    What's the newest failed OST you've seen?

    Or, more to the point, what is the newest piece of hardware you've seen that has failed OST's on it, and in what positions were they?

    For me, that would be a Biostar motherboard I recapped that had to be at least 6 years old, in which the only failed ones were on the VRM output. Other than that, I really don't run across OST too much.

          So they finally moved away from Teapo's... to OST! LOL.

          Keep doing what you're doing Dell; you're keeping me in business!

              An Albatron KX400-8XV Pro (KT400) motherboard. The OST's were bulged, and if I remember correctly they were at Vcore. There were also other blown caps scattered around the board, but I think those were a different brand. I actually took pictures of this recap but I never posted and I think they've been deleted. Sorry.
              I don't know the board's history, but I found it connected to a cheap power supply. So to be fair that could have made it worse.

                  Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th gen not booting after failed BIOS update
                  by Zarithya
                  Hi all,
                  I have a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th gen that stopped booting after a failed BIOS update. There is no life from the machine when the power button is pressed, but when the charger is plugged in, the amber charging indicator turns on and the power button blinks three times. The battery does charge, eventually turning the amber light white. I've dumped the BIOS and tried to fix it (but I don't know what I'm doing or how to use Lenovo's update files in this way) and even attempted to overwrite it with other uploads I've found here to no avail. I've posted the dump in the request forum and...

                  HDD in external enclosure failed, may I use external enclosure with other HDD?
                  by paparazzo79
                  Hello.
                  I own Seagate Expansion drive which for me unknown reason has failed yesterday.When connecting to PC I am getting access denied message and whole partition in Disk Managment is in RAW format.
                  So I dismantled the case thinking I may use the inside HDD as internal sata device in a computer but even like that I am getting access denied message.
                  The drive is Sagate Exos.
                  My question is may I use the enclosure with other internal drives (I own 3 internal 3.5 inch WD drives with 13TB capacity)?
                  I mean maybe that is even not advisable since electronic card (from pic...

                  KZG caps failed on a NOS motherboard - never been used...
                  by Lostdotfish
                  This is a new one on me. I picked up a new old stock DFI 865PE Infinity board recently. It's completely new, never used. While inspecting it I noticed some unexpected bulging caps...

                  All of the 6.3v 1500uf caps had failed in place, despite the board never seeing use and being stored sensibly. I pulled the 16v caps that are the same series as a precaution and will replace them all.

                  Dear members,
                  I have a problem with this machine that still I can't solve, I hope some of you can suggest me something.
                  I was the first one to open the machine and touch the mainboard, in fact the Lenovo seal was intact the first time that I unscrewed all the internal screws.
                  The ower told me that it was working very good until Windows kicked "something like a firmware update" (owner's words) then the system started acting weird.
                  When you try to start it, some seconds after having pressed the power button, Lenovo splashscreen appears, then after 1 second, in the...
