Fisrt of all id like to congratuate this forum's users for posting do much good info about vmods and stuff.. (I looove vmod.. :) vmoded my G2MX and my dragon + so far)
Here's what happened,last week i put ramsinks in he back os the card and smart that I am i didnt notice that there were some capacitors around the ram chips that were higher than the chips themselfs..
yeah.. burnt one of them... :banana:
after i noticed what i'd done i took of the ramsinks and cleaned all the thermal paste (silicon based, non conductor) and saw this:
"pic" (http://www.ogremondigital.hpg.ig.com.br/Figs/MSI%20T4200%20=(%20copy.jpg)
yeah.. sux...
so i turned i on and my draggy acused it of being dead.. i tried remaking the "solder casing" eith ASII(dont ask me why I did this..) and it booted foir 2 mins and them died.. tried to usereal solder nd it accused it again of bing dead.. I gave up.. :(
I e-mailed MSI and im wating for their answer about RMA..
if I dont succed in RMA'ing it i would like trying to repair it.. (if there's a way of doing so)
so, what would happen if I rippd that Ramchip of?? and if i ripped the little capacitor thingie?? would it work?? (im not really stupid for asking rhis, since my MX here is working vmoded and heavy oc'ed withut one of those..):stick:
Thanks!
