Asrock H110M-ITX Faulty Motherboard powers up but does not boot. Can we Repair it?

[@hairulole]

No many channel repair desktop motherboard especially in English. Great tutorial sir

[@GlishaSo]

nice! its crazy how much problems we all have with bios last times... like 50/50 repairs of laptops what i do is bios flash crazy

[@tahustvedt]

This is funny. I have an old H170 ITX motherboard that behaved exactly like yours and I also figured it was the BIOS weeks ago but I couldn't for the life of me find the BIOS IC on the motherboard to reflash so I shelved it. when I saw your video today I thought I'd see if you maybe had the same problem, but you also ended up suspecting the BIOS so I decided to search for the BIOS IC again. Turns out it was hidden under a plastic trap door that I thought looked like an inductor. The trap door turned out to be an SMD SOIC8 socket, something I have never seen before. I flashed the BIOS and voila, a working motherboard. Thanks!

[@LearnElectronicsRepair]

That's good to hear. I've seen those little 'trap door' things on adapters for my eprom programmer, but never on a motherboard

[@viniciusvbf22]

Just the mini-ITX case itself is worth more than 25 euros around here. I wish I had access to this flea market 😁

[@LearnElectronicsRepair]

There expect there are flea markets in most places. I used to go to them regularly in the UK though they were called 'car boot sales' there and I bought (and sold) many things over the years. Also auctions are a good place to look, especially commercial/liquidation auctions

[@markianclark9645]

Vinicius Fonseca...yes...it's an InWin Chopin version 1...i bought a version 2 without a power supply for 50 pounds from eBay seller (about 60 Euros just for the case)...if it's with a power supply it would be about a 100 Euros...so definitely a bargain at 25...i've been to car boot sales here but i'll never see tech..usually peoples old kitchenware pots cutlery clothes toys and garage junk

ASRock works like a rock.

[@jimnicosia5934]

I used to have the right hand left hand rule. That's where you hold it in your right hand and toss it back and forth from hand to hand. And it will work again.

[@Sydney268]

What do you do now, your girlfriend deals with it?

[@LearnElectronicsRepair]

@@Sydney268 Yeah maybe his girlfriend is good with her hands 😁

Hey Dicky, just want to say a very happy Easter to you and family…🤙🏼🇦🇺 Joe from Australia 🇦🇺🤙🏼🇦🇺🤙🏼

Heya, very nice pc for recording with a view different camera's. hope you will show us your new set up wen it all is installed

[@Nepartinis]

It is good you found a cause👍

[@1pcfred]

The cause is it is ASRock. Works for the life of a CMOS battery.

[@sweetsmcgee1823]

Did you happen to compare the bios copy that you dumped vs the good one? It would be an interesting autopsy maybe.

[@gordthor5351]

A lot of newer motherboards don't bleep at start up. That computer can only be 5-6 years old considering the Kaby Lake (7th gen) CPU.

[@josephnealescratchcards]

another nice fix

[@luc_libv_verhaegen]

Did the other CPU come good as well? Also, these H110 motherboards were designed for the skylake (6xxx) series cpus, and needed a bios upgrade to be able to run kaby lake. But how do you update the bios when you have the wrong cpu, and no bios programmer... But since this thing was sold on the flee market, the chances of someone sticking a newer CPU in it and then selling it for 35GBP as "not-working" is pretty low...

[@LearnElectronicsRepair]

Yes both CPU are working. "But how do you update the bios when you have the wrong cpu, and no bios programmer." If it won't boot then you don't, you sit there twiddling your thumbs and ask yourself why one earth you don't own an eprom programmer whens you can buy a CH341A (which will program these 24/25 series eproms used on many motherboards and even GPUs) for less than €5. So why would you *not* own one? I have a CH341A as well as the TL866CS Iused in this video, it works just fine www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005226746307.html?af=ler2022 The ITX PC cost me €25, which is £22 (GBP) actually 😉

[@luc_libv_verhaegen]

@@LearnElectronicsRepair I am not sure anymore as this was 7 or so years ago, but i am pretty certain that i ended up bailing out my dad's kaby lake system (7xxx) with a sky lake (6xxx) of mine. But yeah, a ch341 is on my wishlist, especially since it is well supported by flashrom. 25EUR was a pretty good deal indeed.

[@robtitheridge9708]

sorin is allso having a lot of corupt bios latlely.

[@Denise_in_progress]

Yeah i saw it on his channel, i wonder has it something to do with a Windows update for win 10 and eleven i thought i read something about it

[@jimnicosia5934]

Bios battery.

[@LearnElectronicsRepair]

@@jimnicosia5934 In my experience a discharged battery will mess up the CMOS settings but I can't see how it would corrupt the BIOS, especially with the eprom chip being non volatile read only memory and all that. I mean, in this video I removed and programmed it, took it out of the programmer (no battery) plugged it into the motherboard and it then worked. That kinda disproves your theory, or so it seems.

[@SzymekCRX]

More of NO POST repairs please :) Do You have some waiting to be fixed or looking for some? :)

[@LearnElectronicsRepair]

I have a couple of customer motherboards waiting repair

[@androxilogin]

I was hoping to see if the original CPU was working.

[@daz41262010]

nice fix :)

[@nechen9996]

Had the same kind of issue with an ASRock H170 Pro4 and Z170 Pro4. Both came back with a reflash of the bios. Seems to me that the issues came up after the bios battery had insufficient voltage.

[@Zek205]

Nice

[@bhok5228]

Why so much problems with the bios in the last times?

[@ДимитърАндонов-ъ7е]

because nowadays bioses are big chunk of software (megabytes) and have many potential weak points

[@BenitoiteBaTiSi]

software rot phenomenon?

[@davidhollfelder9940]

I see a graphics card slot, that’s empty. Does the i5-7400 have integrated graphics? Maybe someone tried to update the BIOS/UEFI and “bricked” it?

[@LearnElectronicsRepair]

yeah it has integrated graphics

[@luc_libv_verhaegen]

Yes, unlike amd, intel desktop cpus came/come with integrated graphics. Intel had no separate GPU to sell you for 25 years :)

[@1pcfred]

@@luc_libv_verhaegen AMD has iGPU

[@luc_libv_verhaegen]

​@@1pcfred Only the G variants. Desktop level cpus from amd are more often without integrated graphics than with. Whereas for intel, at least a few years ago, you would have to go with xeons to not have integrated graphics.

[@1pcfred]

@@luc_libv_verhaegen if you don't need an iGPU then it is good to not have to have one. What does an iGPU do when you're not using it? Can the hardware even be used? It annoys me that it's there. There's certainly a cost associated with it that the user is bearing.

[@2009numan]

you must have swapped the bios chip as the original chip had a sticker on it, then it suddenly changed to a chip without a sticker on it

[@LearnElectronicsRepair]

I assume you are joking? How I was supposed to read the part number of the eprom (which I need to select on the programmer) without removing the sticker first?

[@2009numan]

@@LearnElectronicsRepair yeah never though of that actually, I always thought the part number was on the sticker

[@LearnElectronicsRepair]

@@2009numan Nahh that sticker will have the bios revision, if it has anything useful at all
