i have a LSI 9201-16i HBA controller I need to repair. got it off local CL for $100 and thought I got a nice deal, but turns out Port-A has some physical damage I didn't notice. The card boots up fine and everything and I thought it was good to go. been testing it with a 846A backplane and noticed one slot in the backplane didn't recognize the hard drive. swapped cables and such and eventually realized port-A of the LSI 9201-16i wasn't right. took a closer look at the card and noticed some broken capacitors. see picture at C3, C4, C5, and C12.
i blasted off an email to LSI/Broadcom/Avago, but not sure if they will be willing to tell me the specifications of these components. 3ware use to be open about sharing that kind of information, but not sure about LSI and the larger Broadcom/Avago now.
anyone here have an internal contact at LSI that might be able to help? Or, anyone done this repair before and know what those components are?
