Foxconn Winfast (NF4UK8AA)
Ok so I decided I'd throw caution to the wind and bid on a used combo, Mobo, CPU, and 4 gigs of ram, knowing when I read the "No returns accepted" that I was taking a chance. But hey for $57. plus $5 for shipping, I figured that I'd do ok if only 1 of the 3 worked. Well the ram all checked out, 4 pieces of DDR 400
Corsair value select, and the Cpu, Athlon 64x2 3800g, was just fine also.
The motherboard on the other hand drove me nuts because It booted just fine but would not read any keyboard, no keyboard, no bios, no Os....Well like usual
I just had to try to figure out some way to either fix the problem or find a work around. after my first visual inspection, I was sure there were no bad caps that I could see, and I was getting ready to ask some people if they had any Ideas
I hadn't thought of. But right before i sat down to post, I decided to have one last look with my handy dandy, microscopic, head piece...lol. the board was pretty dirty close up so I decided to get out my small brushes and 98% alcohol and clean whatever my compressed air didnt. Well lo and behold in this tiny space between the Keyboard port and a serial jack, there sat a very minute cap that appeared to be boiled out on one end, the number 6 example in the pic below:
Well my Question now is, can this be fixed?
Thanks, Pesti
