Motherboard,It just went, burnt, for no reason,I sent it

It just went, burnt, for no reason, I sent it to repair and it burnt the new motherboard while they were testing it ... I didnt have it connected when that happened either.
It was running on battery, the battery was low and i wasnt home so I turned it off, got homa about 15 mins later, tried turning it on, and NOTHING... thats when i brought it to a repair shop and they told me that it was the motherboard, but that it had BURNT.they installed a new one and while testing the same thing happened.

What could burn a new mother board?
strange though, there was no fire nor smell of smoke

Usually a "fried" motherboard will result from a faulty AC adapter / power supply. If the voltage it provides is too high, kiss the motherboard good bye! Most adapters output voltages around 18-19 volts at around 90 watts. If the adapter malfunctions, the voltages do not have to go much above the range to cause havoc.

If the repair shop did not FIRST check the voltage of the AC adapter before plugging it into a new motherboard, I would seriously consider a new repair shop!

GE side by side fridge HSS25IFMDWW burnt pin on relay on main board and compressor not running. Tested compressor and it runs okay. What would cause the burnt pin?


Most times the motherboard is the problem that causes the solder to melt from a defective relay. You will need to inspect the compressor start relay and capacitor to insure that they did not cause the relay on the board to overheat. Also check that you have 12 volts dc going to the evaporator and condenser fans while running because if for some reason the fans are defective and you change the motherboard while one of the fan motors are defective your new motherboard again can be damaged. Here is a link to a=> Artica/Profile Service Manual

Here is a motherboard test photo=> Artica Profile Tech Sheet I will be glad to help answer any questions you may have Thanks Sea Breeze

My Dell optiplex gx 270 tower's chipset heats up and system shuts down and my friend's gx270 mother board is burnt due to same reasons

check the Cmos battery and computer RAM modules make sure they are securely seated with no dust built up or in the sockets on some motherboards cmos batteries are soldered in

check you CPU make sure its securely seated and has thermal grease might be getting to hot


another possible reason could be a memory dump you might be running to many programs at the one time putting to much strain on the CPU central processing unit


hope this helps

Pc board burnt

If the motherboard is burnt then it is not repairable. You need a new motherboard or a new laptop. The better choice would be a new laptop.

I have bought the biggest lemon in this tv than ive ever seen before..shortly after buying it, i had green swirly lines throughout the whole picture...had 2 repair guys out here,1 replaced the "mother...

Lamps have a limited life. They useually last 1000 hours or so. If the TV is on from 07:00 until say 23:00 every day, that equates to 60 days.
There is no such lamp as a "One time replacement lamp" as they do not last for ever.
The average life of a lamp is just about 6 months.
If the picture is cloudy is probably needs the optice cleaning. It is very fiddly and damage can occur easily so get an authorised Hitachi repair service department to clean it for you. It should be carried out in your home and will take less than an hour. If anything gets broken, it is not your problem if they are heavy handed.

Hope that helps.

My Compaq presario CQ40-108TU [LA - 4101P] power supply was burnt. How to repair without replacing the whole motherboard

The problem is that a lot of the time when a power supply goes it takes the motherboard with it. If your lucky your motherboard is still good. You can purchase a new power supply fairly cheap depending on what you want. The only way to know if you motherboard is still good you can have it checked at a repair shop, or get a new power supply and see if it works, the choice is yours.

Dell E1505 speakers melted, New speakers smell burnt too.

The speakers are heating up because there is a short in the audio circuitry on the mother board, and I would consider you extremely lucky if that is all that is over drawing current and heating up. You may get lucky and be able to connect external speakers to get sound without melting your laptop.
