    ABIT VP6 Doesn't register RAM correctly? After cap repair..

    I have two sticks of 256mb PC-150, one from MCI/MDT and the other from Corsair.

    The system only registers 384MB's upon system boot. That and the system reports 128mb sticks installed in banks 0/1/3.

    I already replaced the capacitors with high quality Panasonic caps.. So that isn't the issue.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for any help..

      look for solder shorts esp near dimm slots.
      look for damaged traces too.esp anywhere you were working

          ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING - M.2_2 port not working correctly with SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD
          by DynaxSC
          Hi,

          I have an really very weired issue with ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING.

          Some NVME (PCIe) SSD's are not working correctly in the second M.2 socket. An example of it is the SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD.
          Some other NVME (I have only smaller ones) disk do work without any problem, also SAMSUNG disks, eg an MZVPV128HDGM-0000.

          The behaviour is also really very strange, i.e.:
          • The disk shows always up in BIOS - so it is recognized, so far so good
          • POST-ing with this disk with fresh Windows 24H2 installation (done in the M.2_1 socket) in the M.2_2 socket
          ...

          Xbox One Controller - Phantom stick activity (sticks completely uninstalled)
          by Aimbit
          Hi All,

          I bought some used Xbox one controllers "as is/untested" and they both have the same issue. The joysticks go wild for no reason while plugged in.

          https://youtube.com/shorts/YTYtjUPkBX0?feature=share

          I removed both joysticks assuming it was an issue with the sticks, but the video posted here is the activity of the sticks with no sticks installed! My only guess is one of the tiny IC's that reads the inputs is broken. There are two small ones near either joystick, and then one larger one. I found a replacement on Aliexpress for the larger one...

          Siemens Washing Machine WM12T581TR/67 Touch Panel not working correctly
          by alpersen
          On the right bottom side it has a start/stop button (normally it is illuminated, when I took the picture it was blinking I took at the wrong time ). and the touch area there is not working, maybe if I am able to touch the most right bottom in a maybe 1 square millimeter area it works. also generally if I touch the normal place where the start stop icon is, the weight + and - areas register so there is a touch calibration problem in that area. All icons maybe 60% of the left side register correctly in their respective size. Siemens service recommends replacing the control pcb and screen (nearly...

          Abit BE6-II motherboard
          by ziplock
          Greetings,

          I have an Abit BE6-II motherboard that posts sporadically with the bare minimum components installed - CPU, RAM, PSU, and a Keyboard. I know it posts when the speaker beeps. Re-seating the components has no effect.

          I thought the sporadic posting might be capacitor related. Upon inspection, non of the caps are bulged or leaking and they are all original. So, I pulled them ALL. While the ESR is OK, over half of them are leaking current between 1 and 2 mA. The biggest offenders are way out of spec, like a 1500uf / 6.3V measuring 2600uF and many of the 820uF caps...

          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)

          Soltek Golden ::
          4 1500µF 16V 10mm (5mmL) KZG => APSG160ELL152MJ16S (Chemi-Con 1500µF 16V)
          6 3300µF 6.3V 10mm (5mmL) KZG => APSG160ELL272MJ20S (Chemi-Con 2700µF 16V)...
