Re: Ecs Amd690gm-m2 / Biostar A74og M2+

Thanks for the information. I will give the chip removal a go and see what happens. I will also try swapping out one cap and see if it fixes the board and how long the board will last.

Hello, first time poster here to this nice forum. Sorry for the list of questions in one post I am about to post.

I have two ECS AMD690gm-m2 motherboards that I suspect have bad caps on them from first glimpse and they will not post, only the fans spin.

The second cap from where it is stamped ATA133 (in front of the 24pin atx) is bulging and it is the only cap that is bulging. These caps are OST O739 RLS 6.3V 1000UF. Link to motherboard photo below for reference.
