Re: Best thermal interface material?
I use the same as you get lots more bang for your buck and there is no real difference in performance....

Re: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P will not post
I tried this but it did not make much difference on the UEFI bios. I prefer the old style like I stated before but this is current state of things.
I think that number is misreported. If you look at the the min hard drive and CPU temps they are about the same ~room temperature when woken from sleep so the video card had to be about the same also which is about 35C less than shown. And no it is not clogged with anything. It has good air flow of warm air. I do intend to pull it apart and put new...Leave a comment:

Re: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P will not post
I am not sure where to start. I put my dads computer back together using all the old components with the exception of the motherboard and a SSD.
The first issue was that sometimes it takes up to 10 minutes before getting a boot screen. You can hear an internal fan change speeds multiple times during this time like it is continuously restarting. Other times Windows will be completely loaded in 30 seconds. There is no consistency to when this will occur. Even though this was happening I decided to take it back to my dad to see...Leave a comment:

Re: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P will not post
Momaka,
I appreciate your suggestions. I will test this as soon as I get a chance but it may be a few days. My work week starts tomorrow.
I have been getting the system up and running with new board. The SSD makes a big difference in the feel of the system. I am not a fan of these new "smart" BIOS that have been forced upon us. I have lived a long time with no mouse on the BIOS setup screen and could continue to do so for eternity.Leave a comment:

Re: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P will not post
Thanks I will check it out. Since he does not do any financial transactions a simple paper notepad my be the easiest solution if not the most secure.
Flexing is not an issue on this board. It is well made as best as I can tell. I have attached pictures of the brackets plus some more shots of the board.

Re: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P will not post
You may have missed it but in post #3 I stated that I tested the battery and it was 3.2V. I did not say that I pulled it out to measure the voltage.
I am with you in not having ever seen a processor fail but I have read horror stories of motherboards going bad and taking the processor with them. Then the processor killing other boards when trying to test the processor. I just did not want to be one of those stories.
Anyhow after sleeping on it and taking into account the VRM voltages I measured...Leave a comment:

Re: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P will not post
I could not find a spare AM3 socket processor to test with.
I need to get this PC up and running ASAP so I am looking at this for a replacement as all the other hardware will work with it.

Don't get me wrong, I want to find the point of failure on this board and fix it if possible. I just need to get my dad's PC back up an running like yesterday so I need to do something else as this could take some time to troubleshoot...Leave a comment:

Re: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P will not post
I did not think the ram was a problem so I decided it was safest to test it first. I put all four sticks in another PC and it fired up with no problem. I also tested my POST card in that PC and it worked every time no matter if it was from a cold or warm power on, so I think the motherboard has a pre-post failure.
I am still concerned about trying the processor in another board so I am going to print the compatible CPU list for this board and see what I can dig up.
I have attached pictures of the CPU and ...Leave a comment:

Re: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P will not post
I pulled the board from the case. I used a different power supply. I pulled the four sticks of ram then tried two of those individually and there was no change.
I tried it with no ram. This is the part that that to me seems to hint at the source of the problem. If the board is powered on after a hard power off there is no noise other than fans and the post card shows no activity other than power. When powered off and then back on with the power switch then the post card shows activity. In the case with no ram I think it stopped...Leave a comment:

Re: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P will not post
Thanks for replying Retiredcaps. I will try your suggestions when I get home from work tonight.
I did check the battery last night but it was 3.2V so I do not think that is an issue. It also dawned on me this morning that it is acting like a PC where the P4 connector was left disconnected.Leave a comment:

Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P will not post
This computer belongs to my dad and is used daily. It was turned off one night and the next morning it would not work.
Symptoms:
No display when powered on.
No beeps.
Fans and lights come on and stay on.
I have swapped both video cards and monitors and still nothing.
The board has all solid caps so I do not think that is the issue.
I have a PCI PC analyzer card that I used (see attached picture) and the results have left me confused. If I turn on the power supply, then power the board on, I get all the power indicators... -
Re: The KING
For a cheap power supply I am surprised by the populated input protection, ceramic fuse and the use of headers for the power and fans.
Did you check your voltages when powering the P3 board? Could it just be one rail sagging under load that affects the video chip set?Leave a comment:

Re: Antec TPQ-850 Double sided PCB
I thought I should update this thread since this supply did not work very long before failing again.
After I originally got this supply working I put it in one of my kids computers that should not have been much of a load for this supply. It worked without a problem for about four months then one day it would not turn on the PC. No bang or smoke just a quiet death. At that time, I was sick of this supply after all the time and money I spent on it for it to die so quickly. I tossed it aside where it sat until recently.

Re: A good PIC programmer.
If you are into DIY and want something more universal I would recommend the Open Programmer. It does PICs, Atmel, SPI, I2C, and more. It is also completely open source and does have ICD. (I have never used the ICD.) The real drawbacks are that you would have to build it yourself, and it is not directly supported from MPLab.

Re: Power supply build quality pictorial. part 2
You are right about all the goodies I can scavenge. The boards and parts are all being kept that is for sure. Those big caps and FETs can be expensive to buy. There are also a lot of TO-220 package devices I have yet to remove.
One of the big 20N60's was shorted and probably lead to the failure of the supply.
The complexity of this supply blew me away. When the daughter boards have daughter boards (granddaughter boards?) you know there is a lot going on and a lot of effort was put into...Leave a comment:

Sabre LCT47PBKA power supply MLT198G repair
I recently repaired a Sabre LCT47PBKA TV and thought I would share it as I could not find anything related to this TV or its' power supply on BadCaps.
My wife recently went to visit her sister and the brother in-law sent his TV back with her in hopes that I could fix it. It was an off brand so I figured it would be a problem with the capacitors.
I connected it to power and it showed no signs of life. I take the cover off and as expected the power supply had bloated caps. I first thought it would just be a matter of replacing the capacitors until I saw the scorch mark... -
Re: Power supply build quality pictorial. part 2
I picked up this server power supply at work just before someone threw it out. I wanted to pull it apart to see what was in it and I figured I would share it here even though it is not an ATX supply. I did not bother to figure out how this supply worked, as I had no need to repair it.
I am going to let the pictures speak for themselves but I have to say I was very surprised to find a full blown PIC micro-controller in the middle of this supply....Leave a comment:
