    Toasted GA-8siml

    Hi all,

    I've recently aquired a large amount of BER computer equipment and while checking out what I had I came across this Gigabyte Mobo, I thought i'd share with u what can can happen if bad caps are left too long.

    these caps are labeled GSC.

    notice how badly the ICS clock chip took the worst damage.

              Sorry, but despite my apparant omnipotence, that is still beyond me.

              Those should be added to the "This is why you never ignore bad caps" thread...


              I still need to fix my desoldering station... want to recap my other 694d before it looks like that too.

                  That board has thoroughly had it.

                  I think there should be a huge lawsuit against all the badcaps companies, not ABIT like has been actually carried out.

                                  by karatzdi
                                  Hello,

                                  I know some might say... just buy another one. Sell it as parts..!

                                  So had this AMP for quite some time. Recently I saw light smoke coming out of the AMP. Had my fire extinguisher close by. Just kidding. Turned immediately all devices off from mains.
                                  Let things cool a bit, and opened up the amp device. I clearly saw on the main board which hosts the 5X amp (5.1), 3 10 ohms 1W resistors had their leads looking black, while the rest of the remaining 2 x 10 ohms were brownish as being installed from factory.

                                  Spent some time downloading the Service...

                                  Vizio M60-C3 Left Edge problem
                                  by Pinky Deepak
                                  I have a M60-C3 where the left edge has started showing issues as seen in the picture attached. Along with this, I also noticed some darkening on the left half of the screen which went away after I left the TV unplugged. i initially thought it was the led backlight that was wearing out but looks like something to do w the TCONN board. I searched this forum but couldn't find anyone else seeing this issue. most of them were LH/RH completely gone. any insights or guidance is appreciated.

                                  Here's a video of both the issues: https://youtu.be/hMqc760nB3o

                                  Panasonic Tx-40cx400b top left half screen not displaying correct

                                  Hi,

                                  Trying to work out if this is TFT problem or TCon issue.
                                  The TV powers up but the top half of the screen, from the right it is OK, but as you look across to the left halfway across it starts get duller and duller until it is very dark on the lefthand side, currently I trying to clean the remote as it seems to have something film wise on the pads stopping it from registering buttons pressed.

                                  Also when changing the screen size of Windows PC display to say to a smaller pixel sizewindow, the original window displayin the top left stays/takes a few seconds to disappear?...

                                  HH Scott Model A510 Stereo Integrated Amplifier/ Graphic EQ - Blowing fuses in the LEFT speaker channel only. Any Help???
                                  by Sik_6ty_Sixx
                                  So like the title says, I have an old Stereo Receiver/Amplifier that I picked up from the goodwill, it's a HH Scott Model A510. When I first got it home it had zero output. Opened it up, notice the fuses are missing. Pop in 2 new fuses (AGC4A 250V) and try again, within 5 seconds the L channel fuse POP! I don't see any visible indications of damage or arc burns on the PCB, no popped resistors or diodes, no burnt traces or blown out caps. So I decide to just try another new fuse, POP. Swapped around my R and L speaker wires, and checked the integrity of all wires and connections. Everything looks...

                                  Panasonic Plasma screen interference on left half of screen
                                  by Zelek11
                                  My Panasonic Plasma model P55VT50 has started displaying "interference" on just the left half of the screen only (left when facing the screen). Sometimes it's concentrated in about the first 30 seconds after startup, then disappears. Other times it's fine at startup and then randomly does it later on. When it flashes the interference it's very quick and doesn't stay on the screen unless it flashes repeatedly in a row.



                                  This image is a screen shot from a video I took. This is an example of the interference at its worst. Often the interference is much smaller...
