Christian Ney Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hum, cpu, memory and graphics card working well all tested. But the motherboard isn't booting, hang up at 00 00 code on the PCI analyzer card. So I checked the PCB and found that it has been damaged buy the seller I guess as the package was ok: So I did fix this using my soldering skills making bridges: But the board still won't boot. FFFFUUUUUUUUUU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF3D Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Haha.. you need to fix it better: http://sf3d.pp.fi/images/image/open/2.jpg That worked fine. But in the end you were not so lucky.. the seller probably knew that he was selling non working stuff FFFFUUUUUUUU.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptyTrooper Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 In my experience IC7's in general are quite delicate. I have personally killed 3......so even without the damage it might be dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 indeed it is as I fixed the damage but still not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Is IC7-MAX3 just as fragile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptyTrooper Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Is IC7-MAX3 just as fragile?I would think so as there is not much difference between it and the vanilla IC7. My personal belief is that the NB get's to hot on them and croaks. I have absolutely no proof to back that up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
