Re: Dell XPS 600 Mobo Capacitors
Thanks for the help gents! I should be able to find a comparable coil with that. I know it's hit or miss, but my brother can't afford to replace his whole mobo right now (poor college student), so it's kind of this or bust.
Edit: It's pretty obvious from the arcing and scorch marks that it was the coil that bit it, and took the local caps with in. The MOSFETs still look good, but should I replace them anyways, just to be safe? It's mostly superficial damage to the PCB, not real scoring or pitting, just discoloration, so we will see if it works or not. Like you said, if the nVidia bit it, it will be moot, but let's cross our fingers on that!
