The resistor above the one you replaced is broken in half....
Booting Threadripper without a cooler mounted can be difficult - it's a _huge_ LGA socket, so it needs a lot of pressure on the IHS to ensure contact for all the 4000+ pins. It might be that your POST error is just a CPU detection error from insufficient mounting pressure.
Those boards will. Not post without detecting fan connected to it
You and Louis Rossman are my fav repair UA-cam channels, love your content man. You explain everything very clearly.
The customer must've been trying to install the card onto the slot of the MoBo by tossing it from across the room.
imagine it's the FAN detection that is a problem :/
that board needs a cooler to boot lol
you did fix the board cause the LEDs show now, it just needs a cooler
ill take with me a valuable lesson, and thats how to check if the pads where from a resistor or a cap, thank you for sharing
The handling of this motherboard by the costumer is borderline criminal....
I like to see failures it tells honesty and also great customer service. Hope to see a part 2 of this computer
First try to replace the jumper on the network resistor with a 0402 330ohm. Test and if not, later, try replacing the missing 0402 resistor with 0 ohm and the broken one too. You can check on the asus page very high resolution images where you can check that the missing component is a resistor.
Sometimes laptops motherboards do not power on because of a disconnected cooling fan. It could be a similar issue.
I would not think of booting a Threadripper without a heatsink, not even for a few seconds. Those things are 300W beasts, they will overheat in a split second. Also, an SSD plugged in but not screwed down may not help the booting process :)
Love these kind of repairs, Especially when it comes to Motherboards, Graphics cards etc. Seriously though I'm baffled how some of these items come in so badly damaged when it comes to deep numerous scratches across the PCBs, How do people manage to do this! :D
with missing components, I google for a hi-res image and try to compare the missing component to others on the board , something I can identify. Usually its a correct ID
My question.. How can someone purchase such an expensive motherboard, for a high end computer.... And treat it so badly?
The board is a state!
Who ever owns that, really shouldnt be touching computers!
Shame it didn’t fix. Would love to see a follow up if you can compare to working board to try and work out what’s wrong. 🙏
And great to hear the T-shirts are coming 👍👌
Not easy to fix strange board without an electrical schematics.
I think a coffee cup with a small damaged circuit and a cartoon image of Alex's head and speech bubble saying "What kind of Hiroshima do we have here?" would be awesome for a merch idea.
I like it you show your failures. I can have a habit of going ballistic if I fail. I am learning something here. Thanks
Feel like the MOBO was soft-locking itself due to no cooler on the CPU. Without any cooler plugged into cpu fan 1 port i dont think you will receive a boot.
Yes we do like to watch not only laptop motherboards repair !.
Really should try reseating the CPU. Threadripper, Threadripper Pro and Epyc CPUs (TR4 and sWRX8 sockets) are *REALLY* finicky about even mounting pressure, not uncommon to need at least a couple of seating attempts before it will post.
are you kidding me? how did he manage to mess up a Sage lol , people do find ways to screw things up lol
this motherboard is God tier haha
Keep us updated! Very interesting video!
Q Code 00 is no CPU or CPU not recognized. Try with a different CPU or check the VRM. Can happen because of BIOS also but the customer did try the second BIOS and hence I suspect the CPU or the VRM.
Greatly appreciate the no repair vids. Very teachable
Having this kind of expertise at the ready for 50 extera bux is a bargain! Incredible work
Man that motherboard surely was mishandled.There were a lot of edge chipping on that motherboard. Maybe the internal layers got damaged. 🙄
How on earth did that board get so mangled up
Great video! Customers like these confuse me so much, the motherboard is completely wasted its not like he's going to use it why not just leave it until its fixed.
The back plate is for rigidity, mobo dont heat up all that much, safe for the back of the CPU and the chipset
you can look up a picture of the motherboard and try to look up the component that is missing, it might give you some clue of what that component might be
I never set my wallet down on the counter ... it stays in my hands until everything that needs to go back into it is inside. Other things can wait on the counter, not my wallet.
