Re: MSI K7T Master
That looks like it. Just be sure that the model number is correct......there are several different versions of the K7T. Mine is the K7T Pro MS6330. Yours is different.
Look around a little more on ebay. Some of those bios chips sell for about $5. The chip is just a programmable eprom. Then the programmer puts the bios program in it for the particular mother board you have. If you can find a cheaper bios chip, ask the seller if he can program it for your mother board.Old proverb say.........If you shoot at nothing, you will hit nothing (George Henry 10-14-11)Comment

Re: MSI K7T Master
Sounds like you got it with unknown history - has it ever worked properly, or had D-LEDs blink red & green during boot, while in your possession ?
If you don't know that it works, you're likely to be throwing more good money after bad
One possibility is a previous owner flashing it with the wrong BIOS - easy to do with an MSI board, with their mixed model names
If that's the case, unless you get a replacement BIOS chip loaded with the correct firmware, you're going to be no better off
Don't expect the BIOS replacement chip vendor to magically know exactly which board you have
Everell's already said his board is a MS-6330 - if you've quoted the model name accurately, I guess your board is a MS-6347
All the MSI boards I've seen have a part number printed along the edge of the board, behind the keyboard/mouse connector block
That part number indicates model & version numbers - for example, my K7N420pro, also called MS-6373, has 1637310A printed along its edgebetter to keep quiet and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubtComment

Re: MSI K7T Master
I have been reading and everything and thought about maybe trying to hotflash the bios to see if that would fix it, but what other motherboard could I use to do this I have a k7s5a and a few others that might work but im not sure just need a little more infoComment

Re: MSI K7T Master
Might work with a board having a non-Intel chipset, and a PLCC BIOS chip
PLCC = a small chip, about half-inch square
Boards with Intel chipset probably have PLCC FWH BIOS chip, which are incompatible with PLCC JEDEC BIOS chip used by K7Tbetter to keep quiet and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubtComment

Re: MSI K7T Master
As I said, if they are similar vintage
If below is KT748 you tried, that's a much later model, and may well be incompatible
Tip: Look at its specifications first, if it says something about LPC bus, or LPC anything for that matter, most likely incompatible
Also, which flashing software are you using ? - if trying to cross-flash a BIOS on other than its original board, best bet is probably UNIFLASH, run in pure DOS environment, using command line switch -EXPERT, and choosing option Flash Including Boot Block from its menu
And why break a late model board, trying to rescue an early model one ???

I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

Hello,
First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.
I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.
I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

Hello!
I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.
The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.
I have studied the board and... -
I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,... -
Good evening
I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?
But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
