    Generic crap Matsonic PIII MB with Chemicon knock offs

    This is from a rig in my lab. Thankfully all the experimental data is safe. The board was on its way out a long time ago. It caught our attention only after a few BSOD loops..lol. To make things worse, this board was powered by a Powmax.......

    Most of the 1000uF,6.3V Canicons are dead....
    Also the rest of the crap G-Luxon on the CPU VRM side is dead as well...

      reminds me of PC Chips with the cheesy heatsink and Canicons. VRM looks different than the ones I've seen though... anyway, nice

              yep. Personally I don't even bother to check them anymore, straight in the junk box they go. Seen too many issues even with new caps (yes, I recapped a few in the past... )

                  PCChips is an other alter-ego for Matsonic, ECS, etc. (all are OEM boards from ECS). However, the board will most probably be reliable after recapping and swapping out the PSU for something decent.

                      So it looks like ECS were 100x worse than they are now. Using knock-off caps and G-Luxon's is just criminal.

                      Actually mate, the PSU has been running for almost 8 years now without a problem. It seems to be Indy regulated and the caps are pretty decent (Matsushita on the primary, Teapo on the secondary).

                          OLD Socket 478 custom bracket + NEW generic cooler
                          by BleedCap
                          I already posted this on vogons.
                          Its a 3d printed custom bracket for socket 478.
                          I used this AM4 bracket as a base design.
                          Its to be use with cheap generic clip based cpu cooler.

                          Reason for doing this is:
                          - Its hard to get/find a good copper base cooler. Even if you find one, the price is ....
                          - New generic cooler is cheaper and can use bigger fan (less noise)

                          I tested the bracket with cheap chinese horizontal cooler + fan taken from CM hyper 212 evo.
                          The processor that I was using is P4 2.4Ghz prescott....

                          generic diffuser?
                          by linuxrunner
                          i have a 65" samsung UN65TU700DFXZA. my kid sprayed cooking oil from a spray/mist bottle onto the screen (2yr old thinking she was cleaning). oil ran down and seeped under the bezel on the bottom of the screen. It appears to have soaked/wicked into the diffuser i have a light colored splotch along the bottom of the screen that grew upwards over a day or two.

                          i have not disassembled yet but judging by the way it wicked up it looks like its been absorbed into the diffuser so i don't have a lot of hope of cleaning it.

                          i checked Samsung parts site but they don't...

                          Using car key fob as generic remote control
                          by Dannyx
                          Good day folks. It's been a while since I've DIY-d anything, so the other day I was thinking if it's possible to use the key fob of my car as a remote for other automation stuff. I have quite a few generic 433Mhz remotes and modules I picked up on Ali for various projects, but instead of having another remote dangling off the key chain, I thought I could use the car's own fob for more than unlocking my car when I'm near it. Say I come home and wish to switch on a light at my front door.

                          I already tried putting one of my generic receivers in pairing mode and hitting one of the 2...

                          CDS‑200B ultrasonic cleaner - (other generic Chinese cleaners are somewhat similar)

                          CDS‑200B ultrasonic cleaner - AKA James Ultra 7050 etc.

                          There are many versions of cheap Chinese ultrasonic cleaners, and a fair few share this design, with a removable tank with handle. There are also fixed tank versions which look to use the same basic layout and presumably the same PCBs.

                          I picked one up "spares or repair" on ebay, and the cleaner was dead, but the fuse wasn't blown.

                          A quick diode check revealed D7 was shorted. D7 is a 12V 1/2 Watt Zener. I had one in my stash, so this was about as close to a "five minute repair" as...
