One or all?

[The_YongGrand]

I'm planning to recap my MSI-5184 m/b. But, I have only a few of them I could buy and the rest of the caps I couldn't find yet in my place. So, I plan to replace only 3 out of 9 bad caps. The severe bad caps are near the DIP switches (ah, those little flip-switches - maybe something to do with Voltage core or whatsoever)...

So is replacing 1/3 of bad caps removes 1/3 of all the problems? What if when I replace 1/3 then the problem is solved and ignore the rest? Please advise...

Bad idea not replacing all badcaps. Even if 1 badcap is left, you could still get the symptoms and finally motherboard failure.
