I was in the middle of a heatsink fan upgrade since the one it had i died....So it was kinda stuck to the CPU so i had to use my screwdriver to see if it would help, well it sliped and landed on a chip on the motherboard it moved a little bit but not much that its too lose. I wasn't appyling alot of force to it but when it landed on the motherboard it still moved out of its spot alittle. That happned about a week ago, today i took my screwdriver and was tapping it but it didnt move so im guessing its still intacked? But im afraid that if i turn it on something may go wrong or it will work but in the future it may fall out....Is there a way it can be fixed?.And another thing what are those things? and what is it for? The Mohterboard is a Chaintech 7VIF4Pic Here are some pics (*Note My Camera Suxs*) PIC 1 PIC 2
Na, its still pretty intacked i tryed move it to see if it was lose but its not that lose i didnt wanna move it hard enough so it would come off the MB. BTW wut are those things?
Looks like a resistor by my guess. You may be okay powering it on, but that's not a 100% guarantee. Likely, you'd have instability if anything, but again, I'm not 100% positive.
Things just has gotten worse, I put the motherboard upside down to see if it would of fall off and it DID... the dam thing is so small i need a magnifying glass to see it. Now my question is if it can be reparied?
lol I think that its to late for that, its been over a year now that i got it. I email chaintech support and they say i could try soldering it, but the thing is to small and i have no solderin skills.. i could mess the mobo more up....
lol not really its on a zip lock bag. I was reading on some forums that it wont afect the MB normal activity. its just something so small i think its not even 1CM, so tiny i think i can eat it and i think i'll be aright...lol
Hmmm, the transistors are so small in a CPU that they are invisble to the naked eye. Size doesn't matter.
i dont know what it is resitors, transitors... etc. but its very small. and theres alot of them on every motherboard they have a tanish color.
