    Should I recap Bestec?

    Hi. I have bought a HP PC in 2007 and since then I had thrown out board, CPU, graphics, etc.

    Right now the only thing in it that's from the original setup are the case and the PSU.

    The PSU is a Bestec and to be honest I had not experienced any trouble with that thing as the computer runs fine and I do tons of LAN gaming with it.

    Should I look in it though and recap it or is it not such an emergency?

    Cheers

    Depends on the model. If it is an ATX-250-12E, dump it as that model has flaws in its 5vsb rail which cause it to overshoot 5 Volts after a few years use and fry the motherboard. If it's an ATX-___-12Z, it will be fine after a re-cap.
    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

    No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

      Thank you. I opened that bastard up and saw CapXon and Teapo. Enough reason for me to change them

        Can I use 1500uF instead of 1000uF on one cap?

        Can I use 6.3V Rubycon MBZ instead of 10V 2200uF CapXon/TEAPO?

              Alright, I did that and plugged it in (from good 5 meters distance s nothing explodes into my face X) - success for now the green light came on and now I have to test it. Hopefully it will work

                  Yay it works

                  You'll get pics tomorrow because I don't feel like opening the thing again right now =P

                  It pretty much looks like your recap though
