I recently got my hands on a loose Shuttle FV24 motherboard that definitely needed new capacitors. All of the capacitors I used match the original values.
After replacing them, the board powers up but will only report continuous long beeps. Based on how it has an Award BIOS chip on board, most of the info I could find online says that it's memory related. I did run into some trouble removing solder from one of the caps while I was working on the board, which lead to me slipping with my solder extractor (plunger/manual style) and scraping a couple traces. I repaired these and verified continuity.
Other things I've tried:
- New BIOS battery
- Reseat RAM multiple times
- Swapping different sticks (single and dual sided DIMMs, all known working)
- Reflowed all caps again
- Strengthened/bridged two additional suspicious traces
I'm not sure where to proceed from here, anything I haven't tried yet? I've attached a photo of the area where I repaired the traces. The upper two traces are the ones that I scraped and the bottom two are the ones that I suspected to be related.
