    P4SD - case D6V

    Hi, (Im sorry I have nost posted pics I havent found my cams cable)

    this case is very weird.... I recapped it, after recapping I tested the mobo with just the minimum plugged (PSU Conector, CPU Power, and fan) and it gave me the POST,,, then i thought Ok ready to go, i mounted it as I had to and plugged the rest (usb, hdd, cd, etc...) and 4red flash... which means PSU failure... if you wonder i mounted being careful, heard no explotion whatsoever, used anti static wirststrp and wel, i really dont know what happened... and i dont think it was this type of incident whatever happened...

    I tested the original PSU on other mobo and it worked (didnt have POST but thats because of this second mobo, BUT it did not get alarmed) and then I tried other PSU on the original mobo and it gave the same error!... again, I went and tested this second PSU on my second mobo, and booted (no post, but no alarm)...

    my question is, what do you think it went wrong with the original mobo? at my first test with this mobo it booted, even POST....

    I have now an alarmed mobo, that sends the "wrong" (cause i think is wrong) message of PSU failure and that wont boot, but it did once right after I recapped.... i even waited for the memory checksum to finish and had the not system options message, everything....


    I changed the 820uf-4v for 1000uf-16v (they 4 i guess the vmr)
    and i changed some 1000uf-6.3v for (both) 1000uf-25v and for 1500uf-6.3v

    i really dont think is the caps cause it worked at first (but im No expert, please advise), i definetly dont think is the psu cause of all the testing about em, but howcome the mobo failed after it gave me post and everything?? do u think is the caps???

    Any idea is highly appreciated.

    Im screwed

    peace.

    EDIT: Very weird, all I did after i typed this was i unmounted the mobo as slightly as possible, mounted it back (cause this modos you kinda slide em before u take em out of the pc case) and it booted,,,, then I thought lets shake it and see, so i shook it (a little, really,not slamming, just little shake) and guess what, sent me the error again....

    i dont know whatever is happening or where to start looking at....

    Help please.

    Sounds like the motherboard is shorting on something (or maybe the case is flexing the motherboard somehow and that is causing it not to work).
    If the computer consistently works fine out of the case, but not in the case, then that's likely your problem.

    --------
    Now the other thing is, you said you replaced some 820uf, 4v caps with 1000uf, 16v ones. What were the brand and series of the 820uf, 4v caps? Reason I'm asking is because 4v caps are *usually* polymer and they might have been superior to the caps you replaced them with. With that said, what was the brand and series of replacement caps you used?

    Finally, did you check the PSU for bad caps? Just because it might work in another computer doesn't really rule it out as completely working. If not under warranty, check it. Post its brand and model here as well.

      Re: P4SD - case D6V

      Hello, thanks, yes ive been testing it on the case like "ready to go" and as of right now its been working ok, i have intentionally shook it little harder, thing is i dont want to release it for a quick return, you know... i think theres still something worng with it even thou it has not failed today -yet- im gonna put it under cpu exhaust tests and see what happens. btw, do you know of any good mobo-oriented testing software?

      i still cant explain the wrong error msg it was showing... im gonna have it testing during this morning and then i'll see.... i am sure the PSU is Ok, since it threw me the error with two working PSUs.... (that inmediatly worked fine on other mobo.)

      the brand of the 820uf/4v is: damn i cant see any clear brand on it, it has an "E" with a line on top of it (like an overlined E), i really need my cam working :S theyre yellow and seem to be like the rest.

      the brand of the 1000uf/16v is: Wendell

      I am no expert when it comes to caps details, brands, and related. if more info needed please advise i'll try to look it up as detailed as posible.

      brands and models is, for the mobo Asus P4SD (there are many asus p4sd but i still cant figure out which specific is) and for the PSU brand UR with the R backwards model pdp-124p (both known to fail by many reasons but yeah thats what i have to deal with everyday, FML) the whole pc is the hp d530 sff (shitty, dont ever buy)

      Thanks in advance.

      peace.

        What is the HP part number on the mobo? It's usually "HP xxxx-xxxx" on a sticker usually on the parallel printer header. For example I have a HP Pavilion a450n with a dead southbridge and its part number is HP 5187-4919 and it's actually an Asus P4SD-LA Rev 1.06-F04. I hope this helps.
        Stupidity should be a crime, especially for drivers. I have NO patience for them.

          Prime95 is what I think people use here. If not, maybe try OCCT.

          Sounds like you have Fujitsu polymer caps then (those yellow ones with the "E" you mentioned). At this point, I'd hold on to them. Perhaps someone with more knowledge can tell you if you should put them back on the motherboard. From what I gather here, though, they seem to be regarded as reliable.
          As far as Wendell goes, they might not be suitable to use on your motherboard (you'll need to check their series and post back here - it's usually a 2 or 3 -letter code). Furthermore, they are on the bad caps list so overall I wouldn't recommend using them (even if the motherboard ends up working). Also, try postign a full list of the caps that were originally on the motherboard (brand, series, uF, volts) so we can rule out any bad brands that might be left on there.
