    Harddrive motherboard

    Hello guys

    I have a quick question, I have the harddrive that is spinning but doesn't detect on any machine , it spins very we but not showing even on disk management.
    It a western digital, so I suspect the board or maybe corrupted bios or faulty chip
    , can I use another same identical drive and see if it will work?

      Asus ROG Strix Scar G533qm with a G733qm Motherboard, can I modify the Bios to accept G533 Bios
      by glovecaps
      Hello,

      I have a Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 (G533QM) that had a dead motherboard (Graphics card dead) and after trying to fix the motherboard with no success, I bit the bullet on a sale for a new motherboard. I ordered a motherboard for the 15 inch model which is the one that I have, and when the motherboard arrived it wasn't for a little while that I saw it was from the 17 inch model.

      My question is, can I update the Bios on this G733 motherboard to a G533 Bios.

      The reason for wanting to do this is that the keyboard isn't working as it should, and I think this...

      Legion Y540 17irh motherboard issue ( need help to know how to diagnose my motherboard)
      by Docus
      Hi everyone ๐Ÿ˜€,

      I'm here today to ask for help with repairing the motherboard of a Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH.

      To give you some context, I'm passionate about computer repair so much so that I've invested in a lot of tools and started practicing on dead and old hardware. I've been learning how to solder and desolder components, mostly focusing on phone repairs.

      Recently, I bought a broken Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH for just โ‚ฌ150, and there are two main reasons why I made this purchase:
      1. I already own the exact same model, but its plastic chassis is badly damaged.

      ASUS P5GC-MX motherboard recap
      by momaka
      Hereโ€™s another motherboard that needed a full recap: an ASUS P5GC-MX.
      This one was gifted to me some years ago by user Pentium 4, along with a few other goodies. It actually came in working order with no bulging or leaking caps. However, I noted there were United Chemicon KZG caps everywhere on the motherboard. The CPU VRM output (CPU V_core) was the only exception: it had only 2x KZG. The rest was 6x UCC TMV 4V 680 uF capsโ€ฆ which arenโ€™t any good news either.

      So here is what the motherboard looked like with its original caps:


      CPU VRM area up closeโ€ฆ...

      After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
      by dragon3x
      Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
      power on.

      Here are some examples :

      (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
      switching supply area).
      (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
      than 6.3 V.)

      1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
      I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
      3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...

      Asus VivoBook F510UA-AH51 won't run on battery after motherboard replacement
      by dhenion
      I'm working on my sister's laptop: Asus VivoBook F510UA-AH51 - The motherboard died so I replaced it.

      The original board was:
      ASUS X510UNR REV 3.0 A

      The replacement board is:
      ASUS X510UNR REV 3.0 B (identical except B vs A - I couldn't find an A board anywhere. Visually they are identical.)

      It boots right up on the replaced motherboard and everything works fine on the new motherboard - but it won't run off battery. When I disconnect the charger it immediately dies. When I plug it back in and reboot the system - it still shows the battery at...
