    Zotac ZBOX-ID41 Stuck in boot loop

    Hello guys!

    I got a Zotac ZBOX-ID41 (P/N: 240FA169103ZT) that refuses to POST and keeps rebooting.

    Here is what I tried already:

    - Reseting the bios (both by removing CMOS battery temporarily and using the jumper headers in every possible combination)
    - Flashing bios from manufacturer (From here: http://old.zotac.com/en/products/min...downloads.html)
    - Replacing CMOS battery
    - Using RAM in other slot
    - Using different (known working) RAM
    - Not using any RAM (when doing this, it beeps, so it gets to a certain point in the POST)

    I measured the following voltages on all inductors while running:




    To me everything seems to be OK, but the machine keeps restarting every ~5 seconds with no error beep codes and nothing displayed on screen. When connecting a keyboard hitting the caps lock button does not register (so no POST).

    Do you guys have any ide what might be the problem here?
    Thanks in advance!

    nVidia isn't usually the best at doing chipsets. (as in MCP/PCHs)

      Thank you for your suggestion. I tried reflowing the chip with 260 celsius on the heatgun for ~2 minutes but it still does the same. I think its time to consider this board dead.

        Samsung un82ru88000f - Boot loop sort of but can correct with taping of LVDS ribbon
        by NolesFan
        Hello all... TV started boot looping. Opened the back panel and tried to isolate the problem. Just PSB no boot loop. PSB and MB no boot loop. Plug in the LVDS from panel to MB and boot looping starts up. It doesnt matter of order that I plug the LVDS ribbons back in, only 1 and no boot loop but as soon as 2nd one plugs in boot looping. I then noticed a flicker on the screen when I was closing the clip on the harness to the LVDS. Shut the lights off so I can see better, and I noticed as i slowly close it, I will get a picture, but as soon as it clips in, I lose picture and booting happens. So I...

        Yet another Samsung QLED Boot Loop
        by Takeatry
        Samsung QLED QN50Q — purchased 2022 started experiencing a delay in the picture coming on in the morning less than 2 years later. Did not know the term boot loop at that time. As the loop delay ran into a few minutes did all the recommended troubleshooting, soft and hard reset, changing cables and outlet locations, no help. As the delay increased contacted Samsung tech group and allow them remote access the tv. Tech was moving too fast to see exactly what he was doing but this ultimately it was also no help. Lived with the delay until it stretched out over 6 hours. Pulled of off the back cover...

        Hisense 60R6E - No backlight - stuck in boot loop
        by Mschrenkz@gmail.com
        I joined hoping I'll be able to verify which component I need to replace on my Hisense 60R6E. When I plug it in the red light comes on and stays on for several seconds then blinks off and then on again. There is no back light but I can see the logo screen "Hisense Roku" (using the flashlight method) come on while the red light is off. Then it dissapears and the red light is constant again. This cycle keeps repeating. I tried pressing the reset button and it has absolutely no impact. Even held it in for 30 seconds also tried holding the power button in with the TV unplugged - nothing...

        Samsung UE49MU6105K - boot loop, horizontal lines
        by blaster_
        Less than a year out of warranty, samsung UE49MU6105K craps out, they've got this designed obsolescence down to an exact science of self destruct when out of warranty...

        Screen started to show horizontal lines and ghosted image at the bottom, then turned off by itself. Did software update, to no avail of the line problem, and got a boot loop after some minutes of watching TV. This boot loop will turn on the backlights for some seconds the sound comes on, the image will turn dark very fast and then it reboots again. Pressing power button will not put it on standby. Disconnecting...
