Hi All,
I recently purchased a used Abit NF7 with AMD 2.0 ghz as a backup board for a Shuttle AN35N-Ultra I was having trouble with (that's another story, down the road). The NF7 wouldn't boot. No speaker code beeps. No spinning of fans. It has two LED's, a red one to denote power is getting to board, and a green one to denote it is booting(I think). Only the red one lights up.
The power supply is new. An Antec Earthwatts 650 (which is currently powering this post message) The processor is good (is running to post this message). All hardware connected to the NF7 at attempted boot time was in good working order.
All of the caps on the board are Rubycon except for the one's in the picture I've attached, 1200uf @ 16v. with a strange insignia. Could someone help me identify them? I saw no leakage on any of the caps either at the top, or the bottom. Is it likely that any of the rubycon's failed?
The other pic is of the Southbridge. It has a brownish area in the middle of the chip which can't be cleaned off by either water or isopropyl alchohol. Could this be a telltale sign of a roasted chip?
Thank you in advance!
Richard
