learners permit Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 No biggie just get a 16V. 100uf electrolytic cap from radio shack or an electronics supplier and Ill tell you the polarity so you can solder in the new one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THunDA Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 it will post, and get into the bios, i dont have a hd to test it further atm. andrew Things are put on the mobo for a reason.. I really wouldnt suggest trying to power it up with something broke off the board.. It might appear to be working but imo there is too much of a risk messing something up.. If your handy with soldering then im sure replacing it like learners permit says will work.. But if you dont know how to solder then try to send it to DFI.. maybe they can help you with it..

red930 Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Another option is head to a local electronics repair shop, hell even a decent radioshack might have a good solderer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigr5026 Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 dude, it hink you should send it to a guy on here, if your not good at soldering, or just call dfi and say that it was bad placement and a total accident, and maybe they will repair it, its worth a try Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminal Vertig Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 i dont think its a capacitor, because its small, and i know what a capacitor is, and that theyre soldered on, this isnt soldered on and on the board now are two metal fins where it would have pushed on, like it got popped off. any ideas what this is and controls? right near the top of the board, where the top screw screws in your mobo tray.

fred99 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 it looks like a jumper the way you talk.. but I don't say that to insult you, it just look like this the way you talk. One time we were all newbies.. if it's a jumper your problem is easy to resolve. Replace it were it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