Great Effort and experienced and educated suggestions to the solution :)
Selfish I know, but more PC component based video's please :)
Thanks.
Complexity level was very high but you did great job Sir
Love the videos! Also, can't wait for the *Like Factory* shirts to be made.
Did the customer drag this board behind his car for a few miles?
best channel on youtube
Gotta love these TOOLS that have to have the baddest and biggest computer…..
For a presentation!???
Me? I have several fast computers, but several more “normal” ones, so I will never, ever have to pay $200 or more dollars to fix a $150 board!!
Better than factory... I love it!
Great video!
You should have tried to put a capacitor instead like the one below it and test if it will work.
Although the 3 pin chip points that this should be a resistor like you mentioned in the video.
The SuperIO has alot of capacitors around it so it may be the issue.
And you can try searching the chip on the internet, sometimes you can find a little of information about the pinout of the chip.
Great video and content as always!😊
The problem is that the guy had a second identical board and he didn't bring it with him... it would be a lot easier to identify the problematic part and the actual value of the missing component!
a capacitor would have a path leading to ground that's why he tested the pads beforehand to rule out it being a missing cap
that said these type of boards can be a pain in the ass to diagnose because any little thing can cause it to not post..improper ram config, missing fan, triggered sensor etc
Is there a way to display the meter readings on screen? That would be very cool! Great video, you inspire me to be a better person in general.
why was he rocking the gpu back and forth in the first place??
00 is Board or CPU dead, especially on TR Plattforms it might be wrong installation of the CPU so that it doesnt make a nice connection to the socket.
This kind of boards hould not be sold to customers like that. What a mayhem on that board! Would you let that guy install your graphics card?!?? I would not let him closer than 10 km from my stuff!
Interesting stuff and a joy to watch.
i call bullshit on this happening when inserting a GPU in a PCIE slot.. this looks more like DROP DAMAGE or intentional damage than a installment failure
great work.... id love to be able to do this and have the knowledge you have.... top man 👍
It'd be safe to assume the motherboard is in much better condition than the customer
Hello from Croatia, very nice interesting videos you have there !!! tnx for great content !!!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the 00 error code is corrupt the data on the CMOS on ASUS motherboards.
You can download the correct BIOS software on a flash drive and put it in the bioslot on the motherboard.
And another reason why I like Asus because they have dual BIOS. So depending on what board you have you can flip a switch and it should switch to the other BIOS. However any overclocking he may have done on the original bios will be gone.
ASUS motherboards are relatively easier to troubleshoot. Hence why I'm a fanboy.
6:06 could be a leak, maybe
I want a “The cat piss is out of control” coffee cup.
Great to see the diagnosis process. Shame about how the board was treated by the customer.
For this kind repairs, time should not be an issue. Customer should plan that. Leave service to do his job without tension an pressure.
How do u destroy a motherboard like that?
I wonder what made the Customer seesaw the video card?
Great job like all ways
When you run this many components, you have to ISOLATE YOUR GROUND. Use Nylon Standoffs on all the screw pads except for one closest to eATX and then check your levels.
Love and respect from LIBYA 😘😘😍🥰
00 error code is usually evil spirits, it needs some milk
He could have asked someone to click pic of the same motherboard he has at his office would be great option i guess
It's not the problem but the M.2 SSD shouldn't be floating in the air like that when connected and powered on. Screw it down or bad connection could lead to further problems or possible failure of the SSD. You're lucky it didn't make it worst. Nice job sharing surveillance video with customer. +1 karma.
Your work is great...so customer has no problem to pay extra for one day work...
Great one man.
I am also running a computer repair shop in India. lots of time customer deny for paying the repair attempt fee. most of time the customer arguing with us like " No fix means No Fee".
You could use a digital caliper to measure those tiny components.
