Ms-6330 boards & sudden death

About a year ago or so i was buying a new computer. I got my hands on a Ms-6330 board (probably k7t pro). I came here to this forum to read about any possible bugs in it and found out they often just die for no reason. Well i tested the board and what do you know, the board died. Of course i didn't buy it.
Now i got my hands on a dead k7t pro board with 700 Mhz duron. It won't start. Only 4 red lights and nothing happends. The processor is working, it's been tested with another board. When i was reading about the dead boards, i faintly remember something about the capasitors possibly being bad or something similar. So i'm asking: was there found a solution for making the boards to come alive again?
Took the battery off it. it's been unistalled for a week now and i'll keep it off for another week, then i'll test, if for some strange reason i'd be so lucky, that it'd work.

Wow I am not alone...This is my second ms-6330 K7T Pro motherboard that died all of a sudden on me. I installed a tbred 1.1ghz and within a couple of hours, the MB would just shutoff and never boot up again..If there is a way to fix this plz plz reply. Better yet, do you think MSI has finally fixed this problem because this is my "SECOND" ms-6330 that has died on me. I'm tired of having to send it back everytime it dies on me..I'll be poor by then.
thanks

    PowerBook G4 - Won't Start Up - 3 Strange Beeps then just LED flashes and sudden death - black screen.
    Prior that the powerbook also couldn't start but I could see the Apple logo, so via fire-wire (holding T at start up) I backed up the hard disk.
    Check via DiskToolPro the structure, defragmented. Via DiskWarrior rebuild the directory
    and finally not been able to access the drive I reformatted the drive via fire-wire drive.
    Re-started the powerbook holding C to boot up from DVD - nothing
    Re-started again and it give me one long beep and black screen. An indication that my 1gig RAM is bad or gone (?) and the DVD is stuck inside.
    Bought new one 1 gig, installed it and now I'm getting only three beeps.
    I tried all, changed the slots several times and nothing.
    I tried more as:
                             c -- to boot from CD (again while the DVD is still inside and I cannot get it out)
                             cmd-opt-p-r -- to Zap the PRAM,
                             cmd-opt-n-v -- to clear NV RAM,
                             cmd-opt-o-f -- to boot into open firmware … and nothing. The DVD is in and I have 
                                                    black screen with three beeps and flashing LED.
    Do I have to replace the Logic Board?   (Anyone has a spare one ?)
    But it is the faulty Logic board?
    Could anyone help me out? Please.
    I'm retired and I cannot afford a new laptop - and this powerbook was a great, great horse for me until that horrible set of three beeps.
    Thank you in advance for any advice and help.

    But it is the faulty Logic board?
    There was a known issue with LBs in 15-inch PowerBooks with 1.5 and 1.67Ghz processors in which one RAM slot would fail. There once was a repair extension program that fixed the problem at no cost, but it is long-expired.
    The problem with seeking a used logic board for these models is that so many had their boards replaced that it increases the chances of the boards in the used/pulled markets having the same problem you have now. The replacement program also came close to exhausting the supply of new boards,
    If it turns out to be a bad LB and you can't find a replacement, consider how used computer pricing works: A used computer is worth hugely more in parts than if bought as a working unit. I.E, you can probably find a working PowerBook that will cost less than the logic bard alone. It also possible to find a used MacBook Pro for less that a replacement LB.
    If you tell us your approximate geographic location, we can see what's available nearby. I'm also retired, and and visiting my wife's family this week so have even more time than usual to help you search.

  • Output error, sudden death..

    Having a problem with my output jack.
    The output worked perfectly with headphones and speakers but suddenly now I realize the jack is dead.
    Tried to connect a set of JBL Creature II speakers but they don't work, work perfectly with both Ipod and MacBook Pro though so nothing wrong with the speakers. Then I've tried diferrent kinds of headphones and headsets all with no sound. The input seems dead too.
    In System preferences > Sound everything seems correct, it switches normally from internal speakers to headphones when I plug in/plug out, definitely no problem with the internal speakers but no sound what so ever from the output and input.
    Usually I use a Bluetooth headset and havn't been using other speakers than the internal ones for a while so I got a little surprised now.. Worked just perfectly some month ago with a set of Creative Gigaworks T3.
    No "weird" system changes done, nothing special I noticed that could have caused it. Just.. Sudden death?
    Is this some kind of software problem? π_π
    What do you think guys?

