Re: eMachines T5082; Doesn't boot.. but...
Don't worry, I did. It's up on my shelf with some other motherboards.. I might work on it again in a few weeks or whenever I can get my hands on a better soldering kit of some sort. I think my next step is to just remove all of the larger mosfets and test again for shorts on the ATX 12v connector. ...

Re: eMachines T5082; Doesn't boot.. but...
Well, that's that. There was a short on the board somewhere, but I never found out where it was. I looked up some guides online on how to remove MOSFETs, but it proved to be way too much trouble for my patience and the amount of tools I have.
Long story short, I tried removing a mosfet for testing but ultimately destroyed it in the process along with some other circuits probably. I wasted 3 days of anger and frustration on this blasted thing. I salvaged the CPU, ram, hard drive, and DVD-RW... then I basically just threw the...

But judging from the thread severach posted, couldn't I just test them on the board first?

Looks like you guys might be right; I just installed the 6.3v replacement cap and nothing's changed.
How does one replace a "Mosfet"?

Well, I would, but I already tested 2 other PSUs on the board and they both exhibit the same behavior on the board, minus the struggling PSU fan....

eMachines T5082; Doesn't boot.. but...
...If I unlpug the ATX 12v connector going to the processor and press the power button, the system appears to somewhat boot up. In other words...
- CPU fan never spins up
- SYSFAN connectors also do nothing on the board
- Keyboard LEDs light up for a second (What voltage do they use?)
- Power supply fan kicks on
- Can eject/close optical drive
But if I reconnect the ATX 12v connector.. nothing happens at all. The power supply fan twitches for a split second like it's trying to start up, but ultimately gets no where. Keep...
