    Hello There, Im new with a question

    Hi there,
    Ive found this site through some research on badcaps.
    Ive got an old Abit SE6 lying around with crusty caps on it.
    Id like to recap it: A. because id like to use it for an ftp server with some old components lying around.
    B. I want to practice recapping, and this board has got plenty.
    My question is, what caps are available, from where? for this board.
    It currently has 20x Jackon 1500uf 6.3v 8mmx16mm 105.C
    Ive read that these buggers were the original cause of many failures.
    My second question refers to my current system, as a rule of thumb when overclocking, what would you recommend for replacing caps in high heat systems, more capacitance, higher voltage, higher running temps????
    My third question is, i have an old Radeon 9700 Pro that is acting up, when i boot the display is corrupted, and when i install drivers it fails.
    Could this be badcaps, they all look ok, and are of good quality (Rubycon 470uf 10v ZA), or has anyone had any experience with graphic cards.

    Thanks guys, chat soon

    here are the links for uk suppliers

    Farnell for Panasonic FC, Rubycon ZL / RS for Panasonic FC, FM
    Digikey (USA) for Chemicon, Nichicon, Panasonic FM

    United Kingdom - Digikey - http://uk.digikey.com/
    United Kingdom - Farnell - http://uk.farnell.com/
    United Kingdom - RS Components - http://rswww.com/
    RS Components - Pansonic FC
    RS Components - Panasonic FM

    also Elfa (sweden) for Sanyo MV-WX
    http://www.elfa.se/en/

    check the widths available though

    are you going to be putting it in a 1U rack case or something? i think 105oC good caps would be fine really. i would be more worried about hard disk cooling in a server.

        any solder sucker is fine, not for using on the holes though, might damage them with that. its useful for picking up excessive gobs of solder from leads, or removing connectors. i have started not locking it but just pushing the lever down half way to get just adequate pressure

        you definitely need some micro wire cutters

        any decent brand of solder is fine. i am using alpha-fry 60/40 0.8mm 2.2% flux. It is a roll of 0.5kg (recommended to not get a little 100g reel cos they take the piss with the prices) i paid 13 euro

        need some flux-off spray and normal cotton buds

        need dental pick or sewing needle.

          I've found that most sewing needles are nickel plated and will stick in the hole. By chance and some luck I discovered that sewing machine needles are usually made of stainless steel. I just cut off the top with the eye, and screwed it in a piece of electrical block. Works like a charm

              That looks good willawake. I use the stainless picks and I have a Stanley Tool screw driver kit, it has an awl in it that I also use, works pretty good. No pic to share though.

                Yes, my needle comes through completely clean. It's a sewing machine needle of the Falk brand. All the sewing needles I've tried has been sticking either directly, or after a few holes poked through.
                I've done some research, and even found a webpage done by a woman who has nickel allergy, and she complained of the impossible task of finding nickel free sewing needles.

                  thanks so much fellas, ive been looking around and found a solder sucker, some neddles and ive yet to decide on solder and flux.
                  i found a nice micro flux applicator pen, anyone ever used these before.
                  its designed for pcb's etc made by trace technologies.
                  Also, what UK retailer is recommended for good products?

                  Thanks in advance

                    3.5 mm headphone jack missing
                    by paparazzo79
                    Hi guys,
                    I purchased used MSI GE 73 Raider laptop used from a guy.When laptop came home I noticed that there is no "golden circle connector" on the headphoner jack (pic below).
                    I contacted the seller, he told me like it was there and it probably fell off.
                    I am not dumb, is he lying to me or it is possible that in the shipping it really fell off?
                    Oer laptop is missing whole connector.
                    The headphone jack works normally,I have tested it with headphones....

                    Minisforum GN31 Bios request
                    by fl00b
                    A friend gave me this little box he had lying in the bottom of his desk drawer after he put it away while trying to repair it himself a while back. He thought it had a corrupted bios and removed the chip, but can't find the chip anymore so it's basically useless right now. I can't seem to find a bios file available for download, so if anyone happens to have one of these, could you post a copy of your bios and also let me know what bios chip it uses so I can try to repair it?

                    Thanks in advance!

                    Hardware firewall to block ad servers?
                    by Hondaman
                    I found an interesting summary on a wiki that Youtube "right to repair" enthusiast Louis Rossman put up. He suggested I could use a hardware firewall and pfSense as a firewall, and use pfSenseNG as an ad blocker. Or use OPNSense as a similar alternative. Seems like it would be easy to set up, but it only runs on the hardware supported by BSD. (I'm sure the developers and maintainers of BSD are super-busy and cannot support every single piece of hardware out there, so I can't fault them.)

                    The trick, apparently, is to "assign IP address lists from sites like I-blocklist...

                    by Moosiv
                    Morning all, I have a head scratcher if anyone can help. I have a Lenovo thinkpad 14 gen 4 (schematic attached). Plug charger in and it negotiates 20v but the USB C controller (UT2) Wont't drop pin 1 & pin 40 low to enable 20v to pass through UT5 to BQ (PU1). I've replaced all three chips with no change. However, I decided to test with a lenovo charger plug which I had lying around, this has a USB A socket so I used a A-C Cable, now this stays at 5v but pins 1 and 40 drop low and 5v flows to the BQ and actually charges the battery cycling 350ma to 1.2a draw on the charger. I have manually...

                    PSU killing components?
                    by grss1982
                    Hi everyone! Been a while!

                    So I have a CM MWE 750 Bronze - V2 PSU powering the following:

                    Ryzen 5 3400G
                    Gigabyte B450 Auorus Motherboard
                    32GB DDR4-3600 (2x16)
                    ASUS TUF 1660 TI 6GB DDR6
                    1TB NVME

                    This was purchased by a friend about 3 years ago for her kid and now it showing signs of instability. The PC had this problem of the screen becoming garbled after it was booted up and idling in Windows. It also sometimes gets a BSOD. So I did some stress test by starting with Prime 95 and noticed that the torture test just fails and stops immediately....
