    Epox RMA experience

    Hello,
    I have a 8RDA+ with bad caps and Epox offered a RMA.
    Question, what will I get back from them? Do they give me a new board or do they actually replace the caps? If they replace caps, will they give me good ones or the same crappy ones?

    I would like to hear from people who went through the RMA recently.

    Thanks a lot,

      You won't get your same board back. If their RMA is anything like Abit or MSI, it will come back with the same shoddy brands.

          If they give replacement boards with the poor quality capacitors, don't buy from them!
          My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

              i guess you are the official guinea pig.
              please report back when (if) you get the board back.

                  Gigabytes come back reworked with Rubicons.

                  Guess it depends upon the integrity of the manufacturer.

                      Well, here is update.
                      The board I received was not the same as I sent in. Caps replaced with SANYO and TEAPOS. So far board is working good. The board I got back was not a new 8RDA+ but used one.

                      BTW, I posted an ad for caps for sale but it got deleted? Any ideas? I have a set of caps for 8RDA+ that I can sell pretty cheap to someone who cannot do the RMA thing. To tell you the truth, if I were to do it again, I would try to recap since at least I would have done the job right with ALL quality caps. I may redo the TEAPOS actually.

                          Epox EP 85 MVP3C-M - 3.54v Vcore regardless of jumpers
                          by kotel studios
                          Hi,

                          Recently I got an Epox EP-85 MVP3C-M board from scrap. After fixing the broken caps I powered it on without CPU and the jumpers set to 60Mhz FSB and 2x multiplier.
                          Sadly, Vcc3 was stuck at 3.54v regardless of jumpers. Vcc2 (Vi/o I think) was also the same voltage.
                          So, I've returned to the original configuration I got the board in - 100Mhz FSB and 4x multiplier. Voltages haven't changed at all.
                          What I've tried so far:
                          replace the original N-MOSFETs with beefier 60V ones for testing
                          Resolder the resistors near the Vcore Jumper block
                          Short Vcore...

                          hey Im very new to repairing electronics with capacitors as well as using a multimeter so I need so help/guidance fixing this issue

                          recently I was handed a family members old NAD C320BEE that they had in their loft for storage for a few years but when powered on it went into power safety mode due to a problem on the protection circuit somewhere before it went into storage I was told it worked fine I found lots of people online talking about how the capasitors are known to be pretty bad in this model and can cause this issue the only problem being I don't have much experience sorting...

                          by Rhaverz
                          Good afternoon friends, I have the same problem, the equipment turns on, when I connect it to the equipment and without connecting it to the HDMI or Display port with the integrated graphics of my equipment, the graphics can be displayed in the device manager with an error 43 but even if I try to update it "manually" it manages to remove the notice but it still doesn't work.

                          If I connect the graphic with the HDMI or Display port, the equipment turns on but it makes a long and 3 short beeps and does not give video

                          I thought that the BFDJ USB-C or MP8858GQ...

                          Anyone have experience with an RC driven temporary "ON" transistor switch?
                          by EasyG0ing1
                          Hello,

                          The idea is to use a transistor to activate a latching relay once a voltage is applied but to prevent a constant voltage from being applied to the relay coil, I thought it might be a good idea if it were possible to make sure that the voltage applied to the coil is temporary even though the source voltage could be "ON" for long periods of time.

                          This is the circuit that I came up with. I have not tested it yet because I don't have the relay yet, though I am looking for anyone who might have experience with this kind of a setup to hopefully offer some advice,...

                          Disclaimer Firstly I am by no means expert and this is still a learning experience , I buy broken stuff , with the intention to fix or learn something by failing.. I wanna break this into a few sections, please feel free to mention the section if replying , to assist me on getting a better understanding
