    New type of cap failure? Can this board be saved?

    Hello! First post but I've been lurking from time to time.

    I have an industrial PC board manufactured around '99 that I'd like to use. I got it from a flea market but it was boxed and looks like it has never been opened.

    However, some of the caps looks like they couldn't hold it any longer. For this reason, I haven't tried powering up the board yet.

    This looks quite different from the usual bad caps problems discussed on this forum. And EVERY single one of the 6.3V green caps show this leakage (if that's what it is), but not a single one of the other caps.

    What is this stuff?

    Should I use any special procedure to clean the board before trying to desoldering the caps?

    That's just caulk. - Silicon sealer.
    It's used like glue to hold the parts still while they get soldered in.
    Very common practice but not usually on motherboards.

        yup. i've never seen it on motherboards, how strange. I wonder if this 'industrial' board was recapped back 10 years ago. Those are Sanyos, good caps

          What are the date codes on the Sanyos?

              I have an FIC PA2007 Socket 7 mobo (VIA VP2 chipset, no AGP slot) that was manufactured in 1997-1998 with Sanyo caps in some spots:
