    EMachine Recap Success

    Good day, I had to recap a EMachine ECS Board today, it had 5 blown 6.3v 1800uf caps. It was causing shut down on boot to windows, I put in new caps and all s good now.

    Good job on getting the board working again. ECS often uses OST capacitors. I'd recommend replacing all the OST on the board, not just the ones that have obviously failed. See, OST sometimes fail without showing any external signs of leaking or bloating. Even a few off capacitors can cause a computer to run slowly or have stability issues, even if they're not bad enough to cause it to not boot up completely.

      I will take that to heart and change out the other few of them. I did not know they were cheap caps.