Come on people, be honest about what happened. It allows us to help you much easier!
Looks like he flew a drone into it 🤣
When I watching u r vedio totally lost the world🤩🤩
00 is commonly a processor error, should have tried with another cpu....
No doubt another great video 👍
Excelent work
wtf, did he install it with a hammer or something?!
Hands can slip, just need to not be working in a good position or without enough room for movement and then things start happening
That's a $1000 motherboard if you're wondering.
how can you scratch one of the best motherboard ?
Nice video. Love your tools
Alex the Lifesaver
Thanks!
Why didn't the customer just bring in his other working board for you to compare? Or even looking at photos online, sometimes can see details
The missing component looked like a fuse. White fragments over the board, white is usually a fuse?
nah a fuse makes 0 sense there
Customer walks in.
-My name is Jeff
00 is the ram that is not compatible...OR the CPU not having enough pressure and seated badly
I didn't check the manual for the 00 code, but couldn't it be because no CPU Cooler was attached?
Was thinking same thing, error code 00 says "not used" in the manual, which means it isnt turning on far enough for error codes to work
my thoughts exactly. was not expecting to see a boot attempt without a cooler lmao.
lol no, 00 is dead mobo or dead cpu
QCODE 00 means it's NOT an issue with the CPU or a FAN. QCODE 00 means "I cannot even POST" (power-on self-test). That's from my experience of working in IT for nearly 30 years.
Now, after reading the manual of exactly this mainboard: Code 00 means "Not used", which means the mainboard can't even POST and show a correct error code.
This is why I will never buy another Asus sage board ever again.
2 dead boards for no reason other then junk peices if crap. I'll have one sent in for repair soon just awaiting sockets to be received.
Amazing work as always this gives hope you can fix my board otherwise it'll become wall art.
If you want peace of mind just ignore Asus hardware. I don't know why so many people fanboy them. They're just terrible. I only recommend their routers (if you're gonna use it with openwrt). Nothing else from Asus has ever gave me a good experience while being one of the most expensive brands on hardware
The board was not DOA, the customer just damaged it.
@@davidlguerr neither did these Asus ws sage x299 but they lost video signals no reason then got stuck on boot loops with very very very minimal use so trash boards. But if I can revive 1 I'll make it a test bench.
@@hardwarefromthegarbage3446 i still use asus maximus iv extreme genz/gen3 from 2011 and dude its legendary all the features it has and never had problems with it with i7 2600k at 4.9.So you must have had bad luck.
Two of the same board having the same issue with the same owner.. hmmm... It might be a problem with whatever you’re plugging into these boards or how you’re handling them.
OMG , some people should not mess with computers at all . WTF that guy did to the motherboard ? i dont get it ...
Just think if manufacturers actually allowed for schematic diagrams, this expensive board could have been saved from the land fill.
00 is CPU initiation failure on Asus boards. I had two in past that gave me that dreaded code. Once of them was due to faulty CPU.
Good work
That 00 error could have been an error with the processor. It's never the processor... until it is.
It’s going to be the processor that one time you’re absolutely convinced that it’s not the processor. And your known good processor will somehow die between board swaps...
b6 bad cpu
the customer didn't take very good care of the expensive looking motherboard
what is the function of a 0 ohm resistor?
Did you say 32 4k monitors. Holy shit.
how come you use qtips and not a tooth brush to clean with alcohol ?
You mentioned grinder pens available? Also a link to the pad replacements you used for the first time. Thanks.

Dude I think someone tried playing FIFA with the motherboard... literally
Question. Why some solder points on board are left by default if they have no use?
I don't know where you are located but I want to find someone like you who will allow an internship. I have a lot of skill in computer repair, building systems, imaging computers, networks, etc. I have more than 6 years of experience, letters of recognition and recommendation, etc. I want to learn how to fix computers like you are doing in this computer.
Probably not seeing a fan
