Just wondering what ever came of your BE6 that you bought on Ebay?
Well...
The first one (BE6 II v2.0), I tried to fix myself, and it's a bit hacked up. I don't think they'd RMA it...lol I'm tucking it away, until the day I get up the courage to really attack it w/ a soldering iron.
The 2nd one (BE6 II v1.0) ran, then died. A replacement BIOS chip got it running again. *whew*
If I send the dead v2.0 to Abit, do they do repairs?? (It's gonna need a new cpu slot.)
BTW...I lost the info you sent me about RMA'ing to Abit (not that I really NEED it now (I need to find out if they'll even fix it at this point.
), I did a format/install, and that was one of the things I forgot so save.... (DOH !!)
After all of that w/ the BE6 II's, I got a SH6 from Placid. Works great...
ebola, up until I got burned with the first board there (v2.0), I'd had remarkably good luck thru e-BAY. As mentioned, look for the "not DOA" guarrantee. If you're willing to watch and wait, there's a good deal to be found, if you have patience to wait for it. =)
