Re: Empty SPI socket on Foxconn motherboard, will it work?
That chip next to the RAM slots is not the bios, it is the ICS cpu controller. It monitors the cpu voltage, temperature etc.

Re: Think this thing is worth recapping?
It has them dreaded thin T shaped heatsinks, lol. Looks like it might have potential in an old computer though with a few mods.

Re: Do you replace sleeve bearing fans on site?
Just peel back the sticker, take out the rubber bung if there is one, and put a few drops of oil in the shaft. Then put the sticker back on and spin it a few times until it spins freely. This can also be done as a precautionary measure....

Re: Gateway MA7 laptop won't charge or run off of A/C
Have you tried removing the laptop battery, bios battery and ac all at the same time, holding down the power button for about 30 seconds and then trying to power it up? That is worth a try.
If it is a zener diode, i believe that is used for protection, you could try bypassing it, but dont do that until someone posts back who has a little more knowledge in electrics than i do.

Re: ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe
This thread is probably dead lol, but if your still here, put a small fan pointing down on that copper heatsink by the mosfets, that nforce chipset is sure to run hot and fail after a few years.

Re: Generic PSU 400W
The resister is putting a load on the 12v and 5v in order to stabilize the voltages, they will get hot, although they shouldn't be get to the point where they desolder themselves from the pcb. The capacitors are cheap and should be replaced, also there is plenty of points on the pcb to install more capacitors. The dust probably restricted the resistors from getting airflow, which caused them to desolder.

Re: Going to give Windows 8 a try - but NO METRO, thank you.
I hope Linux becomes more popular and supported in the near future. Microsoft has had it their own way for too long and are only creating crappy operating systems to keep the money flowing. I love win7 but still, I think Linux is the way forward if their was more support.

You may have knocked the lvds connector loose. Try and re-seat it.
