      You'll need the low ESR ones. The 1000uF or 1200uF 6.3v (or 10v) would do if they are of good brand low ESR Japanese capacitor.

      You'll also need to inspect further, is the cap near the cpu socket? Are there any similar caps on the mobo? What is the diameter? You should replace them too if the problem sill exist after recapping. IMO your chance of success is great if the mobo still able to POST before the recapping..

      This is the caps i recommend:
      1000uF & 1200uF 8mm 10v Caps
      1000uF & 1200uF 10mm 10v Caps
      days are so short when you actually do something..

          Newbie about to dive in with the leads. Safety advice please.
          by Cappy Oligan
          I'm new to electronic repair. Trying to troubleshoot a Dell monitor that only has an AC port for power. I'm concerned about safety and not getting shocked. Should I order an isolation transformer and plug in the monitor into that and proceed with testing the board inside? Or should I get a DC power supply and limit the amps and connect the voltage to a pin somewhere inside where 19V DC is first expected? Or both? Thanks.

          Seeking Advice: Repairing Dell U3425WE Monitor with Faulty USB-C/Thunderbolt Ports
          by Borse2008
          Hi everyone,

          Looking for some advice or opinions on what to do with a monitor issue I’ve run into. Apologies in advance is this crossovers a few forum categories.

          I have a Dell U3425WE, which I've recently replaced with another model. That said, the original unit is still fully functional in terms of the display — it works perfectly over HDMI and DisplayPort. However, the USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 ports have stopped functioning correctly. The Issue:
          • The 90W Thunderbolt 4 port (circled in the photo) no longer charges or powers any device, including laptops or MacBooks.

          Mosfet Advice
          by Green Probe
          Hi, Im looking to replace some EMP21N03 mosfets on an Alienware motherboard, but I'm having trouble finding a legit supplier. The ones that are available from China have pictures with the engraved logo looking very scratchy and sketchy. Nobody in the US sells them. I'm trying to find a compatible mosfet, but I'm not well versed enough to be confident im making the right choice. Does anyone have a suggestion or advice that could help me find the right mosfet? Thanks!

          Gigabyte Eagle 3060 Ti - Boardview / Advice request please
          by user234
          Hi all,

          Recently installed a new motherboard but during the process I seemed to have damaged my Gigabyte Eagle 3060 Ti card.

          My motherboard ROG STRIX B550-A is detecting an issue with the VGA (light ON)

          I have attached 2 photo's of my GPU board, one above and the other is what I believe to be the 5V - as you can see, this has visual damage so looks suspicious to me.

          If I replace this part what are the odds this will resolve the issue? - any additional information on where to source the parts would be much apricated too!

          This is...

          Advice on rewiring this stepup transformer?
          by artvandalai
          I bought this Chinese made step up transformer to run some 220v appliances. Some of the wires were brittle and broke off. I attempted to improve some of the wiring with spade terminals and heatshrink tubing as the wires were just soldered straight to the connectors. Any advice on how to rewire the broken wires on this step up transformer? I'm unsure how to go about rewiring this to a better safe working condition.
