Recap question

[Scavenger]

I was originally Solder Boy here on the forums now I'm Scavenger ( don't ask lol)

Anyhooo after a long abscence from recapping motherboards, I decided to tackle a couple of boards yesterday... the first one had no video and I recapped it and it worked no problems... I thought great!,let's try another.

The 2nd one is a ASRock GE Pro-M2, it's problem was that it would turn on but no video. It had 5 blown capacitors that were the small ones 6.3 Volt 1000uf caps. I replaced them with OST ones. Anyway turned it on, and voila I had video Then to my dismay the board shut off.

Looking on the back of the board, I didn't see any obvious signs of the solder on the traces, which would be not hard to do because of the way this board was designed.

I don't have an ESR meter to check the caps I used... I'm guessing the caps I used must be bad... would that be a correct assumption?

Re: Recap question

If they're OSTs and not brand new, there's quite a chance that they are.
The fact that the old ones obviously were dead gives me the feeling that the other ones on the mainboard might be dead, too.
Might as well be PSU related.
