Hi all,
I just finished recapping a board that I got from a buddy that had died on him. There were 6 visibly bad caps, so I decided that I would replace them, and see where that got me.
When I try to power on the board though the fpanel connecter with a jumper, I get nothing.(I downloaded the motherboard manual to find out which is the power)
I used Panasonic FM 3300uf 6.3v replacements. (had to work around the size issue which I mistakenly made)
All capacitors are correctly oriented afaik, and leads are all soldered. My friend used the board with bad caps for awhile, so I don't know if this could have caused any other problems, but I assume so.
When I try to power on the board, it does nothing, no fan movement etc..
I don't have a ESR meter to test the rest of the caps, but I was wondering if it is worth trying to replace the others which are mainly 1000uf 6.3v and 1500uf 16v (the latter I don't have any) Or iif there are any other suggestions..
Thanks for any help.
P.S. I also tried removing the battery, and clearing cmos.
