    Abit VP6 Up and Running!

    I want to thank Topcat, BadCaps Adminstrator, for resurrecting my VP6 MB. It couldn't get through boot when I sent it, and now it works flawlessly. Fine work, sir, and thank you for the reasonable, professional service. You may hear from me again, if I decide to resurrect my other board.

                      I was actually thinking something like that, but I was unsure how to spell it!

                        What is the expected lifespan of a resurrected VP6?

                        I have been putting off getting my boards recapped for a while, but now I have no choice since one finally died today

                        It's either recap, or build a new one.

                        After 6 short years with my VP6, I am going to be going into unknown territory if I do build a new one. My better half is on her 3rd computer (1 built, 2 DELLS) during the time I built the 1st VP6.

                          well.....I recapped my first VP6 got in late '98/early '99. Its been running 24/7 ever since then. I just pulled the board last week and I'm about to put it back into the fold (pun intended ). i just can't part with it.

                            Running Line Voltage and Integrating LED Pods - Automotive
                            by FALKLAN
                            Howdy everyone! I hope all is well where ever you are!

                            I'm attempting to integrate a couple of LED pods into an automotive reverse lamp circuit. The problem being, while the vehicle is running there is a 8.5v current present on the reverse lamp power wire. Needless to say is that all LED pods and lights dimly illuminate while the 8.5v is present, so the LEDs are always powered on while the vehicle is running. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the voltage changes to 12 volts.

                            I am uncertain how to convert this line into a switched 12v output line for the LED pods....

                            by rumpumpel1
                            Oberservation:
                            X1 Carbon 4th Gen runs very slowly. Task manager shows the CPU running at 400 MHz.
                            In rare cases (1 out of 20) it runs at normal speed.
                            It does so when running on battery or only with the charger.
                            When both are connected - charger and battery (50% charged) - the system switches between charger and battery once per second.

                            The laptop does exactly the same thing when running Windows or Linux, so OS level problems can be ruled out.

                            Flashing CleanME and a different BIOS made no difference.

                            Recap motherboards :: Abit KG7-LITE and Soltek SL-75FRN2-L
                            by Foetuss
                            Hi all

                            Hope this is in the correct place.

                            I'm planning on recapping both motherboards. I actually already ordered recplament caps for them, where I will be changing out most for poly's.
                            Could use some double checking to see if I'm not doing something stupid .

                            Pictures of the boards are attached.
                            What I will be replacing with what : (planned)

                            by Kambi13
                            Hi all, need some help. I have a Samsung NP370E4K-KD2BR, which as a 5th Gen Intel CPU that works fine when running with the charger plugged in, but has soon as I remove it and it's running on battery the screen backlight goes off.

                            Tried different battery - no change
                            Tried different screen - no change

                            Removed the plastic film from the screen inverter and looked for pwm signal which as about 3.3v when running with the charger plugged in, when I take it off the voltage drops down to 2.232v, so my best guess is that the EC is not providing the correct voltage....

                            by Skgod
                            Hey I am having Asus Rog strix g15 g513ih hn0865 and it's having display issues while running on igpu. Works fine when I open any game or whatsapp windows application. The issues are :
                            Black screen, freeze
                            The weird thing is that when as long as the laptop is running on igpu the problem keeps happening. But as soon as I open any game or whatsapp windows application, the laptop works completely fine.
                            When the screen freeze or black screen I used to move the display lid up and down and it usually works like that.
                            So can anyone tell me what would be the possible cause?...
