    Epox EP-8K3A+ Mobo

    Hi

    I am having a problem with this board and rec'd it as dead.

    The board will power up but issues an alarm as with a memory
    error. Further investigations found the first memory slot to
    be faulty and I removed this (with a great deal of difficulty)
    with a view to installing a better (molex) ram slot than the
    cheapo that was formerly there.

    Unfortunately, I have noticed a number of what I believe to
    bypass caps on the RAM slot are missing. These are;
    CB127 and CB225

    As I do not know the values of these, for the purpose of
    replacing same, can somebody supply the device values
    if possible?

    Any help, greatly appreciated - thx

    I have four Epox 8K7A boards that all show memory errors, such as C1. They are all fixed by recapping the board.

      Thanks for responding

      I will do that with all the electrolytics as a matter of course.
      All the electrolytics are made by GSC and are coloured green.
      Are these known to be bad caps?

      Can you help with the values of the very small SMT capacitors
      I have referred to further?

      Thanks again

        Recapping Sony ICF-SW55 - verifying cap values
        by proxneo
        Dear reader

        I am performing a repair on a Sony ICF-SW55, which includes recapping (some) of the SMD capacitors on the mainboard. I am looking for verification of their values. At the moment, I'm 95% sure I've got the right values, but it is hard to find some official, credible or multiple independant sources on this.

        At the moment, I have selected replacements based on the following list of values:

        3 x 470uF 10VDC
        3 x 4.7uF 35VDC
        4 x 47uF 50VDC
        8 x 22uF 6.3 VDC
        1 x 220uF 6.3VDC
        5 x 100uF 6.3VDC

        Which...

        Different (lower) resistor values on PCB?
        by Kobok
        Dear Alls,
        For sure it id a stupid question, but help me to understand. I am in a Dell 2007WFP revitalizing project - searching reason why not starting. Some resistors needed to replaced is is obvious. When I have soldered some resistors the measured (with multimeter) values were sometimes rather different written on them. I supposed these are wrong units so I desoldered and made a checking measurement and voilá the values is the same is written on. This happens only in case of a few resistors, most have the same values (+/- 10%) are written on it. "strange" SMD resistors =>103...

        what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
        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!

        i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

        Here some measurements on HP Victus 16-d0500la, it might help someone, the values are on diode mode->mV and some lower ones on Resistance->Ω.

        This specific laptop has an Intel i5 11400h + RTX 3050TI, the values are from a working laptop....

        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...
