[jpreville]

I'm posting this to thank you. For the information and the Service of badcaps.net. This was my first motherboard recap. Done for some elderly folks that i new. That realy didn't need a new machine or board. Was really happy on how fast the caps came in the mail.








above is a motherboard holder i built out of wood and some rods.. thought someone might be able to use the idea.. helped me keeps things steady while recapping.

Thanks again

John

Nice. One other thing I usually do with those motherboards is put a 40mm fan over the chipset heatsink. Because these have nVidia chipsets, which have the underfill defect, they need to stay as cool as possible.

Thanks, nice idea. I'm just starting to do mobo recaps; lcd's and psu's, no mobo's yet, parts on order.

Brilliant!
Definitely going in my projects "to do" list when I have time . Up until this point, I would just hold the motherboard with my body (or rest it on one of my hands) while soldering with the other.
Thanks for posting this.

Yup.. your kit! after scouring around at local electronic stores and not finding jack and discovering this website... It worked about perfect.

Thanks Again
