Fixed: ANOTHER Dead T23? Motherboard/Video issues (PICS)

[tfflivemb2]

Some capacitors are polarized.

I stand corrected.

Only partially corrected, since there are some capacitors that are polarized...however, you are correct that the inductors can go back on in either direction, according to several reports here in the forum.

NOTE: I kept the different snips together for continuity, but trimmed out the extra spacing in between.

Unless, of course, they have THREE (or more) terminals like the one that's above the CPU (A1/A2) on my map of the topside of the T23 motherboard. Although strickly speaking, the third "leg" on that inductor may only be a mounting point and not electrically connected (I didn't bother ohming the thing out before I replaced it).

Correct, I should have said "those two" conductors...not inductors in general.

I always post too soon, but as of right now things are working just fine. Booted up successfully the first time, and hasn't hiccuped...Please keep your fingers crossed for my T23!
