Looking for the Sage box and accessories, specifically the VGA cable. Trying to revive a busted board…
Well, since I really don’t have the time to continue the search for the vga cable to try to identify what’s wrong with this mobo, I’m happy to give it away to someone else who’s willing to have a go.
It does not come with any accessories, BMC is not accessible via LAN (at least I can’t make it, but the leds suggest everything is in order). There’s a couple of bent but what it looks like working pins.
I only ask of you to request the board if you have a genuine interest in debugging/fixing it and you’re willing to pay for the shipping. Location is California.
I’d volunteer to toss that board under one of our binocular microscopes here and get the socket straightened out since it really doesn’t look that bad, but unfortunately I don’t have any kind of CPU to test with. So not much I could do with it sadly.
Hope someone who knows what they’re doing gets their hands on this; if it’s mainly the socket causing problems, that looks 100% repairable with the right tools as long as they don’t make a bigger mess out of it. It’d be a shame if someone just attacked a $1000 motherboard with a pair of tweezers on their kitchen table and made it worse.
Oh we europeans and the UK had a lot of practice with them during the last 2 years But as long as you treat it like you do with e.g. Japan, it’ll be fine.
