PENTIUM 4 MOTHERBOARD REPAIR - GIGABYTE GA-8IK1100 #restoredwards
Hi everyone, hope you are doing good.
In this video we will dive into a nice repair on a nice Gigabyte motherboard that was saved from the trash.
It is in good shape in spite of bad capacitors and a noisy little fan cooler.
So join me while I recap the bad capacitors, lubricate and clean the fan and heat sink from the chip set to then install it in my big green tower case.
The only thing is that my voice sounds funny sometimes because I was ill and had to edit, it's not the best so sorry for that.
Thanks to Gery for donating this motherboard!
Hope you enjoy the video and if you want you can leave a like and subscribe.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers!

    I broken mine pulling a power cable over the turntables and it caught the arm. pulled it all the way to the right. I think some bearing or something as it started causing skipping and didn't want to move properly. jiggling got it to work but still broken. I'm scared to pull it apart but this video gives me some insight what to look forward to and hopefully replace the part. the arms cost is the same as the whole turntable at the price I bought it decades ago LOL

      I'm not familiar with the amp but if it was in bad shape, it's very particular for that device itself the damage, try to continue troubleshooting for problems. If there's an IC that controls the relay and protect mode, you can start from there and any shorts or small alteration on the board, traces, ground, for example, could trigger protect mode as well.

    Nice video and interesting computer. That pci slot with the small extension is something I never saw. But the chipset drivers are not installed or dont work, I think.

    Very interesting systems. Never seen a socket 7 system with onboard video and audio on a riser card. But that 48 score in 3dbench is very low for a Pentium 120. I have a DTK computer covered on my channel too. But mine is a midtower socket 370 Celeron Mendocino 533mhz with AGP slot. Very strange that it has the DIN keyboard and AT power supply too. I like these cases with the 3 stripes in the front.

      Yes, the OS installed was 32 bit. With external video and other OS hopefully changes for better.

    A good reason to have an XP machine is if you are someone who has any scanners or printers and there are no drivers for them past Windows XP. Yes, there is still a chance it would also work on a Mac but I never owned one and the way they make them difficult to upgrade I never will now! I had a scanner that would work with WIndows up to Windows XP and while it was nothing special. It was a rather slow scanner with a maximum DPI of 600 and did OK for its intended purposes. I liked that it didn't have the cold cathode light that a lot of scanners had earlier on and I paid less than 100 USD for it. Really I may have paid less than 50, not 100 percent sure but it was not at all expensive! It was on sale at the time and that was the main reason I chose it. I got a much better scanner on eBay for $50 although used or it would have been at least $300 to $500 new (it is amazing how expensive those things are!!). Anyhow I just donated the old one since it was still working. It is just that there was no diver support for Windows 7 or higher. The driver would seemingly install but the scanner would just not work on 7 or later. This just shows you the kinds of problems you may run into with old hardware. I am not sure if there would be a driver for it for modern versions of Windows if the manufacturer was still around. Just because a manufacturer is still around older stuff made by them doesn't always support the latest versions of Windows. This may happen with some sound cards at their end of life. I am not 100% sure what decides end of life since sometimes a lot of the ones out there are still functioning. Maybe they just decide they have supported it long enough and need to move on.
