--- Quote from: IntruderAlert on May 18, 2005, 12:18:32 am ---I read somewhere that you should check the 10 UF electrolytic capacitors on the main board, right beside where the daughter board plugs in There's like 4 of them or something If that's all it is it'll be a cheap fix --- End quote --- Really! Hmmm... and what would be the symptoms of bad caps? Would it be total system shutdown? I might just have to look into that... How do I test a capacitor, though? |

Sounds like you've lost the 10uF cap near the edge connector on the motherboard.

Just be careful and don't shock yourself ;) |

Well it looks like that guy still had sound. I don't think I'm getting sound. |

You don't suppose it could simply be that someone flipped the dipswitches when "cleaning" do ya'? |
