I would need a close-up photo of Intel OR840 system board, more specifically the are near VRM module. I marked the area, could someone please take a photo of this area, as sharp and good as possible?

Would really appreciate this, my board seems to have a missing component there and damaged PCB trace.

The silver VRM is removable, just pull gently and it should pop out. Sorry, I cleaned the board with alcohol and there was a bit leftover when i took the pic.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Thank you!!! Yours appears to be IBM Intellistation one, just like mine (regular OR840 differs a bit).

Seems that my board is defective after all. Boots but is unstable, has to be related to the damage. Would you sell/trade yours to me? 😀
