Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1

I was coming back from Hardy`s and saw a 50 Vizio E50U-D2 sitting next to the road with it`s back to the road so you could not see the screen. I figured what the heck . I stopped and picked it and plugged it and the screen was not broken but doing the ghost rolling thing. I was able to fix it with the paper trick on one of the ribbons leaving the T-con board going to screen. Now it`s in my living room and it`s great wireless all the bells and whistles . I fixed a 600 tv with a 1/8 wide piece of paper . I am so pleased with myself

First post here long time reader, new member !!!! I had a MS-7510 motherboard given to me. Had a bad bios, flash fixed that with a SPI 1 to LPT flash. I first started to look at the capacitors and had 9 or 10 read like a dead short with an OHMs meter. The one by the memory slot next to the ACER reads only on 1 side the the red side of it with the others. I am only guessing here, are they no good ?? After I flashed the bios and it booted I was able to load windows 7 on it and it runs just fine. Ran it for about 2 or 3 hours and then shut it down and took apart to put up until I could get some input...
