I think I bricked my DFI LP UT Ultra-D
 

I think I must have reinstalled the chipset HS so that it shorted something out.......is the only thing that makes any sense to me. I took everything apart and let it sit overnight to no avail.

Any suggestions? :keeporder:.........currently hunting for another board that I cannot afford.

What are the symptoms? Does it even power on, does power on but only posts to a certain point or what?

All I get is the standby LED. No POST at all...no beeps or anything.

EDIT: and I'm sure the chipset cooler is on there evenly now.

you can remove the motherboard heatsinks and just check if it can post...

Just as dead with no HS on the chipset..........ohh well it's not as bad as bringing home a wrecked snowmobile.

The guy I got it from suggested baking it at 350 for 15 minutes.....isn't that what you do with a GPU?

Have reset the CMOS as well as pulled the battery and let it sit for awhile without the battery in?

350F ...thats where some solder melts..lmao..he's an idiot.....when i say melt...components will fall off.

Common solder alloys are mixtures of tin and lead, respectively:

• 63/37: melts at 183 °C (361 °F) (eutectic: the only mixture that melts at a point, instead of over a range)
• 60/40: melts between 183–190 °C (361–374 °F)
• 50/50: melts between 185–215 °C (365–419 °F)

Yup I let it sit all night but you know what I haven't tried and am going to right now is another cpu. BRB.

And I didn't follow his advice....I figured I should ask first.


EDIT: not the cpu.

What do the 4 red LED's stop on?

So does that mean you wont get to bench that FX55? bummer.
