Re: Re-Cap and No Post

Oh well... board, CPUs and HeatSinks going up for sale... I got a new board, CPU, and ram...

Re: Re-Cap and No Post

I've got 4 power supplies, tested all on other boards... PS is ok...

Re: Re-Cap and No Post

I de-soldered every cap, and re-soldered them all, they are all shiney and look perfect now. I ran through with Ohm meter again, and all check out. With power supply on, I still get nothing. With power supply on I flipped the board over, and wanted to test the 5v from supply to see if it was going to any caps with board off. None of the caps have power. Is this normal?

As for the terminals for the power switch, both are a ground... Neither have a 5v to them...

I then tested the green wire from PS (PS says this is the "PS-ON"...

Re: Re-Cap and No Post

Right now there is no board trace damage. I tested the 5v and they were not active. Both acted as a ground... I had my father-in-law look over it, he did soldering boards for a job once. He said there were a few bad joints, and he suggested just to re-do them all just to be sure. I'm going to do that tomorrow night. I'll update then and let you know if it posts...

Re: Re-Cap and No Post

Oh, and yes, I've tried 3 power supplies... and none of them can get it power up...

MSI 694D Pro AR Ver 1.0
Ok, my computer was becoming un-stable... I could burn DVDs and Play Counter-Strike:Source for hours, but when the computer would go idle I got BSODs... Even screen savers would lock the PC up. After seeing that I had 7 blown caps (electrolite fluids coming out) I decided to order a re-build kit. I ran a system back-up onto my file server and took it all apart.

I only found 19 caps that I could replace with what was available in the kit, the only ones that I didn't replace would be the 16-volt chips, but as I've been reading in the forums those don't...

Re: Design Flaw on MSI 694D Pro ver:1.0

So my question is, Do you suggest to all 694D owners to install this one backwards?
