Default Re: Dell OptiPlex GX270 - multiple bad cap failures

Question; is there anybody who has seen SEVENTEEN swollen or busted caps on a GX270's motherboard. BTW one of mine had a 1500uf 6.5v cap swollen and oozing; it was the only one. I recapped it with a (thought to be) good cap and I got no video even with a good vid card. It posted fine otherwise. We have eight or so machines that have swollen caps and were short on PC's at the store so out came the soldering iron. Business will have to be VERY dead before we do recapping at the store. Just wondering if it's worth it to do ten (average failed caps in the bunch)on a board?
