Capacitors fell off

Earlier i was applying Artic Silver to my TI5900s (ms-8929) memory chips and i found 2 small capacitors on the paper i was useing to put the card on, i think they fell of from somewhere, my best guess is on the back Near the fan Clip (that black thing that holds the wires in place), the card runs fine and so do the fans, if anyone can geta picture of the back of the card near the clip for me that would be great, if the card runs fine im hoping these capacitors didnt mean anything. I just want to know where they came from.

After all that  how much did the temp drop, that card runs cool as it is anyways.
I suggest you get a magnifier and inspect that whole card.
Now you really stand a chance of voiding your warranty if you try to RMA that card and they find out you used AS on it. It'll either be refused or you will have to pay for rework.
Smooth move

  • 790XT-G45 one of the capacitors fell off

    Hello there msi community and hopefully some MSi engineers  :D
    Today i opened my case for some dust cleaning and one thing really scared me - I saw a small capacitor laying at the bottom of the case. within few minutes i located the spot where it's missing. i marked it on this picture with yellow http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/4845/msi790xtg45.jpg .
    But the system is running, I ran Folding@Home for quite a while (so 100 percent usage) - and everything works like before,
    So my question is - what is that exact capacitor's purpose? Should I be worried that something won't work correctly? If yeah what?
    Question two - if this needs to be fixed is there an easy way I can do it? I've got some soldering skills...
    I don't want to jump right to RMA, now it seems that everything is working so I really doubt it's RMA-able in the shop I bought it in (here in Slovakia).

    Had you installed your OS while the controller was set to AHCI, you could change the mode to IDE.  If you really want it in AHCI, you can do a registry fix, BUT, unless you need AHCI for hot-swapping, I'd stick to IDE.  While in IDE mode, you can edit the registry and then reboot.  Reboot again and change the mode to AHCI.

    Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    To resolve this issue yourself, enable the AHCI driver in the registry before you change the SATA mode of the boot drive. To do this, follow these steps:
       1. Exit all Windows-based programs.
       2. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
       3. If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
       4. Locate and then click one of the following registry subkeys:
          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci
          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\IastorV
       5. In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify.
       6. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
       7. On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.

    Here is a page with illustrated steps: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/61869-ahci-enable-windows-7-vista.html
    But, like I stated, if you do not need hot-swapping capability, use IDE.

    If you have Apple care and the problem occured without misuse on your part ... it can be replaced without charge.

  • Replace a key that fell off keyboard

    Hi There,
    I can't seem to put back a key that fell off the keyboard of my daughter's graphite ibook. It doesn't seem broken but I wondered if there was a trick that I'm missing.
    Thanks
    macbook pro, imac, ibook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Sometimes these keys can be tricky to get back on. What you should be able to do is place the key exactly where it should go and then press down on it and it should snap into place without you even having to do anything. Unfortunately this doesn't always work, but with some attempts to get it back on you should usually get it.
    Sorry If I couldn't be of that much assistance.

  • My whole screen fell off my ipad! how much money will this cost?

    My screen was very shattered, so I got it fixed can the people who did it (not at apple) did a very crappy job. I could see though the camera and it glitch so it would face time people and go on random apps. It cracked again. Then the screen was slipping off, and eventually fell off completely. I need this fix asap, could someone tell me how much it cost? 

    Hi Because you used a 3rd party to repair Apple will not help you You need to buy a new ipad. Cheers Brian

    The screen on my iphone 4 has completely shattered after it fell off my bedside table? i am very careful with my phone and have rarely dropped it, never onto concrete or such and never from very high. thanks x

    Take it to Apple and pay the Out of Warranty replacement price.  In the US that is $149 for the iPhone 4.

  • Left Shift Key fell off

    Hi guys, I don't know if this is such a weird issue but about two weeks or so ago, my left shift key fell off. I knew I couldn't snap it back on since one of the mini white clips on the upper side (back portion) of the key is missing.
    Right now, I can put it back on the keyboard but it wiggles as I know it doesn't fit securely as it used to be. I wish I could take a photo of it and post it on here.
    This should be covered by the generic 1-yr battery, right?
    Message was edited by: ricpacs

    1-yr battery or warranty? The falling apart of keys may or may not be covered. There are various things that can happen to keyboards which are controllable by Apple, and the user. I would call AppleCare if you believe you didn't do anything that might damage the computer. A list of things that could include:
    1. Food
    2. Water
    3. Drink
    4. Walking by door jams without making sure the machine is inside a well padded notebook bag.
    5. Not paying attention to situations where the computer apparently overheats and shuts down on its own. Making sure that the machine has its display turn off when the lid is closed, and making sure that the battery is replaced if it is under the exchange program.

    guys today my n97 unlock button fell off ...i did google search and found out thats a common manufacturing defect in n97 ...so please can anyone tell me any solution for this thing...this phone is really getting on my nerve now..

  • A key on my key board fell off. What do I do?

    I was cleaning my keyboard today and the H key fell off. I managed to get it back on but now it is really stiff and you have to use some serious force to get it to work. When I take it off again it works fine without the key attached.
    I got my MBP in 2008 so my apple care is long gone and I live in a city without an apple store. Would I be able to take it to a computer repair shop to get it fixed? Is it even fixable?
    Thanks!

  • Key just fell off keyboard

    The D key just fell off my keyboard. I can use D but have to carefully press the little knob. The key cover (?) is completely off. How do I replace it? I tried pressing down on the key cover in the hole it left. That didn't work. No Apple store within 100 miles, so can't take it in. Please help.

    It's a very delicate process but once you figure it out, it's very easy afterwards. Tweezers also comes in handy too.
    Did the two latch pieces come off with the key? You will have to take them off and put them back on first. Hopefully the little tabs didn't break which keeps them attached to the keyboard.
    To see how how they go back on is easier visually then describing so remove any key next to it by taking the tweezers and prying just the key from the top. That way you will leave the 2 pieces underneath in tact. Once you get those attached, just center the key up and press down until it snaps.

  • IPhone 3GS volume button fell off? Which glue to use

    Hi
    My 3GS volume button fell off. It costs alot to fix it since they got to take it apart.
    I was thinking of adding glue to put it back. Has anyone done this? Any good suggestions on which glue to use?
    Thanks.

    I would recommend an out of warranty repair or a 3rd party repair company and NOT glue.
