removed and used a backlight...

              Sony KD-49XF809y doesn't turn on
              by Zetabeta87
              Hi everyone!
              I have a 2018 Sony kd 49XF8096 that suddenly stopped turning on: No LED lights up, and it doesn't respond to the power button or the remote control.
              The power supply delivers 19.45vand I simply tried to check the fuses on the 2 boards (power and main) but everything seems ok. I have no references on where to test the voltage, but somewhere on the mainboard I also detect some, so you can't to understand which card may be to blame.
              Can anyone give me some advice? I haven't found anything online

              Thanks so much!!!
