Re: Ga-8knxp

actually this warranty covers anything its an over the counter exchange and if its broken due to power surge they dont question it or at least they have not yet.

Re: Ga-8knxp

Is this something I should worry about? Or something I could look into as I just picked up a new mobo and I will be using this psu with it. Not too worried though since the new mobo has a 4yr warrenty

Re: Ga-8knxp

Well First it was an Enermax 350w whisper EG365 which eventually died and then I replaced it in 2005 with the Enermax 420w EG425P-VE sfma noisetaker which is still working to this day and afaik it could have been the first one or this one that caused the error no idea since it is a system that sits in the basement and I never physically see it unless something is wrong and I cant remote into it (like now) lol

Re: Video card no issues?

Alright, I am in Canada and we have some really good electronics stores and yeah I dont mean radio shack but I am in no rush to fix it as you said its working. This being said since the motherboard is shot (It looks like I will be upgrading the board for now and then play with the old board later) I picked up a sucker off of eBay for $2 so I couldn't complain. I should look into getting some flux though as I have that copper stuff but I am not sure what flux is

Re: Ga-8knxp

This makes sense thank you would explain exactly what is going on will have a look at the ones around the video card (maybe post picks for confirmation)

Re: Video card no issues?

Thank you very much for the reply and lots of info,

The reason that one is loose is due to laziness on my part of trying to pull out and put in hdd and you are right none of them are bulging.

I have never soldered anything onto anything of any importance lol but there is always a first. I will go to my local electronics supply shop and pick up some caps to replace them.

I also have to pick up a desolder suction tool as I do not have one.

again thank you.

Re: Ga-8knxp

What do you mean by nearby components? like other parts?

Hello

Can anyone explain how it is that this video card still works? it also doesnt seem to have any issues that I can tell (as you can see one of the caps leads is off the board, well its kinda hard to see but it is)

Would I be safe to assume that all I have to do is re-solder the connection?

Thanks...

Hello Everyone,

I have attached an image of what I believe to be some bad caps. The motherboard will give off a sound of very fast beeps a couple of times on boot but nothing shows up on the screen, I have tried a different power supply and video card but both work fine in other systems which leaves it to the mobo, cpu or ram (pretty sure the ram and cpu are fine) alas I think its the mobo? Can anyone let me know if this sounds correct and if the image is showing bad caps have I just been lucky up to this point with it booting? cause they have beeen looking like this for awhile....
