Re: No luck lately (EPoX 8RTA3)
Flashed bios with the same and no change.
Either the board is damaged beyond the caps or......

Re: No luck lately (EPoX 8RTA3)
No. It's EP-8KTA3 w/ Via KT133a chipset. (Yup, that's a typo)
It has some monster caps on it. The first board i've recapped that has 12.5mm diam caps.

Re: No luck lately (EPoX 8RTA3)
No luck with CLRCMOS.exe.
It's not that the IDE controller doesn't work at all, it just doens't work correctly. I can begin a Win2k install and copy the files to the hard disk. When it comes time to restart and begin the 'setup', the screen freezes after displaying half of the Win2k splash screen.
I'm still wondering if the firmware could be hung and not allowing the disk geometry to be read correctly.
I guess i have nothing to lose by attempting to reflash.

Re: MSI OEM Motherboards missing caps?
1. The remaining caps on the OEM board may be a higher value.
2. The OEM board could be a later revision and might not have the same requirements.

No luck lately (EPoX 8RTA3)
I just attempted to recap a board for my sister, and all went well. I double-checked the solder joints with the pocket microscope, and touched up where necessary.
I'm starting to like the convenience of the flux-pen i bought.
Anyway, everything was going fine until.......i tried to install an OS. I began to think there was something wrong with the hard drive so i substituted with a CF-to-IDE adapter. No access.
Reconnecting the hard drive and starting FDISK allowed me to partition the disk. FDISK seemed to see the correct size of the disk 78,xxx MB....

Re: Qustion regarding accessing routers and such
That works! (i assume that the first number should be '192' instead of '912')
I have a BEFSX41 (wired) setup at the router and a WRT54GL (wireless) setup as an access point. The wireless router is setup with IP address changed to 192.168.1.2, and the DHCP server is disabled.
It does wacky things to your network if you have two DHCP servers running at the same time.
The numbers that the wireless router connects with are provided by the BEFSX41. It connects the same...

Re: Connections between layers
How the hell do you fix something like that?
Where there no connections to 'interior' layers?

Re: Connections between layers
That makes a strong argument against the use of a dental pick. (or any other mechanical method for removing solder)

Re: Connections between layers
Something like this wouldn't make any sense:
It would be very difficult to do, and probably an expensive method of electrically connecting the layers.
What about a tube though?

Connections between layers
How exactly are the connections made between the layers of a multilayer circuit board.
Looking at the holes of one of the bad boards, through a microscope almost looks like a rivet was used.
Solder at this failed connection refused to bead at the base. At closer inspection i noticed that the metallic ring around the hole was missing. The connection looked strange in another way; what i first assumed was solder formed itself into a perfect tube inside the resin board.
Looked like this:
Is there a brass rivet/tube...

Re: 80mm PWM case fan - can't find them
I've bought from them before. They seem reputable.

Re: OMG ! .. Asus Using Non Japan Solid Caps ??
Thats good new for me then!
I pulled out the pocket 30x scope and took another look. My Asus P5K-SE board contains Fujitsu, Chemecon, and what i think are Matsuki caps.

Re: OMG ! .. Asus Using Non Japan Solid Caps ??
I pulled the P5K-SE board out of it's box to see if it looked similar too the blurry pics. The Symbol in the upper LH corner of some the caps looks identical.
