Ok so...... I'm down to two boards with problems..... they are both in the same area, even though they are 2 different model mobos. I circled the area i am talking about.... what the heck does this part do and is there any way to replace it?
thanks for the help guys and girls.
pics below:
This is a TA-082. There was no cover where the solder is.... i looked at another 82 mobo and there was something (a resistor maybe) there.... so i just heaped solder on it like a dumbarse.... still didnt work though....
EDIT: I have another TA-082 mobo and it has a little silver thing on it in the same place as where i dumped solder.... has '400k' etched into it.....
This one (below) is a TA-079....... it looks like its all there, but there were small scorch marks under the little thinger there.......
