@@SUCRA Yes I guess with more practice soldering skills really improve every time. I still want to learn it, too, but I don't even know where to start. Did you have a kind of teacher or did you do it all purely by self-education/learning-by-doing?
For desoldering I can highly recommend a vacuum desoldering station. Professional ones are expensive but there are cheaper chinese stations. This tool is making desoldering 100 times easier .
Great work! I have a similar PIII board that took a lot of TLC to bring back to working order. Your video brought back some scary memories of soldering and capping!
Some boards are just tough to work on.The dual sided ones with surface mount components especially. Closed holes, poor heat transfer, lifted pads, oh my. Nice work. Maybe some de-oxit on the contacts would help ? I've had synthesizers where I removed and re-seated chips several times
Well despite crappy soldering you been lucky enough to get it posted. To the soldering technique, you shouldn't be over joint more than 2-3 sec, always refresh old solder but with LEADED one, always use good quality flux more then less, after clean mess with IPA, if you getting problems with solder remains use solder wick.
Hello Bruno! So, you had power to spin the heatsink cooler but the board would not post until you reseated all the peripherals and CPU many times? I have an exact Abit board, won't post but all good caps. Maybe I'll try this soon!
Haha a bit cringy of this video, an early one. Yeah, basically the contacts probably had some oxidation, friction helps get rid of that so re-sitting the components a few times can help. I hope my next recap job turns out a little better than this 😂
I have one which I recapped a few months ago and it worked. Now it makes repeating long beep sound and does not boot. I’ll give a try with the reseating the components. Thank you for the video :)
Look up which error is indicated by your BIOS via continously long beeps so you know what might be the culprit. So if you have a BIOS made by Award search for the following: award bios error beep codes
@@xorwcnrssk oh nice, they're good if you can recap it. I've gotten a bit better since this video, this was my first recap ever and it didn't turn out great.
I have a asus P3V4X slot 1 motherboard and have a weird issue, right now I'm running a pentium3 500mhz 100mhz fsb and works great but when I swap in a pentium3 with a 133mhz fsb it doesn't wanna boot. The board totally supports it and I used to run a P3 1ghz with this same board but now it doesn't like it. Caps look good and is fine with 100mhz fsd, it's got me scratching my head.
well I have also a mobo from '98 that doesn't post anymore. No image no nothing. just the cpu fan spinnin. I'm bout to give it up soon :( could be so much things that causes the death of the board
@@SUCRA ok but I doubt that a cap change will work wonders?! They do not leak. have you ever used a PCI Debug card? Mine doesn' show any diggits either :(
Haven't used one, sorry. You're right, I wouldn't assume it's a capacitor issue if they're not bulging. But just to contextualize, caps can go out of spec without bulging. And the bad thing is, you can only measure it if you remove them from the PCB. Good luck with your mobo! If you can't fix it, I hope you can find another one.
Bom jogo! Curto demais. Ele é um pouco mais recente, 2003. Deve rodar mal, mas acho que roda com uma placa de vídeo boa. Próximo video que mexer no pentium III eu ponho esse! Abraço
Any 440BX board saved is an heroic feat! Kudos!
Thanks man! This was a while ago, I like to think I have gotten better at soldering, but I still need to work on it a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks, it is one of my dream tools. I'll see about the Chinese ones.

Oh this video is cringy haha. These non existing soldering skills are definitely a work in progress for me. Thanks! 👍
I Just got that combo today, it wasnt posting , so im cleaning al the slots. thanks for the info.
Good luck, I hope it works out!
Shazam! Have you tried pulling it off and plugging it back together? Hahaha!
HAHAHAHAHA Hello, I.T., did you try turning it off and on again?

Thanks. I do think I need to do this again properly.
This is awesome!
Thank you
Great job there, buddy!
Thanks! Always a pleasure having you. =*
It's aliveeeeee... Again
Yes, and now its giving me a big headache because I probably didn't do a very good job. lol

Yeah thanks, I'm still not great at it, but I've gotten a tiny bit better since this video was released.
I just assemble things, I have no idea about capacitors voltage, connections, etc. nice skills dude!
Thanks buddy. At your service, by the way.

Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I would love to hear if you manage to fix yours.

I have a BH6 that I found at a dumpster, it works but the caps are bulgy

I really enjoy soldering but removing caps from motherboards sucks without a Hakko desoldering gun and at over $300 that's crazy.
Yeah I'm definitely getting one for those at some point.
good video

Yep, many things can go wrong like broken tracks, bad chips, bad CPU socket or slot. Caps are just one thing that are very common.

@@SUCRA lol it's my 3rd of the same I used in 1998. 2nd was already dead and this one only worked half a year now. I have to give it up
Maybe another component is stressing the Mobo, like the PSU?
