Just want this new deadboard needed. I hope I can give this mobo a second chance. Thank you for sharing this....

Rezistor, I got the MSI a new life. Thank you so much for the assistance....

Thank you so much happy holidays from the other side of the globe 😃

What is the version of that Boardview? I have the same model, but the version is MS-7D97 v1.0. I don't see the components mentioned on my board. I made a separate post regarding help with BoardView MS-7D97 v. 1.0. Could you please point me to a download link?...

Update: I found three components missing (U53), but the one in the middle of the board, indicated by the red arrow, does not exist in the MS-7D42 version. The group of SMD (Red circle) does not exist in the boardview....

Happy holidays, everyone,

I acquired an MSI Mag B660M mortar max wifi DD4 ms-7D-97 v1.0. I'd like to give this Mobo a second chance. The owner said it's a dead board. Upon checking, I saw there are missing parts on the back side; it's now soldered or heated, looks like it got bumped or something. Anyway, the issue is that I can't find the BoardView of this version, ms-7D97 v1.0. The one available MS-7D42 v1-1 does not match this one, especially the parts that are missing 😪. Can anyone point me to a download link?...

Quick update:

Been away for a while, my son got hospitalised, but we are home now. To answer the questions, I changed the 1/4 watts to 1/2, which fits snuggly (Red, red, gold, gold ), and the thing fired up.

I agree with you, I forgot to mention in the post that I found some kind of bug or small insects inside when I first opened the PSU that might have contributed to the resistor short.

I'm no expert, I think you're right that the resistor goes to the relay, which is part of the PWM.

Hello,
As the title says. I bought a cheap Asus ROG Strix 750-watt PSU, which was posted as defective. Cables are complete, and the entire PSU is in good condition, of course, aside from being faulty. Long story short, upon checking, there is no +5VSB. Looking at the components, I found a blown resistor. I swear, looking at the bands, the color is pink, pink, gold, gold. I dunno if I'm color blind or this is the way resistors are coded.

Please help, did I decode it correctly at 2.2 ohms (red, red, gold, gold), or what could a pink, pink, gold gold value be? I bought a...

Hmmm I needed to buy a BIOS flasher anyway. I received an Asus motherboard with a faulty BIOS update, and it became bricked. Thanks for the advice

Thank you, much appreciated....

Gotcha! voltage equal or above 450v. Online store min is 5 pieces so yes will replace all three of them....

Thank you. I have ordered the 47µF 450V.

Hello momaka,
Great in depth with this PSU. I have a similar one which I bought as defective. I've been working on this for several weeks now. It came to me dead, no power at all. I replace the fuse, the two JCS18n50 in the APFC to no avail. After digging more I found out that Q1 and Q2 is shorted, so I changed them, now I have +5Vsb but still not turning on. After more hours and digging it looks like IC3 CM6805BG is shorted ( GND and VCC has a 8ohms reading) and C10 has blown. I have ordered replacement for the IC but I dunno what is the value of C10. The closest I found is that C10 could...