    Thank you very much for your concern and sorry for the delay, I've been buried in other stuff lately..
    Anyway, nothing with the output key works for me. Not sure though what exactly you're telling me to do hehe, just click on it and keep the output key down?
    Not the 'output' key. Press and hold the OPTION key while clicking on the volume icon at the top of your menu bar.
    What do you see?

  • I had PSE 12 installed on my Mac that died a sudden death yesterday.

    I had PSE 12 installed on my Mac that died a sudden death yesterday. I can't find anywhere to download 12....everything takes me to 13. After spending $$$$$$ on a new computer, I can't outlay another $79 to upgrade to 13. Anyone have any advice for me?

  • Keeps rebooting -- Sudden death

    Hi,
    When waking up this morning I found my Z3 Dual sim to be countinously rebooting. After a this keeping for a long time, I managed the tips of managing to shut it of. 
    I found the fix and held down power + down and up volume. It vibrated a 3 times but nothing happening. Did it again a few times and nothing happend. Tried it again a few times and now it has gone to sudden death mode.. 
    Black screen, nothing is happening. All attempts on trying to do a hard reset is failing. 
    Stopped by my local Sony store, but I only had 20 minutes, thus never got any service. 
    Any ideas?

    I've replied to the question you posted in my thread about sudden death.

  • Sudden death on Intel iMac 2.8 GHz

    I bought a new off-the-shelf iMac 2.8 GHz three days ago. Since then, the machine has suddenly died three times. No kernel panic, no gray shades coming down, no other warning--the screen just instantly goes black. After the first incident, it started up right away. Second time, it would not start at all. I pressed to power button a couple of times and at one point the machine growled (was this the fan going into overdrive?). Finally, I pressed and held the button til I heard a long beep. It started again. But I have also had another sudden death since then. Has anyone else experienced this sudden death? Because it did not invovle a kernel panic, does this rule out bad ram issues? Thanks.

    It may be that the fans are not cooling the machine correctly. Resetting the system management controller can solve this problem. Read the following support article for instructions on how to do this.

  • Which 6330 board do I have??

    can someone please tell me exactly how to find out which 6330 board I have?  It is supposed to be the Lite version, but it has the jumper that allows me to run an Athlon Thunderbird 1.3 @133 FSB.......
    I cant tell if I have the Lite or the LE3 version....

    Well you could always take off your case, and look some where between your pci slots. You should see the label, it should have a name for example k7t turbo ver. 3 or something in that manner.

  • Sudden Death due to corrupt SD card/ virus?

    Bought an Xperia Z3 Compact less than a month back and was extremely happy using it. However, within the first 3 weeks, it suddenly died on me while browsing. Took it to the local Sony service center who said they'll check for hardware faults, if any. 2 days later, they returned it back to me with nothing more than OS software update.  Within the next 24 hours, the phone died once again and this time I tried every trick I read online. Volume up+Power button. Long pressing the yellow hard reset button. Nothing worked. Feeling frustrated, I confronted the service centre reps telling them its not a software related issue. As it was bound to happen, the phone restarted normally at the store. Now it didn't look like there was any problem with the phone.  The explanation provided by the service centre was that there's no issue with the phone. Instead, I might be having a corrupted SD card that may possibly be infected with a virus. Went back home and checked with AVG anti-virus (paid version) and didn't find any signs of infection. The only remaining possibility is that my office laptop might have some virus since I often use it to charge my cellphone.  My questions to experts - Is this possible? Does an SD card or virus have anything to do with the sudden death problem? How do I fix it because even the service centre refuses to acknowledge any problem? What's the point of such a good phone if I can't rely on it to work all the time?

  • X220 battery sudden death

    Hi, my quite new x220 with 9-cell  battery  was working perfectly fine last week and the battery life was excellent with the battery condition at somewhere around 90%.
    The laptop was left to hibernate for bit less than a week and when I tried turning it back on it had no life, finally I connected the power supply and the laptop started but the power manager showed that the battery has failed due to normal wear.
    This seems really strange considering the battery was perfectly fine the last time I used it and the cycle count is just 10. As the laptop is used the battery is allready out of warranty and I really would not like to buy new battery when the other one was basically unused.
    So is there anything I could do or do I have to buy a new one?

