Sounds like the TV version of an RROD. Unfortunately, you will have a replace one or more components, most likely. -
Or at or around 180 LEDs in series, for at or around 600V?...Leave a comment:

Is that really 300 LEDs or nearly 300 LEDs in-series?!Leave a comment:

Not the caps that I were talking about. It's when you see caps that are tiny blue ones, next to a printed triangle with an exclamation point. Those are possibly 1 kV+ caps!
The ones that clearly failed, are the usual 450V type of switching PSUs....Last edited by RJARRRPCGP; 07-25-2024, 07:49 PM.Leave a comment:

That would look like the early-LED era, (2012) but I see blue caps that I suspect are high-voltage inverter caps, which are found with CCFL LCDs! SMH! (the little blue circular caps)Last edited by RJARRRPCGP; 07-25-2024, 07:39 PM.Leave a comment:

That's like Apple II....Leave a comment:

Reminds me of my Asus P6Ts, where the BIOS acts wacko, if I install my XFX Radeon RX 580. What happens, is that the BIOS menus lag, and the BIOS settings are only saved to RAM, LOL. So it looks like GTX 980 series (Nvidia) for the latest and Radeon R9 series (AMD) at the latest, I suspect....Leave a comment:

Post testing, as I'm having unexpected restrictions! (Issues with board software) (Firefox 127.0.2)Leave a comment:

Possibly early-covid-pandemic-related QC slump! It's in the period where there's possibly an above-normal panel failure rate. Early-covid-pandemic, is suspected of being the worst for bad panels! Same for other components, where I suspect being indirectly related to early-pandemic, due to factories of supply-chain being disrupted....Last edited by RJARRRPCGP; 01-15-2024, 06:04 PM.Leave a comment:

Could very well be a variation of "bad socket syndrome".Leave a comment:

Re: PCs aren't extinct! (version 2.0)
Well, even in summer of '21, I doubt it was even as reasonable as March of '22!
Even in late-March of '22, the prices were still higher than I liked!
That's when I got my Radeon RX 6600 XT and in July, 2022, my Radeon RX 6750 XT honker!...Leave a comment:

1994 is indeed the "FDIV"-Pentium-bug-era!...Leave a comment:

Re: LG TV recall re. bad X-class capacitors
IIRC, saw them in videos. They are common in Apple IIs! (and Apple IIIs most likely)...Leave a comment:

Re: LG TV recall re. bad X-class capacitors
21 years ago, that sure didn't help with my Deer DR-250-ATX!
A thunderstorm also killed the Crotched Mountain campus internet in July, 2001. The internet was down for easily roughly 1 week to possibly 2 weeks!
That was on top of random power outages due to the at least one of the campus generators, along with PSNH (Public Service of New Hampshire) at that time.
But most of the power troubles that were campus-generator-related, was mostly 2000 and maybe 2001, IIRC.

Re: Core 2 "gaming" build with SLI
Until I got rid of the MSI 845E Max, which honestly looked like a solid motherboard, which I was regularly using in 2007, the Northwood 2.4 @ 2.7 GHz was stable, as long as the air was really chilled! If not, if you had Windows 98 SE with Prime95 going, Prime95 would fail with an error box from Windows 98 SE, blaming Prime95.exe and a cascade of error boxes, was common, especially when 45+F outside and the sun shining.
(not a typo, I would definitely get an error at only 45 Fahrenheit for the outdoor temp, when cooling...Last edited by RJARRRPCGP; 06-05-2023, 08:57 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Core 2 "gaming" build with SLI
At least it does better than my Q6600 that I have! My used Q6600 from early '08 is the meme of "Bus/Interconnect Error" "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" BSOD, which it gets stable for the most part, but only with very chilled air blowing on it, if I increase the FSB termination voltage to 1.35V, IIRC. Linpack is normally only good for core testing, so I didn't notice this until I ran Prime95 in blend mode.
It of course, also needed at least 1.39V for Vcore at only 3303 MHz. That's only 367 MHz FSB! ...Last edited by RJARRRPCGP; 05-24-2023, 03:58 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC wont post no debug lights
The B450-era motherboards seem prone to failure. In my case, what looks like bad MOSFETs.Last edited by RJARRRPCGP; 05-19-2023, 07:35 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Question: Did the Pentiums still had the "FDIV" bug? I thought that I got words that 120s and higher were OK, but don't know now. Looks like one that possibly squeaked by the "FDIV" bug. I know that 1996 and later chips are supposed to be fixed already.
Looks like the 1994 Pentiums definitely have the "FDIV" bug and not sure about the 1995 Pentiums. Looks like there were bad (with "FDIV" bug) Pentiums in 1995 and possibly fixed ones in 1995.
I bet there were both bad and good...Last edited by RJARRRPCGP; 05-17-2023, 08:46 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
1995 for BIOS year=Pentium IIs didn't even exist in 1995 and it was when Pentium 100s were the buzz, LOL.
