Where to buy 100% true Rubycon capacitor

Re: Where to buy 100% true Rubycon capacitor

What kit did you get? None one kit costs more than around $80 (the PSU repair value pack).

Yes, preventative recapping is always a good idea. Usually, I try to avoid getting hardware with junk caps, but if I do, then I often recap it before it fails.

@C_hegge

Actually, I bought the Asus A7N8X capacitor kit, for my recap project.
Yes, you are right it does not cost USD$80, but since I based at overseas,
after doing the currency conversion, I forked out approx. 100 dollars in
my own country currency.

Hopefully, those caps will revive my A7N8X-Deluxe Motherboard.
I am just having this problem, it can boot up but after about a few seconds,
the motherboard just stops, and I unplug & replug the power cable at my
PSU, in order to boot the motherboard up and run POST, that is the only
way. But even though, it is doing POST, after a few seconds,
it will completely shut down after running about 1 mins top.

I have tested the motherboard using 2 different make of PSU,
problem. I don't think the PSUs are faulty.

Thank you

Just be extra careful with how you install the capacitors, because Asus and Asrock use the negative strip for the positive side of the capacitor on the motherboard.

I mean the negative strips will not match, like in this picture:

Thanks for the reminder, I notice about the labellings on the Asus and Asrock
motherboard.

That is by convention, the half circle that is completed filled, should be
NEGATIVE logically, following modern capacitors has its "-" negative side
completely filled.

However, that is totally the opposite in Asus and Asrock motherboards, the
half circle that is completed filled is identify as "+" positive side.

Rest assure that I will use a fine tip marker pen, label the motherboard
surface as which sides are "+" and "-" first before recapping the capacitors.

Thank you.
