Will do. But what happens when powered up is that the south bridge gets insanely hot followed by lots of nothing. will still give it a try though, would be a really nice board.

Ah. It's sure dead then,may it rest in pieces :laugh:

What about the one on the left? What's wrong with that one?

That one, no idea. It was the original board in the Athlon system, lightning killed the lan years ago.....worked okish since then. But a while back i wanted to use it and nothing would happen, fans woulds spin but no post and no beep codes.

Try replacing caps on that one,it may come back to life.

Could you please post a higher res shot of it?

STIG_ZA · Jan 16, 2015

Will do. noob question, what is the maximum res i can post here?

whatever you want. It gets scaled down automatically to match the user's horizontal resolution. If you click on the picture you get the full size.

I don't know if uploading directly to TPU has any limits though.

Actually some of the capacitors can actually cause that issue. I had some bad caps on a Gigabyte board back in the socket A days and the south bridge would get so hot ya couldn't even touch it! Had three bulging caps. Pulled them, soldered new ones in, and bam, end of south bridge heat and the board posted right up.
Food for thought.

lol guess im just going to replace every cap until it works :laugh:

. Luckily i have some more dead motherboards from which to pull caps

None look like they are leaking or bulging, i assume you replaced the caps near the south bridge?

I can't really remember where they were located on the board to be honest. It has been so many years ago now. LOL

I would try and buy new caps rather than attempting to use some from another board. Trouble with that is the leads are usually so dang short its hard to get them soldered correctly.

Took quite a few out the board and tested them, they all seem ok. So meh will keep it for parts and search for another like it

In my experience our local pharmacist gets very suspicious and asks a lot of questions if you buy a lot of Isopryl Alcohol.

Maybe he thinks that you want to Rob someone

Vodafone 125 (2007)
I paid for it in 2010 5€ it was my Emergency
Mobile Phone.
And it's still Working.

Let me hear what phone do you own.

Arjai · Jan 17, 2015

Droid Max 16, Motorola.

Best phone I've ever had. Battery lasts 2 DAYS!! No Joke, 2 days.

Also, Android has EVERYTHING apple has, and MORE!

To me, now, Apple is just a status, like owning a Jaguar. Well, maybe not. Jaguars are more useful....

surely something better than a iPhone .... since it's not hard at all

(joke)
for my side i have a LG G2 (D802) and instead of a iPad (which didn't do long in my hands since it was so limited) a Nvidia Shield Tablet with the Nvidia Shield Wireless Controller and a free 32gb uSD :roll:

ahah yep ... pretty much that ... both run on a derivative of Linux ... yet only Apple is proprietary and more closed than Alcatraz in the golden days ...

altho it's good for non tech friendly user :laugh:

btw i sold the computer i had when i first signed to TPU, ofc not with the TX3 but the stock AMD cooler and not with the FSP PSU but a OEM HP one xD 2012 not so old tho

still i am nostalgic about that piece of crap from HP i had before re-enlightening myself to the joy of self assembled PC thanks to TPU :lovetpu:

Let me tell you that I've owned iPhone 3/4/4s and 5, because I never used before android and because I have 2 mobiles phones contracts and every year I can have 2 phones for free, this time I got 2 Samsung Galaxy s5 just for curiosity and been honest after a week using Android I regretted the big mistake I did.

Btw I have 2 ipad's and one iPhone and I was and I am still happy with Apple products.

Arjai · Jan 17, 2015

I believe a week is not nearly enough time to fully come to terms with what you have. Give it time, change is not always accepted right away as good, or right. But, after a while, you, too, will see the light.

I gave it time, I am using Android for about 5 months, appreciate your advices but Android is not for me, 1 phone is sold and the other that remains will be sell as soon as i can.

Note: Each one of us is happy with what we like

And that's why Samsung won't never sell more than Apple.

Samsung will ever be 5 steps behind Apple.
