Re: MSI CR400 no display
What voltage of tantalum did you use sir? 2.5v? Did you removed the NEC/Tokin type capacitor and then put the smd capacitors on the terminal both ways with proper orientation? If all are correct then it is possible that reflowing the gpu might caused the damaged? I just hope i'm wrong with this one.
For me, it works with all the MSI CR400 with Nvidia I had repaired before, and today another one of MSI EX460 with ATI with power led lit up, sleep led also lit up and hdd led is lit up and no display. But I did first the basic procedures, clean the memory module, replaced with good one to isolate. then, removed the cmos battery to reset the board settings, also removed keyboard,odd and hdd to be sure if something is wrong or triggering the no display problem and with only the board, processor and memory still to no avail. Also did replaced the processor and yet no luck.
That's the time i added two 330uf tantalum first besides the vacant capacitor terminal at the processor and voila it works for me again.Comment

thanks for the reply. i used 4 tantalum capacitors without removing the proadlizer capacitor. just tapped on the proadlizer pads.
i just did a mild reflow on the gpu which i think not destructive.
i used tantalum capacitors taken from defective motherboards.
will try again tonight.
thanks

Re: MSI CR400 no display
Rainbow done something like it and it worked for him, see here at this link

if that is the case then, the proadlizer might be good and not defective.
maybe the gpu is really shorted.

Re: MSI CR400 no display
I think your problem is the same with toshiba satellite L300 series,if you are familiar with this one and if not you can search it here. The NEC/TOKIN is the culprit, it is the same with the one on top of the cpu (encircle in red) see attachment. Try to replace it with smd capacitor 4 X 330 uf 2.5v.
I've already tried and repaired 5 more of this model and and voila it works for
me. Before I also thought it was the Nvidia gpu was the problem, tried reflow and yet no luck then i suddenly realize the capacitor is the same with NEC/TOKIN from Satellite L300.
Hope this works for you.Good luck and let me know what happened.
Ken,
your a pro bro. it worked when i put 3 caps with marking NEa JE8 capacitors. too bad that the processor overheats and turn off after a few minutes.(overheat protection) i guess the capacitors value does not fit with the solution.
i am ordering 4 330uf 2.5v tantalum capacitors later. will update you soon.
thanks and regardsLast edited by fddizon; 01-19-2013, 07:44 PM.Comment

Re: MSI CR400 no display
fddizon,
Hi any update regarding this kind of problem?.. I have the same problem on my cr400. did you tried 4 330UF 2.5V tantalum capacitor. Did it fixed the problem?? thanks!Comment

Re: MSI CR400 no display
not tried with 330uf yet.
but im sure it will go good with it.
i used lower capacitance and display showed, meaning it will work as ken assured. mine turns off after a while, because i used different capacitors unlike suggested.
regards.
give it a go bro...Last edited by fddizon; 02-12-2013, 07:41 AM.Comment

Re: MSI CR400 no display
Tried and tested and so far for me it works without any conflict with the performance of the laptop. It is just the same with Toshiba Satellite issues with Nec/Tokin cap.
Give it try first and hoping and looking for you to fix it as i did.
good luck thenComment

Re: MSI CR400 no display
Im having problem finding the 330uf 2.5v tantalum capacitor at manila Philippines. Do you know where i can find it here?
Thanks
