Good night This week I saw a spark inside the cabinet, I didn't care as I thought it was the RGB. Today I opened the case to take a look and noticed some "leaked" components. I dont know if this is ok or damaged. Not easy to see, enlarging the image became very clear. My doubts, what components are these and is it possible that they are burned? I'm using the computer right now, what I noticed is that the speakers (usb) are making a noise after the problem. I should stop using it, theres any risk? Im on a Ryzen 1600, Rx 5700, cx650w corsair, 2400mhz ram. I am attaching the photos. I appreciate the help.      |

ASRock has very good service, hence if you still have warranty, then I SERIOUSLY recommend you send it for repair. I put my money they will polish it like new. Mine came back polished !!! a scratch mark from the shop dealership was touched up till nearly invincible. I used to see it 2 meters away, but now can't see, unless I go near 6 inches. and possibly upgrade/improve whatever they found out dated, like wrong oily thermal pads etc.... So, downtime is the trade off for a fresh newly refurbished motherboard. If not may be more sparks and more problem in the future???? best get it fixed while within warranty period. ------------- x370taichi@3.50gen4 AX750 Optane900P SN770 3800x PosdonZro4 BarrowPWM-17w>420x140x28 XFX SWFT319 6900XT MSI RX560 LP to get Fluid Motion BlueskyFRC 75hz |
