    A7V133 No post/No Boot

    I have a 133 final rev. board (1.05 I think/it is the final rev. regardless) Has run a 1.3 Duron for at least a year. The Duron was a PITA to set up and forget about using the jumperless settings. In hindsight I think it was underclocked at 100mghtz. Switched to a 1900XP and once again attempted...

    Where can i get NICHICON capacitors? for a DELL motherboard

    If memory serves me voltage AS LONG AS IT IS HIGHER is not critical, however the higher the voltage the larger the cap. If you cant find a 1800 an 1700 or 1900 will work. A 1600 or a 2000 might work and so on. Ron

    Where can i get NICHICON capacitors? for a DELL motherboard

    Nichicon is a brand name, match the numbers on the side and your good to go. If you need a Xerox copy, it MUST come from a Xerox Copy machine If you need a cola, is it a Coke, Pepsi, R.C., or Sams Club. Match the numbers, Radio Shack most likley Ron

    Broke off pin on HD - can I repair it?

    I was able to solder a fine wire to the HD then to a replaced, much shortened pin (donor from fried HD) mounted in the correct hole and glued in place in the socket. I then wire tied an IDE cable to the HD and have had no problems. It is not very sexy BUT it salvaged a 40gb HD. GoodLuck Ron
