@Clipper The source is good and I don't think you have something absurd like a 14900KS and a 3090TI...

I'm going to give you a very drastic solution that I WOULD NOT DO. But it is a valid option...

Alright, PCIe connectors have a common part which is the first part that is the pins for power. The rest, which is where there are different "sizes", are the data lines. The more lines, the more bandwidth, and the faster the data transfer speed.

Now comes the "destroyer" DIY... Well, if you dare, you can cut the stop that is in the back that makes the PCI card not fit. If you decide, you have to do it very carefully so as not to damage any pin of the connector...

Anyway, I'm giving you a tip that I would never do on my main board...

BENDITOS MIS OJOS!!!! What a surprise to see you around here @quique

HEYYY!!!

The years go by, but we're still geeks! I'm still working in IT, so even though I left this forum, I've always been involved in the scene, and I've kept seeing some veterans around here, or I've run into them in other places (physical or virtual).

The truth is that it makes me a little sad to see the forums (this one or others) being a shadow of what they were in the two thousands, but I suppose that to a certain extent it was inevitable. Now it seems that the problems of social networks are getting out of hand, and the reaction is a return to the small: https://uxdesign.cc/small-is-the-new-big-in-social-1f2c9ab4ab43
I suppose everything is cyclical.

By the way, I still have two Abit NF7 that were yours before Now they're part of my retrocomputing collection

Best regards.

@nightcode1 Wow, positive surprise, I'm very happy that in the end it came back to life without any major problems.

Enjoy it again

Best regards

I have made the measurements with the tester... and indeed they give 4.9v on several pins.
On the other hand, I have tried to do the whole process with another different laptop and the results have been these:

• In detect, on the left side the values are at 0.
• The reading process reaches 100%, although there is no data
  then it no longer allows you to perform the following steps....
  Here I have several doubts:

1. The chip recognizes and works well with the 4.9v, and the problem is found in a bad connection of the clamp.
2. The chip is blank or fried.
3. How can you check the status of the chip (25Q32BV) in a simple way (Without oscilloscope)

I connected the drive to other computers with Windows and Linux. I even took the drive out of its packaging and connected it directly through the SATA interface, but it didn't work.

I managed to find a solution on the Internet.

First, I managed to create a copy of the damaged drive with the help of "HDD Raw Copy Tool".

I loaded "Hetman Partition Recovery", the program found my RAW drive and ran a full scan. It found most of my files and recovered them successfully. Of course, not all files could be recovered, but I was lucky: I was able to recover the most important ones.

@Sylver said in monitor turns off when connecting to cpu:

@nightcode1 okay, I just saw in the first photo you attached that it does have a speaker integrated into the board (in this case named BUZ, from buzzer).
If removing absolutely all components except processor and power supply doesn't emit any beep, it's possible that there is some internal damage to the board that is very difficult to identify, as we have no way to guide ourselves...

You can also see a swollen capacitor in the first photo. It doesn't have to be the cause of the problem, but if it has been like this for a long time, it's evident that it hasn't filtered the current at the point where it was planned to do so and it may have damaged the internal component it served.

With no response from the board, everything points to there being some internal damage.

What happened when you didn't connect the P4 and tried to boot was that the board didn't detect the power supply for the CPU and the reaction is usually like that, fan at maximum and doesn't turn on.

If by any chance the board's buzzer didn't work (it's rare), you could try mounting a PCI-express graphics card directly and see if there was any luck, but everything points to the board being damaged internally as I told you.

hello friend, in effect I disconnected everything and only left the P4, P20 speaker connected and nothing that emits beeps, the power supply turns on but no beeps I don't have a tester so I'll have to send it for review to at least know what it has

@darko De nada hombre
I hope the new team meets your expectations, you will tell us your impressions.

Regards!

@Sylver I will have to investigate what you say about messing with editing programs, it's something I've been putting off for years.

Regarding Driver, I've been meaning to play it as I don't know why I only tried it a little back in the day and didn't delve deeper. And I thought it was such a movie-like story to be a cop going undercover.

By the way, I couldn't resist and bought "Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft", I'll be able to install it on February 14th when it's released. I can't help it!! when it comes to your favorite games with me, they make more money than I'd like to admit
It's definitely going to be one of the best Valentines I've ever had

Best regards!!
