    Ecs Amd690gm-m2 / Biostar A74og M2+

    Hello, first time poster here to this nice forum. Sorry for the list of questions in one post I am about to post.

    I have two ECS AMD690gm-m2 motherboards that I suspect have bad caps on them from first glimpse and they will not post, only the fans spin.

    The second cap from where it is stamped ATA133 (in front of the 24pin atx) is bulging and it is the only cap that is bulging. These caps are OST O739 RLS 6.3V 1000UF. Link to motherboard photo below for reference.

    http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Pro...ID=789&LanID=0

    Can I replace just that one cap or do I need to replace more of them and which ones if it is more? I have a handful of rubycon 10v 1500uf mcz caps handy? If it is just one cap I have to replace, could I use these caps?

    Another board, another problem.

    I have a biostar A74OG M2+ board that was zapped by lightning. The onboard nic looks like a modem looks like after it is popped by lightning (chunk taken out of it). The motherboard will not post because of this I am guessing? If someone thinks it could be a cap or soemthign else, let me know. If it is the nic, is there a way to fix this to use the board still without replacing the onboard chip or is this board pretty much toast?

    A little info about the equipment I have. If this is not good enough, please let me know. Soldering is new to me, but I can do it and have done it on a few things.

    Weller Wes51 Station (50 watt)
    Bernz0Matic Electrical 60/40 Rosin core leaded solder (bought from Home Depot)
    Super Solder Tin/Lead 60 (borowed from school)

    Sorry for all the questions on one post.

    second is toast - use it for spares.

    first, you *may* be able to replace 1 cap, but the others wont last - better to change all in one go.
    saves stripping the pc again.

    others will have to say if the mcz will do the job.

      i have got a bunch of boards running which were hit through the lan by simply removing the chip.if it then posts and passes tests add a nic to it.
      and replace all the caps on that ecs.
      even the tiny 220@16's.

        interesting, the nic can be romoved by cutting all the legs with a sharp knife.
        (not that i would, i own an air-station. )

          I just bought some ChipQuik to try and swap an RTL8201BL out, I hope it works.

            Thanks for the information. I will give the chip removal a go and see what happens. I will also try swapping out one cap and see if it fixes the board and how long the board will last.

              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...

              Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
              by Tynan Dill
              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.

              Assuming...

              LG OLED77G1PUA - No Video / Audio after a TCON Board change and Software Update
              by Hakuu
              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.

              More Details

              TV Model - LG OLED77G1PUA

              Got the same exact TCON board from TVPartsToday and replaced it. But didnt transfer the EPPROM data (didnt...

              Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
              by jb_Bak
              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"...

              Panasonic TC-P54VT25 No image. A or D board?
              by canadaboy25
              I have a Panasonic TC-P54VT25 that will power on and prime the display but there is no image at all.

              The panel is primed as there is a slight glow from the entire panel. This means the problem should be logic related. The service manual also confirms this and recommends replacing the A or the D board.

              I have tried to get the TV to display the test sequence but I have been unable to and I don't even know if this TV has a test sequence or not. I tried following tom66's instructions in post #3 on this thread https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26790. There was...
