Motherboard Parts

    Anybody ever had to get any parts for a motherboard before ? I say this because I was replacing a fan on the CPU and the little hook used for attaching the heatsink to the motherboard broke and the screwdriver slipped through and damaged one of those transistory type thingys.

    I showed a guy in work and he's convinced that if he knew what the type of coil was he could replace it. I just managed to break this 1 tiny coil yoke, I don't have a clue what it is but he seemed to know what he was talking about. Needs to know the frequency or something or else it could blow the cpu. All gobbildy gook to me.

    Just wondering would the manufacturers be inclined to reveal those kind of details. It was a MSI mother board the KT3-Ultra2. The label on the motherboard for the damaged component was L14. Would like to try and fix it before buying a brand new motherboard.

    Any info appreciated.

    you could probally find you the inductance with the help of a good multimeter. but to be honest its a real pain in the ass to solder anything on a motherboard espically if it S.M.
    try to return the motherboard first before buying a new one!
