been threatening to do this for a while.it needed a recap and its mine.
i dont like to do things like this to a customers unit until the mod is proven.
this board was a trade in that imho had little chance to survive.
the 3.3v vrm was well cooked by badcaps gone too far.

for much worse damage.
lucky me found the 2 output caps had shorted and saved the northbridge and ram.then the mosfet went open.
so now comes the poly mod.
stable at 150 mhz fsb.
