Well some of you may remember awhile ago I mentioned one of my 6300s died. I suspected the power supply, as it had those symptoms(I.E. resetting randomly, HD parking automatically, like it does when powering down, even though PC was on) so I tossed it into the closet and called phooey on it. Last night I decided to experiment. I pulled a known good mobo out of my secondary PC(the other 6300) and swapped the mobos, so I could test a known good mobo with a suspected power supply. To my amazement, it worked perfectly. I checked all of the switches and chips on the board, and it all checks out. I guess the board just randomly died. I know the video is good, though, seems I used that with the testing. At least now I know. If anyone needs any chips from the 6300, let me know. I have everything for offer except the CPU-3Z and the NPU i8087. I have memory chips I pulled that totals to 387KB, and will fit in two banks of memory. I even have the BIOS, V1.1. So if anyone has a similar problem with the 6300, don't jump to the power supply!
