I realize now I could have polymodded this. But @ 3x the cost of these FR these will do!

18x mostly 1500uf 6.3v & 1000uf 10v + 1 3300uf (will do the rest of the VRMs in time)
Saved the 'worst' board for last. Runs perfectly. Just needs a new CPU retention bracket.Comment

ABit NF7-S Rev 2.0
3x 1000uf 10v ZLH
Not sure why they covered this board in Rubys only to let KZG in around the AGP port. Other NF7 boards here that are non -S inc S2G do not have any KZG & use only Rubys.Comment

These motherboards are all part of my initiation to recapping. I've had the privilege of learning to remove them with a desoldering gun, a Hakko FR-301. It was a sizeable investment but easily the best tool ever.
All boards have been fairly well stress tested for many hours in the Serious Sam 1 TFE OG demo loop, and 3dmarked, and all are stable and function well.
Also every one of these boards bar the NF7 were tested prior with no life at all. No post & no beeps. Each one was a hail mary so to revive them all was a nice surprise.
There are a still quite a few caps on these boards that could be swapped out, but I've mostly gone with what visually looks bad. There are known suspects across a few, like the inputs on the 8RDA3+ & P4S5A but I'll wait for the boards to play up, if they ever do.Comment

Nice, I had a few valuable boards go thru recap, with QDI's BrillianX 1 and Chaintech's 6BJM0 being up next soon.
A few of them.

They look really good, and vs the boards I did, are way more valuable. I like the BX board polymod.
When I first started there was a lot of stitch work not too great but after completing a few more I went back and fixed them up. Even after 250+, I still run into a few unfriendly joints at times.Comment

Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".
It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...07-31-2025, 08:37 PM -
Hello guys,
I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.
I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow... -
Hello,
Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.
So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.
I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,... -
i have a 2020 macbook pro 13" A2251 with 820-09149 logic board so i found an issue with chip labeled U6903 according to schem. boardview using flexBV software, so i removed it from the board and the issue im having is that the chip says "07A08FI ELC180" on top of it but when searching for a replacement chip, i can find tons of identical looking chips that also have "ELC180" printed on them but the first set of digits is never the same so im trying to find out if i need this exact chip with these same numbers as mine and if not which ones are compatible as a replacement?... -
is there any replacement for MPG06J diode?
https://www.vishay.com/docs/88682/mpg06.pdf
It is very hard to find this MPG06J diode in my place.
I think that replacement should have the same ratings with MPG06J, But it is impossible for me to hunt down replacement for MPG06J diode.
Any reply would be appreciated.
