<0> heh
<0> I'll (try) that
<1> :/
<2> Anyone know what Asus means by "Since PCB" in its motherboard/processor support table?
<3> link?\
<2> http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us it doesnt take you right to it tough
<2> java and what not
<3> well pcb is printed circuit boarrd...
<3> probably
<3> what do I click on next
<2> under search cpu string select something
<2> motherboard, then socket478, the P4s800 in my case
<3> ahh ok
<3> since pcb is referring to the motherboard revision
<3> so all motherboards after the listed revision support that processor
<2> damnit
<2> Im guessing I dont have the latest revision
<3> try cpuz
<3> it should tell you
<2> same chart basically
<3> huh?
<3> cpuz is a program
<2> oh
<3> it detects motherboard and cpu information
<3> lemme link you
<3> http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-133.zip
<3> extract the cpu.exe only and run it
<3> cpuz.exe
<2> REV 1.XX
<3> well...
<3> that's probably it...
<3> :p
<2> yea...
<2> I want my $360 back
<0> o_0
<4> does anyone here know much about monitors?
<3> you bought a cpu that doesn't work?
<3> DefiantN, did you flash to the latest bios?
<5> heh
<2> apparently, the manual said it supported it
<2> yes
<3> :-/
<3> and it won't work?
<2> yea
<3> damn
<3> sorry man
<5> Al`: We've been over this :\
<4> when?
<3> i guess...I check the mobo compatibility lists BEFORE i buy a cpu
<3> but...*shrug*
<4> i must've missed it.. what did u say? :)
<5> well, the first, most important thing, is dont open the monitor whatever you do.
<5> the fact that your asking here makes you not a electrician, so dont go in it, you could kill yourself.
<3> lol
<5> now that we have safety out of the way
<5> what have you tried?
<4> yea i wasn't planning on doing that :)
<4> i tried using a diff power cable
<5> one ***umes you plug the screen in
<4> i would try using a diff connector to the pc but i don't have one..
<5> plug it into the computer
<3> actually if you don't know what you're doing, and are too dumb to figure it out...open it up, find a rubber looking thing, and jam a fork under it
<5> turn both on
<5> and....
<4> yea i have :)
<5> you get a blinking green light on the monitor?
<4> the power just flicks on and off
<4> yea
<4> but the power goes on and off it seems
<3> Al`, out of warranty?
<5> ok, that more or less means the monitor isnt getting a signal
<5> Al`: what makes you think that?
<4> yea it's 2nd hand
<3> damn
<5> alot of screens will blink their power light when they are attached to a video adapter and arent getting a picture
<4> because i hear funny sound like the power is switching on :)
<5> ahh
<5> ok
<5> yeah, you have a funny power supply going on in that screen
<5> you'll either want a electrician to look at it, or junk it.
<4> :S
<5> its nothing you can fix yourself.
<4> yea didnt think so
<5> if your in BC canada, I'll take a look at it happily.
<4> i'm in england :D
<5> hah
<4> bit annoying really cause it's a nice 21" flatscreen i got for :)
<5> too bad. what brand?
<4> so i guess it's worth taking to the electrician
<4> mitsubishi
<5> eh
<3> no eh
<3> ew
<5> you could try going inside it yourself, if your comfortable with high voltage electronics
<4> i dunno what i'd be looking for :S
<5> and dont mind the idea of learning the lesson that 15kv HURTS
<4> :)
<5> and hopefully doesnt stop your heart while its busy hurting ;x
<4> lol
<5> you look for burnt ****
<5> more or less
<5> popped or loose caps
<5> start tracing the AC line on in
<5> follow the circuitry
<5> with a continuity meter preferably
<5> although a visual inspection could be sufficient
<5> more than likely its a pretty simple solder job
<5> those cheap **** asian monitors are all put together by 10 year old kids
<5> and no offence to them, bless their hearts, but they cant solder for ****.
<6> yeah
<6> 10 year old kids who think they have the world by the balls.
<5> ..in a sweatshop
<5> **** you yank
<3> Richter, oh they are FUN
<7> ahem, nobody solders CRT circuit boards by hand
<7> there might be some wires that are hand soldered
<5> not the boards, but alot of the stuff has to be ***embled by hand and is soldered
<5> I mean hell, what circuit boards are actually built by hand commercially? :|
<7> cold-solders and ****ty circuit board that expands and shrinks with the temperature break solder joints.
<5> and alot of times you get a refubrished monitor and it HAS been soldered on by hand
<8> i got a soldering certificate yay
<5> not to mention ****ty solder.
<7> well, cheap solder and no flux
<5> yeh
<5> I've fixed SO many monitors with so many different kinds of problems by dissasembling the whole thing, removing the solder from EVERY joint, replacing any and all questionable caps and resoldering the whole thing with a 50w iron and good silver solder.
<9> you are a nerd
<8> why replace all
<10> how much do you charge rukk?
<5> because I can fix things?
<7> takes alot of work... a crt might have like 500 components in it
<8> you repair the broken part
<5> Shockwav: I tend not to do it commercialy, alot of hours.
<10> i have a broken monitor.. i just bought the same one for 50$ but mine cost 300$
<0> Hmm
<10> i bought a refurbished one shipped for 50.. prob same price as shipping my old broken one
<5> eh, I'd do it for $50 + shipping both ways + solder + parts
<5> and no guarantee I could fix it.
<10> heh the power light just stays orange
<10> its not the tube i dont think
<5> its almost never the tube
<10> so its prob just a bad connection or somthing iw ant to open it but its still under warrenty
<5> then get it fixed under warranty
<10> and i lost the # to call hah mitubisihi tech support is a bitch
<5> it could be a colour chip or something I cant get a replacement for
<10> i got rma number 5 months ago and never sent it you think the rma number is still good?
<5> maybe
<5> call them and find out
<3> no
