    is it a faulty nec/tocin ?

    when the laptop came to me, it was locking at win7 installation with psycedelic! screen, i reballed the i960 north bridge/gpu but it didnt work. Then i ordered a new chip and arrived yesterday. after a succesfull soldering, it worked great. i installed win7 without any problem. But then it started to restart every 6-7 minutes, i run into bios setup and change the values about cpu auto voltage or something like that to low,/save restart and its not ressetting now, but it hangs up with corrupt screen graphics showing desktop in drunk mode! (:P) the machine is toshiba a200 or 205 dont remember now today it was really busy, and also it has the cap NEC/TOKIN 0E907. any suggestions ?

    IMO, the NEC/TOKIN caps were responsible for issues like 'Not powering on when charger plugged in' and stuff like that. Hanging up on with corrupt screen graphics is some issue that can be related with ram related. Try swapping your ram.

      Or look closer to VRAM chips. Sometimes needs reflowing...

        Incorrect.

        The Nec/Tokin chips are filtering capacitors for the CPU VRM. They rapidly lose their capacitance over a short time and will cause the instability you are experiencing.

        Get four or five of these:

        Search this forum for the Nec/Tokin thread so you can see an example of how to solder them in. It should solve your problem.

They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

                  Re: is it a faulty nec/tocin ?

                  first i tried with 16 caps, from another mobo's from the same place under the cpu socket. but it didnt work. then i desoldered 2 ea 330 , and 2 ea 33(i didnt check from smd book but i think there're same) caps. and it works great now.
                  i attached the pics i took. hope it helps.

                        Spidey why did you place 2x 330 and 2x33 ?
                        the lowest values for tokin is 900.
                        Just cook it! It's already broken.

                          Hi spidey, was the problem also with only battery connected?.

                              No there wasnt any problem with battery.

                                Can you take a picture of the capacitor you use please. TY!



                                I'm really desperate, I can't find 330uf Tantalum SMD Capacitor 2.5v in our area for my Toshiba Satellite L300-1A3 System Unit.

                                Please help me look for the right Caps at http://philippines.rs-online.com

                                I'm from Philippines, I've been looking all over our city but failed to acquire it. Maybe some kind hearted Pinoy out here can extend assistance in purchasing. Can I ask for your extra 330uf Tantalum SMD Capacitor 2.5v or we can arrange a trade. You can send me the Caps and I'll send you the payment. I need 6-8 pieces of this capacitor.

                                All help is appreciated, TIA!

                                  And the adapter may be too low of rating if it crashes with a corrupted screen.

                                    Seen that happen with a very low cmos battery a few years back, spotted it because the date and time kept altering

                                      Today i met an acer 4736z (mother board is Compal la-4494p) with nec tokin capacitor. At the first it could trigger and run normal with adaptor. Insert the battery without adaptor it could trigger too but didn't run.
                                      Checked all voltages it lost Vcore in this case. Thought it could be the nec tokin capacitor bad, so replaced this capacitor with four 330 other capacitors then inserted the battery it triggered and booted normal.
                                      So i think when nec tokin is bad it only couldn't run normal with adaptor but also with battery

                                        it depends because when you put 4 x 330uf with different voltage rating it works momentarily for a couple of hours then will restart/auto-shutoff due to over heating when the ESR can increase enough to cause circuit malfunction and even component damage thus temperature rises.

                                        Sometimes it is best to put low capacitance value first and observe the cpu if it gets hot as soon as you boot up for a couple of minutes.
