k7vta3 kt333.. grounded?

[mackieboy]

specs..

xp1700+
k7vta3 kt333
256 DDRAMs
GF4 MX440
A4 Tech 4d Optical Mouse
D-Link Modem
Maxtor 40G 7200rpm
Sony 52X
Lite-On 32x12x40x
SAXON case w/ 300W PSU

problem..
turning the AVR "on" (CPU still "off") would make the lights of the optical mouse turn on & produce a constant minimum sound on the speaker (mahinang mahina lang naman). what could be the problem?

scenarios..
-my previous set-up was ok.. same spec but with xp1500+ & k7s5a. no lights on optical mouse & no sound on speaker after turning the AVR on.

-i already removed the mobo from the case and tested it only with the proc, ddrams, vidcard, keyboard & mouse (placed on top of the mobo's box) used the saxon's PSU and still same problem.

-checked the PC Health on the k7vta3's bios and the 12v reports out 13.1v.

need your help on this guys..
-if ever the mobo is the problem, at least i can bring it asap and ask for the replacement since it was bought only last oct 5, 2002

-if ever the PSU is the problem, i'll have it checked asap before it ruins eveything..

-is it possible that the AVR is the culprit?

thanks a lot!

sounds like a defective mobo to me

[just_whistle]

papalitan mo na lang yung mobo mo. most shops allow this within a week or two of purchase. consumers shouldn't be forced to eat lemons.

uuuyyy SAXON!! saan mo nabili and how much ? :D

I forgot where I have read this, but try checking if the PCs power cable and the speaker wires have crossed each other or near each other. As far as my memory can serve me, the AC in the PCs power cable can cause signal interference to the speaker wires. Thus causing the sound. Don't know if this is true. Try mo lang, malay mo gumana. :D Anyway, what's your speakers. I have a friend who's BOKA speakers is producing some humming sound also after he switched his AVR on. But he has different mobo. :D

:jbravo:

This is on an unrelated note, but my PC is grounded when the AVR is *off* :confused4: already tried the power supply at three different places (home, school, villman katips) and it really gives an irritating shock when the AVR is off

Anyway, is there a way to test if something is grounded without touching it?!? the shocks get to you after a while. :fume:

OT to, anyway...

ano naging sira? 110V yan pare..
good working condition lahat yan nung kinuha mo sakin. we even tested it sa bahay namin bago mo kinuha lahat ng items. baka na-plug yan sa 220V, sira nga yan. ang baba nga ng bili mo diyan, 2G seagate hdisk, I-Cute 1286 case & the 14inch monitor for 2500 lang lahat..

[mackieboy]

hindi na ito OT..

thanks sa mga suggestions niyo..
i think i'll try to return the mobo and have it tested and replaced if found defective.

if it conked out due to my recklessness, i would not have posted it here.

so. are you implying that because its 'mura' , its ok to sell things that are 'near-death'?

[kAeDe_LuKaWa]

hey!! mackieboy, halos pareho tayo ng set-up ah!! well, the problem na na-encounter ko naman is laging nag-ha-hang system ko .. binalik ko dun sa store yung cpu ko to have it checked .. the board was the problem .. pinalitan nila ..

OT:
btw, ganda ng Saxon na kasing .. you can monitor the temperature .. heheh ..

I got the same irritating shocks, even if the AVR is OFF!!!! Dunno whats the reason, perhaps a defect in AVR. Of course, when my PC is on, casing is grounded....

[mackieboy]

rodex, hindi po yan near death nung binili mo. we have tested it several times before you bought it. not my fault. all the items i have sold have no problems. see all my feedbacks/comments from other sites.

the speaker was the culprit for my probelm.

I had experienced that also. But I theorized that there were still stored electrical currents in the PSU. Just my opinion though. :D

yeah 'several' . as in 3 X 1 minute.

Aminin mo na. you are tentative during the time i bought it from you. you knew that its junkshop material when you sold that BS to me.

[mackieboy]

rodex,

ok, soli mo dito sakin. babayaran kita para hindi sumama loob mo.
hindi ako marunong mang-lamang sa kapwa.
but pls be fair.

bumili ka sakin ng:
i-cute 1286 300W case PSU - sells at around 1800
2G Seagate HDisk - sells at around 1000
at 14 inch Monitor. - sabi mo sira, eh di hindi na pwede ibenta.

binili mo sakin yan lahat all for P2,500.
pagsinoli mo sakin yang monitor, magkano bibigay ko sayo na pera?
pls be fair enough.

okidoks!

[rodex]

according to your original post:

http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=117859

you're selling the monitor for P1200 BUT i'm fair enough so just give me back P1k

okie?

[mackieboy]

kung babalik ko sayo 1000, lumalabas na nabili mo yung slightly used na i-cute 1286 300W case at 2.1G seagate hardisk ng 1500.
do you think it is fair?

put yourself in my shoes, sa tingin mo fair na balik ang 1000 pesos for the "sirang monitor" (accorcing to you) someone bought it kasama ng bundle items na I-cute 1286, 2.1G Seagate Hdisk all for 2,500.

fair ba yun? balik mo kaya yung 1000?

[V0N]

isoli nyo na *** lahat ng items nyo para walang away! basta ba yung monitor *** *** defective eh. :D

[rodex]

mackieboy,

pinaikot ikot mo pa ako, get to the point: HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO RETURN? kung di lang tayo magkasundo sa presyo e mas mabuti pa soli ko na sa iyo lahat.

[mackieboy]

500?

[rodex]

NGEEK. kulang pa iyan pang gasolina papunta sa inyo. :(

[mackieboy]

btw, have you checked the cables pala. baka kasi hindi talaga sira yung monitor, yung cables lang.

anyway, i sent you a PM.
