> the first mobo that died in my family's hand is an ECS (LGA 774 platform)... forgot the exact model... mao ni akoang gihimo... akoang gi brush-an ang sulod sa socket... daghan pins nangabawog... unya, akoang gi tagsa2x'g pabarog (straighten) gamit ug twizzer... hehehe... after, ning function sya as normal... walay limpyo2x sa akoang bro... mura'g ning bigay sya kay ni overheat... nag service nila to sa balay to ug 4+ years (almost 5 yrs) from 2007 to 2011...

> the 2nd mobo that died on my hands was my old & trusted PII (slot 1 form factor)... mobo was SOYO... forgot also the exact model... it serves me from 1999 to 2011... 10 yrs in service... but last year, pag abot nko sa balay, pag switch on nako kay ning piti then nanimao'g sunog and PSU... hehehe...

dili lang nako i-apil ang mga bnew mobo sauna na ako ang culprit sa pag ka sunod nila... hahaha... dili man guf "fool proof" ang mobo "power connector/header" sauna... inig mabali, aw, piti dayon... killed 3 to 4 mobos sa akoang pagka danghag... that was in 1993... hehehe...

so far, too many mobos passed in my hands already in this 2+ decades of PC DIY hobby... kana lang duha sa taas ang namatay ug natural death... ang uban, gi pa retire or gi baligya...

[lloyd_joy]

yup, 10 years to nag function... but sad to say, gi kawat last month ang CPU box... gggrrrr... gi butang man nila sa car port kay gi limpyohan... then nang lakaw sila tanan... gi kat2x ang gate... paets... ang components ato kay collection ra ba unta... don;t know unsa'y naguba pagka sikwakoy sa PSU... hhhaaayyyy...

mura'g 45K+ php ang gasto nko ato pag DIY nko bro... during that time... ang GPU ato kay GF Ti4600 AGP 8x (high end sa iyahang panahon)... nice kaayo to'g sound card kay SB Awe 64 Gold w/ 4MB ram... nice kaayo ni sila pang collector's item... himoon ug paper weight... hahaha... ggrrr...
