Hi everyone,
i have a Quadra 840 AV board that has been recapped and worked in the past. Recently it's been giving me some trouble. When I turned on the motherboard, I saw that the boot screen came up as expected. When I restarted the thing, all I got was a black screen...no boot up screen...nothing. After multiple restarts, I'm starting to get a little worried that something has happened to it. I know these 840 AV board are notorious for being finicky and having really bad capacitor leaks, but since it has been recapped, I see how the latter could be a problem in this case. Also, I know its not the power supply as that was also recapped.
In the past I've read about a few people on here that have been brave enough to try and repair/troubleshoot 840 AV boards. I was wondering if there is anyone out there that can help me out? I'm afraid I've done everything I can think of to get this thing to work again, including changing the ram sticks. I think expert hands are needed in this case. Please let me know if you are able to help out.
Thanks very much!
