Thanks kaputnik and Deksor ! 😀 So inductance seems right. Capacitors should be ok too... Could you explain me more concerning the "SIMM VCC/VSS pins" ? Directly on the memory slot ? I've found a POST card on ebay. Is there something to check before buying ?

Hello everybody :happy: I bought a MSI MS-6168 ver2 which was in a really bad shape. Lot of dust, bad capacitors, missing inductance and maybe more that i can't detect. My electronic knowledges are really poor (absent ?) and i would like to rebirth this board. - For capacitors replacement, i think …

Thank your very much for trying to help me Robert. In fact the motherboard is powering up but not posting. There was inductance and capacitors missing...i tried to replace them...but no luck the motherboard is starting (3 seconds after shorting the FPBUT-IN and GND pin...strange :D) but no display. …

Hello Robert and everybody I own a MSI MS-6168 but the board is not powering on. Robert, do you have advices to help me ? I noticed this MOFSET is giving 1.6V. Robert, can you please tell me if this is the normal voltage ? https://image.noelshack.com/minis/2019/47/7/1574579086-6168.png Thanks for …

Thanks for your answer. I've checket the MOFSETs voltage : - First one : 5V - Second one : 2.2V - Third one (near the AMR SLOT) : 3.5V - Fourth one (near memory slot) 3.4 - 3.5v Voltages seem stable. But i've noticed something strange under the BIOS voltage screen : The VTT (1,5V) is fluctuating a …

Wow ! Thanks a lot shamino ! I will try this during the week end and will let you know the results i will find. Does the voltage results will help decide whether the capacitors are OK or not ? Thanks for your help 😀

In fact, i'm not sure the one i replaced was bad but it seemed a little inflated and the strange thing is that it was unsolded at back (the motherboard was inside a case in a cold room. PC has not been powered on for 10 years i think). Tested with P2 400 / P3 450 / P3 667. Best results with the P3 …

Thanks all for trying to help me So, i understand that the first step is to change capacitors. If i change it, do they have to be exactly the same ? Shamino, yes, thanks, would be a pleasure to follow your steps to make some measurements as i'm a really noob in electronics. My multimeter is a basic …

Yes, it was one of the 16 (!!!) capacitors near the SLOT1 connector. Is there a way to test a capacitor once unsolded ? Have tried with anoter PSU and the card behaviour the same. I'm able to replace capacitors but my electronical skills stop there ! 😀 Thanks again for your help !

Hello Dionb and thanks for your answer. Yes, VGA output has distortions (no artefact). I've tried to inspect capacitors. One off them looked inflated and i've replaced it (with no result), others seem fine. I can see the windows 98 start screen and computer freezes. Sometimes, it will start scandisk …

Hello all ! :happy: I have a QDI Winnex 2E which is a i810E Slot 1 motherboard. The motherboard is posting fine but, as soon as the board is trying to load the OS, the system freezes or reboot. I've tried other CPU, RAM, adding a PCI Vga card but the result is the same. I don't know if it can help …

Thanks all for your answers. I've tried Gallant SC-6600 but they are for v2.0 and do not work. In fact, windows is installing his own driver but say there is a ressource problem... Installing the 66w95drv.zip file give the same answer but...changing IRQ from 5 to 7 solved the problem ! Is there a …

Nobody with the same card and with working drivers ? I've tried SC-6000 drivers, SC-6600 V2, AD1845JP but this card has a strange chip configuration and nothing works. 😒

I've been unable to find something to correct this problem...i think it will go to trash can 😒 Thanks for the replies !

Thanks for your reply ! I've shorted the three last inductances (HS VS and Ground) and no changes. Could this behaviour come from the chip himself ? In fact, even at boot, when the card display the BIOS version, i can see there is something wrong : lack of precision for the caracters.

Thanks for your answer ! Yes all others cards are ok with the same cable / display. Do you know how i can check the ramdac ? I will try to connect the card to the TV with the svideo port and see if something is different.

Hi all ! I have an old Guillemot TNT2-M64 with a strange problem. The card can work 2D and 3D with no problem (tested under 3DMARK), but the output quality is really strange. The card display odd horizontal ghosting (icons, windows...). I know this is not a collectible card, but i would like to …

Hi all ! I have a SC-6600 v1.0 with a strange chip configuration. There is a : -Compumedia DSP9410A -Compumedia ASC-9408A -Analog Devices AD1845JP I've tried lots of drivers but no one is working. Can you please help me find one ? https://image.noelshack.com/minis/2019/39/7/1569776559-photo2850.png
