Kamikaze_Badger Report post Posted December 12, 2005 Well, my K7N2G just died one day. Wouldn't POST, etc. Today, I was looking at the uncovered NB, and I think I discovered the cause of death. I'm not sure though... the huge (proportionally) crack in the chipset MIGHT have something to do with it. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kamikaze_Badger Report post Posted December 12, 2005 The problem is that it's not cracked all the way through. And I'm not about to get out my x100000000 magnifying glass and a really really really small soldering iron tip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kamikaze_Badger Report post Posted December 12, 2005 Don't bother. That thing was my first, and it held back a great potential OC. My last wish is for it to live a happy, life... BURNING IN HELL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
