PPC card repair

[Oliver]

Hi Dandy,

'draggled' is not really appropriate here.  It usuallt refers to something wet and dirty, as from being dragged on the ground, or through mud.  If one fell into a creek, one could be said to be bedraggled.

I'm also not sure that they are 'wrap connectors'.  Unfortunately, the term 'pluggable connection' does not hold a one-to-one correspondence with the term 'wrap connection'.

Someone offered the description 'dirty CPU connectors', which I presume is a more apt alternative.

Hope that helps.

Oli

Stachu100 (Stan Sędłak) both repairs and upgrades them.

If you do need to get it fixed the guy in France thats
mentioned here is the guy you want to send it to. I
sent mine to him a year or so ago, he fixed it and
got it back to me in Illinois inside of 30 days like he
said he would and I haven't had any problems with it
since.

I would personally pick Stachu100 for any CSPPC/BPPC repairs. If the problem is traced back to the PPC chip then he has the equipment and expertise to replace it, where as I understand Jean Jacques doesn't offer this service and will only be able offer to unsolder all the PPC components and convert it into a MKIII.

A repair on a PPC card is very much hit and miss. If the problem is caused by something like a broken 68k socket or the PPC has fried then it can usually be repaired, however if the board logic itself has failed then it's very unlikely it can be fixed.

why answer to an ancient thread?

Stan just repaired 3 of my CSPPCs that needed a new flash ROM, replacement of faulty 53C770 SCSI chips and broken solder joints, or it information on repairs unwanted in this forum?

i have pointed to stachu myself when people asked, just wondered why resurrect a thread when none actually asks, it ll not be of much use as soon as it will drop from the front page..

If a couple more people see it while it's on the frontpage (unread messages) and it helps them out it's all good right?
