Megatouch EVO repair - No signal
justtaint:
I replaced about a dozen caps before the smell of solder started giving me a headache, and only then did I realize that I would have to cut the connectors off the old PSU and solder them onto the new PSU.
Anyways, it's almost all back together, but I've forgotten what two connectors are supposed to be attached to.
Here are some pictures of where they start (the daughterboard underneath the mother board), and where I know they won't go.
It's only two wires, a brown and a black, but it's a 12 pin female connector and a 2 pin female.

Reading through the Force TSB right now and it appears I didn't need to take the two boards apart. I should have just taken out the two screws and removed the entire assembly. Too late for that though.
I've found my answer on roughly page 187 of the PDF in the Tech Notes Field Bulletin dated 10/24/01.

Started it up and now it's time for some more troubleshooting.
First time starting...I get:
"Press F10 key to change bootstrap selection.
Current Selection is -- PXE boot using interupt 18h"
After about 5 minutes of doing nothing, I powered off and back on.
This time it got past the boot strap and displayed:
"For Realtek RTL8139(X) PCI Fast Ethernet Controller v2/6
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"
No clue what the bootstrap issue is, or if that's normal, but I'm guessing the last message means that the hard drive is toast.
Pri. Master Disk lists NONE.
Power and IDE cables are properly connected.
I'll connect the hard drive to my computer in the morning and see if it's recognized.
If it truly is toast, what replacement options do I have?

2005.5 and up allow you to use any IDE hard drive. You just need to know what version key you have and download that version ISO from there website and burn it to dvd. Then install it to the hard drive.
