Re: [k5synth] K5M - garbled display/bricked

2014-08-30 by Antoine DeschĂȘnes

Have you tried to look for cold solder joints on the PSU PCB? There might be some unfiltered noise if a capacitor isn't properly soldered. Since it reaches the boot screen you could try resetting the RAM but the only way to do so is by disconnecting the internal battery.
