Re: Abit BE6-II v1.2 - Bad Caps
OK, then I'll try discharging all caps when the board is not starting anymore.
Does this make a sense?

Re: Abit BE6-II v1.2 - Bad Caps
Sorry for opening up this old topic - I just got a BE6-II which makes funny things. The board starts OK for the first time, but if I power down, then it will NEVER power up again: I have to clear CMOS checksum to get it running again.
An it's not just not booting, but then it's not even starting the fans, as it would be completely dead.
What might that be? Bad caps as well?Leave a comment:

Re: Abit BF6 - only starts once
Yes, 100% correct remote diagnostics.
PSU was wrong.
All in all, every PC problem has 2 roots:
1) Bill Gates
2) Bad capsLast edited by doggyfreestart; 12-03-2006, 05:15 PM.Leave a comment:

Abit BF6 - only starts once
So here is this BF6 with a pretty funny behavoiur:
If I start it just after plugging in the PSU, it work all OK. Soft reset goes as well. But as I drive it down, and want to start it again, it doesn't make any sound.
I have to detach the PSU, wait a few mins and I can start then again.
The Caps look allright, althought they are Jackcons.
Is this problem typical for bad caps? If not, what else can be wrong?
Thanks in advance,

Re: Duron Burnt?
After having the wine, I went to the computer cemetery again - and I've found an Epox K8A3+ MoBo. So I put the CPU inside - nothing to loose - and it started POST-ing, then asked for a floppy because of BIOS checksum error. OK, it's damaged as well - but at least it does something...
Now I'm confused: I've tried that shitty CPU in 2 known good MoBos, set to 100 MHz FSB, 1.65 Vcore & reset CMOS, and no sign of life. But to display anything on the screen, the CPU has to be alive, hasn't? Pls help me out, I'm feeling stupid.Leave a comment:

Re: Duron Burnt?
None of the RMA things apply. The resistance shows some 100 ohms at the beginning, then goes higher. Nice description, by the way.
I've just tried the CPU in my desktop, and it didn't make any sound, either.
So the moral of the story is: always use genuine, trusted caps, otherwise it can cost you a CPU/Mobo or both. And you were working for nothing. Sad but true. And now I drink a glass of wine to tribute my first killed Duron.Leave a comment:

Hi, whom did you write to at MSI? I was ignored by them, I'm in Germany as well. Can you please PM me, which papers did they want?Leave a comment:

Re: Duron Burnt?
Fans start OK. Does this signal that the PSU is OK? No sound, no beep, nothing on the screen.
Some vias were a bit messy, when soldering in, so the procedure in the FAQ couldn't be followed exactly. I soldered these holes with the "tweeze-in" method. But no raw force applied.
There are no shorts on the caps, I can measure 1.65V on the positive side.
I used genuine Rubycon ZL caps, the same rating as the Chssis were before.
I have an ESD-Safe floor in the room I use for soldering, but no wrist strap. I wasn't able to kill...Leave a comment:

Duron Burnt?
Well, I just found an MS-6378 V1.0 on the local recycling centre, with CPU & RAM. It was POSTing, but had 7 pcs bulged Chssi 1500uF 10Vs . I had some Frolyt (German manufacturer) 1500uF 10Vs lying around, so I installed them. Result: No POST. Later I discovered, that these have a rather low ripple rejection, so possibly not suitable for motherboards.
OK, then I bought Rubycon ZL 1500uF 10Vs. No POST either.
So where should I look for the error? May I have killed the CPU with the wrong caps? How sensible are the Durons against ESD? (I just had it lying on the desk while soldering.)...
