    HP 6730b - Southbridge with a hole in it!

    Probably the first time i've seen anything like this on an Intel SB. Funny thing is that it isn't a dead short, it's around 2.5 ohms, and the power supply runs. 3.3v and 5v are present and have correct values, the other side of the board looks fine, and the only thing getting hot is the blown SB.

    I think it's worth attempting to replace it, i have a few of them lying around. Obviously, since they pretty much never die. Except for this one. I'm waiting for the OK from the owner regarding the price as he had someone else bring it in, then i'll be back with updates.

    A working TV? How boring!

      Wow. I think I've only ever seen a cooked Intel SB on a desktop when the PSU (an Antec SP-350) failed and the 5vsb rail turned into the 12vsb rail.
      I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

      No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

                  Aluminum SMD caps vs thru hole caps (reliability)

                  The PCB motor for 1987 Technics SLP-120 CD player has slow spin-up issues. Similar to what another tech in the below video reported.

                  How to correctly desolder through hole IC?
                  by LearningToRepair
                  Hi!

                  I tried to desolder through I had IC that I wanted to replace but failed. And now I came here to learn what's the correct way for doing this. I tried to use soldering wick but the capillary force kept solder in the hole. With soldering wick I only managed to remove the part of solder that was outside the hole. But the solder that was inside the hole never got out. And of course when I moved on to next pin the solder in previous hole hardened again so no matter how many times I did all the pins there was still solder in holes.

                  Question 1: what would have been correct...

                  i recapped the entire foxlink psu with rubycon caps of the exact uf needed. i also purchased a delta psu to see if the different brand would change anything and it did not. i recapped the entire motherboard except for about 5 of the 22uf caps. i used rubycon on everything except the five in front of the processors. i used 5 nichicon polymer caps there. i soldered a wire to each screw hole of the psu and soldered one wire to the metal outer shell and one to a screw hole on the motherboard(to make sure it was all grounded well). i also recently tried disconnecting the power cables from the dvd drive...

                  Hardware firewall to block ad servers?
                  by Hondaman
                  I found an interesting summary on a wiki that Youtube "right to repair" enthusiast Louis Rossman put up. He suggested I could use a hardware firewall and pfSense as a firewall, and use pfSenseNG as an ad blocker. Or use OPNSense as a similar alternative. Seems like it would be easy to set up, but it only runs on the hardware supported by BSD. (I'm sure the developers and maintainers of BSD are super-busy and cannot support every single piece of hardware out there, so I can't fault them.)

                  The trick, apparently, is to "assign IP address lists from sites like I-blocklist...

                  Samsung UN65TU8000 - Panel Issue [ hole in ribbon cable ]
                  by NWArkGuy
                  Well, I will be the first to admit that I screwed up...

                  In attempting to replace the backlight in a UN65TU8000, I made a hole through one of the ribbon cables between the board that runs along the bottom of the back of the TV and the panel. This lead to a between a 1/4 to 1/2 inch vertical stripe running the full height of the image.

                  I don't have the experience; personally, to solder a bridging wire for the paths that were cut. So, I have been on the hunt for other Samsung TV's of similar size.

                  I have 2 that I have found and have in my possession. ...
