Hello all, I am currently having much fun with a cheap Dell Precision 690 that I got because its as old as dirt and doesn't want to work. NOTE: This unit is decently beat up so that possibly could've caused some problems. 2007 unit that seems that it was last used in 2017, modded by somebody, but I removed a few of the mods and replaced the OEM GPU.
0MY171 - A01 Board
Dual Quad Xeon E5335
32GB Samsung ECC DDR2 RAM
GeForce GTX 745 GPU
1000w PSU
Fresh CMOS battery
320GB SATA Seagate Barracuda
Dual SATA LG DVD drives
SD-Card multireader
BIOS Ver A08
Two capacitors blown at C165 (top right of RAM) / and C136 (bottom right of RAM)
System will not show any display now, it used to work intermittently but now does noting.
Tried all my GPUs, multiple monitors, and multiple batteries and it will not output anything.
Weird thing is that the GPU still gets power and the unit powers up completely normal, but it won't have a display. Also found that status light 4 stays on when the unit is off, which is supposed to indicate a BIOS Checksum Failure, but shouldn't that be impossible with the unit off?
With that being said, is the BIOS Checksum and whatever is with the GPU tied to either C165 or C136? I couldn't really find anything about the capacitors on this board from a quick search, and if they aren't tied to either one what are they for?
Any help would be appreciated!
