    Just resurrected a Gigabyte Advance 10T

    Thanx to your advice here i managed to resurrect a board (Gigabyte Advance 10T-socket 370) i bought in a flea market for one euro. Had three RAM caps fried and a couple more near the PSU socket, replaced them with my good old cheapo solder iron and it works fine. I had some spare p3/celeron chips lying around but no board for them, now i have another guinea pig for my network.....I'll post some photos soon, and will present a HOW-To on my tech blog, as soon as i find time to put the story together...

    Cheers guyz...

              Update :

              The board is a QDI Advance 10B, not a Gigabyte one, and here are some pics from the process…

              The Donor board is a Soyo Sy-6BA slot 1 with 4 IDE and 4 Mem slots, a true wonder of it's time.



              the red squared 1000 and 1500 μF Licon caps were bulged







              The whole deal took me an hour, i was tired but curious for the outcome. I took out the caps from the soyo board re-practicing my soldering skills, removed the blown ones and made the switch. (next thing is to buy a proper soldering station)




              As soon as i finished i booted with a p3 800, 128/133 Ram and a geforce 2. passed the POST with the help of a bios reset, and started booting Ubuntu 6.06.




              Now i need to find 5 more socket 370 boards….
