    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….

          GIGABYTE GA-H110M-S2 - Stuck at Debug Code C2 - don't like Patriot Viper Steel RAM but works with G.SKILL
          by DynaxSC
          Hi,

          I discovered a strange behaviour of GIGABYTE GA-H110M-S2 board.

          General test conditions:
          - Tested with Core i5 6500 and Core I7 6700K - no difference
          - Default BIOS settings, but tried also altering several memory setting - does not change anything

          What is wrong:

          With BIOS F1 and F2 the board normally POST's and boots to Windows 11 with 2 x Patriot Viper Steel PVS416G440C9K RAM (4400MHZ, Samsung B-Die chips)

          When BIOS upgraded to anything above F2 (ie. F20-F27b) the board POST stucks after 3 Debug Codes on Code C2

          A Dead/DOA Gigabyte GP-P450b 450W ATX PSU
          by momaka
          More eBay specials: this time a Gigabyte GP-P450b 450W ATX PSU for $8 with free S&H. Listed “For part/not working”, as usual. Showed up in a beat up EVGA box without any padding… but that's understandable given the total price. PSU made it out fine without damage. It's a non-modular (yay!), pretty modern-day looking PSU with a black paint and all black cables (meh, not my favorite, but figure it's good to keep a few of these in case I do need one for a more modern PC build, just so my old gray boxes don't look too odd in there.)