    This is almost known issue. Lenovo consider different battery manufacturers as "similar" battery component but the quality differs significantly. The best are Panasonic ones, the worst Sanyo. Unfortunately there is no way to get battery made by exact manufacturer.
    You have to buy a new one, Lenovo does not care about well-known failing components. I am sure you can find more related reports about Sanyo batteries (made for Lenovo) https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/9-Cell-Battery-just-DIED-not-by-normal-wea...
    You might try to complain about poor battery quality in General Discussion forum http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/General-Discussion/bd-p/Special_Interest_General
    I was also "lucky" to get the Sanyo one in my X220 so I'm waiting for its sudden death as well. There is nothing I can do about that.

  • SUDDENLY SLEEPING Sudden death.

    SUDDENLY SLEEPING. Like, I'd be typing along, with the powercord plugged in and a full battery charge, and the display goes blank and the whole machine sounds like it's going into hibernation. somtimes I have to take the main battery out and press the power key so there is no light coming from the pumping heart light in front of the PB. After that I plug the powercord back in and VOILA it starts up, with a warning that the clock is set to a date before 19 somthing and some apps will behave erraticly. the clock actually set it self to 1970. I have done all the resettings of Prams etc etc, I have even changed the logicboard, but still, ZZZzzzZZ sudden sleep/death. should I change the battery within the machin, could the two batterys within be FLAT/DEAD, is this the problem ?? HELP, sudden sleep.

  • Sudden death MSI K7N2

    Hey,
    My system in the signature was functioning well for over 15 months without a hitch.
    As I was using it a few days ago, the system suddenly powered down.
    Tried different PSU's and isolating components, but the board sat there dead.
    If I disconnect the power from the PSU then reconnect, I can press the power button the once, and hear the system power up for like 1/2 a second.  Then drop back to standby.  Pressing power button again and again does nothing - its just dead.
    I've tried resetting the BIOS and all sorts.  All the components work in my new Gigabyte 7N400 replacement.
    Just wondering if anyone know's how I can contact MSI in england?  I've lost my receipt so I need to go direct - unless my supplier is going to be kind.
    Also how long does the RMA process take?  Will I get the same K7N2-L board or something different (or hopefully a better revision!).
    And is there a solution to this problem that I can do?
    Thanks, td4

  • Blackberry Z10 Sudden Death Syndrome

    For some inexplicable reason my Blackberry Z10 has died after a short life of three weeks. It was a quiet passing. She was working fine this morning faithfully taking calls, sending e-mails and reading text messages.  And then she just went to sleep and never woke up. Reinforcements are on the way; however I remain phoneless for the next three to five business days.
    Three to five business days later…
    Newly “certified refurbished” Blackberry Z10 from Verizon arrived then it died. This time death came about two weeks.  She was working awesome receiving texts and checking mail and then she was gone. She died fully charged with no history of dropping or having been coffee’d.
    All attempts at resuscitation were unsuccessful (e.g., removing battery, tethering to computer to force software reload with or without battery, switching battery,  removing memory card, removing SIM card, checking that the white stickers weren’t pink, begging and pleading , crying, etc.)
    I believe that there is a defect in the phone. I think that they should be recalled and replaced with new non-refurbished phones. IMHO.
    In lieu of flowers please send chocolate.

  • Black screen: sudden death?

    Suddenly, the phone stopped responding, screen is black. I've tried reset and restart, no response...that is, no light in the screen, no bar to swipe, no apple logo. nothing at all. at the same time, plugging in yields nothing, no response that indicates charging or connection to powere. I cannot restore because plugging in to laptop similarly does not have any response, so itunes doesn't "know" iphone is there.
    Yes, I do want a new iphone, but would prefer to choose my time....Can you help? Please note that I've done the usual suggestions; I'd appreciate not being told to do what I've just said I've done....

    Brad805's response to someone else's problem was the one I'd not seen before - and it worked. thanks, Brad!
    Keep on computer USB or Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes less than 20 seconds of holding both buttons.
