But you DID contact them before the 7 days didn't you? If they just sent correspondence to buy time off for themselves then it's just.... I dunno what to say.... mean??? :mad:

Do you have a copy of your original complaint?

tkpenalty · Jul 3, 2007

This is one of the reasons I will never from overseas...

[I.R.A]_FBi · Jul 4, 2007

i contacted the manufacturer as i opened the box ... but they are tryign to claim that the deliver they delviered it to the other location before it came to me is delivery ... %^& foxxconartists

Ketxxx · Jul 4, 2007

Thats BS. Your totally unresponsible. Get in contact with whatever your equiv is to trading standards.

[I.R.A]_FBi · Jul 4, 2007

yeah but im in Jamaica, they have no clout in the US

MarcusTaz · Jul 4, 2007

Make sure if you solder it you put it in with the correct polarity or it will pop like a firecracker.. That is an eletrolitic cap and they have a - & + poll. Just study the others and the pcb board should be marked... Hope this helps...

[I.R.A]_FBi · Jul 4, 2007

all of them are aligned the same way

MarcusTaz · Jul 4, 2007

Cool just make sure... Now you were saying that the holes do not have solder in them at all? That is strange cause when the make them the board rides over a pan of flux and then a pan of molten solder, so how it missed that one single cap is very strange... If there is solder in the holes you will need a desolder tool. they are cheap... If you are not comfortable with it find a local tv repair shop and ask them to help you out... If it was me I do it for free...

[I.R.A]_FBi · Jul 4, 2007

yeah i was going to carry it to the electronics shop ... got the image here

MarcusTaz · Jul 4, 2007

ok the purple markings on the top of the cap indicate one of the polarity sides and the white on the board shows it polarity side, more then likely you have to match them up.. But if you are not comfortable and you are getting no where with an RMA tehn take it to a shop, but just ask them if they would be kind enough to help you out for free... Tell them what happend and hope they have compassion... I hope it works out for you...

[I.R.A]_FBi · Jul 4, 2007

thanks brah

Doesnt matter, this will come under the sale of goods act or whatever your equiv is, in which case the manufacturer is responsible for suitable replacement or repair for the duration of the manufacturer warrenty period. If your really at a deadend you could try calling neweggs\Foxconns bluf by saying if they are not willing to offer a suitable replacement or repair like they are required to do by international sales laws you will have no option but to take further action against them. Alternatively you could try claiming from the delivery company, but dont hold your breath on that one.

Is it the one next to the PCI-e connector(directly to the left) cause if it is it does not look like it's meant to be there anyway. Pic from a review site:

If it won't boot are you getting any POST beeps or anything??

Cheers,

Gerry.

MarcusTaz · Jul 9, 2007

Bro stick that card in the machine and just see if it boots up... lets us know...

little geek · Jul 9, 2007

buy the exact same card from a shop then solder ur one so its just attached but not working and put it in the box of the new one and send it to the shop saying it doesnt work then u got urself a free working card lol i did it with my wifi stick and my sg-95

xnox202 · Jul 9, 2007

the thing is, if it shouldnt be there, then what's the extra cap doing in his box?

cdawall · Jul 9, 2007

send the card form another address back leave out the cap say it wont post prob solved

actually dont send it back bitch from payphone or somethin till they agree to pay for shipping

DonInKansas · Jul 11, 2007

Was the package insured? You may be able to take it up with USPS.....

PuMA · Jul 11, 2007

if u still want to solder the cap on do this: first check polarity, and place the legs in the holes. Heat the other leg untill the solder melts and push the leg into the hole. Do the same to the other leg, problem solved. Just dont heat the legs more that 10 seconds at a time.
This way u dont have to touch the solder side of the pcb, and avoid shorts.

10 seconds? Get a better soldering iron :laugh:

Can't get the cap too hot or you'll probably kill it. Its like cooking it from the inside out :laugh:

thats what i said, most parts can be heated about 10 sec max, before u do some damage to them lol

umm all the irons are the same, only thing that matters is how dirty it is. If its dirty u can put some solder
on a wet paper and clean it, with the solder on ofcourse

Or not. Theres this nifty little thing called "wattage".

25w works well I've found.. it can be awfully warm sometimes though. A variable iron is pretty nice.
