I was at Frys today, and checked out this board they have as a bundle special.
The VRM is entirely JPCON caps, TK series. Field caps are OST RLS series.

Re: ECS A770M-A Board at Frys
The sad part is, ECS is a major builder. The continued use of poor quality caps is quietly reinforcing the argument to buy Intel boards.Comment

Re: ECS A770M-A Board at Frys
ECS is a major builder, but they stuff their boards with shit... now if I wanted them to build boards for me, I'd send them a BOM spec'n better caps and that's how they would build it... That's pretty much how the industry is.Ya'll think us folk from the country's real funny-like, dontcha?

Re: ECS A770M-A Board at Frys
I notice that Intel uses Foxconn for a number of the boards, along with ECS and others.
I've seen a few Foxconn Intel boards, and they don't seem to be populated with pure junk. Most of the caps are middle of the road, and polymers around the VRM.
The Fry's boards just abound with bad caps. I'm so glad Frys leaves sample boards out on display so one can scope out the caps before buying.Comment

Re: ECS A770M-A Board at Frys
Actually the TK series caps are from a Japanese Cap maker Toshin not JPCON. I have 2 ecs boards and with TK series, Sanyo and OST every where else. Not too bad. But the most recent boards with the polymers have Elite, G-luxon, OST and Evercon. Yes EVERCON!Comment

Re: ECS A770M-A Board at Frys
My old ECS RS482-M754 is still going strong, has OST caps around the VRM, and GTK or something like that everywhere else. Sometimes...SOMETIMES bad caps can be somewhat reliable.

Re: ECS A770M-A Board at Frys
The sales guy at Fry's told me they no longer carry ECS boards, because they are such junk.
I was there for a replacement for a dead 865G-M v2.3 ECS board, and all they had was an MSI board. It was populate with those TK caps, so I took off running for the exit.Comment

Re: ECS A770M-A Board at Frys
They still have plenty of them in stock at their Phoenix store, and just last week Fry's was advertising a cheap CPU & ECS mobo combo.Originally posted by bgavinComment

Re: ECS A770M-A Board at Frys
Yes, TK stands for Toshin Kogyo it's the brand not the series. It's a good capacitor brand.Originally posted by Rob

It has Elite solid polymers on the Vcore output.
So caps are Toshin Kogyo, Elite and OST.Comment

Re: ECS A770M-A Board at Frys
Fry's does not carry the boards I typically require. It is still good to look over what they have in stock to see how they are constructed. I usually get new replacements from eBay sellers.
I installed an IP35 Pro (abit) into my new workstation and am not disappointed at all. The Everest performance shows the board at the extreme upper edge of its class. The AT12V in the very Northwest corner is a real bugger when used with a P182 Antec case.
Before they were cleared out, the ECS boards are entirely populated with junk caps, even though using Intel chipsets. I've had two machines come in with dead ECS boards, and replaced them with MSI. The chipset was the same, so no OS rebuild was required.Comment

Frys doesn't care if they sell junk.
They don't sell ECS anymore because:

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.
Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.
I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.
The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.
With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic... -
All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)- TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
- Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

Hi There,
This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.
After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.

Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.
Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
CN6401
Pin 01 NC
Pin 02 NC
Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
Pin 04 "N/C"
Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
Pin 06 "GND": N/C
Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...
