    Jetway V6DP

    Heres another board I have, I got this off e-bay so when I found this site I had the sudden inclination to check the caps. Im not sure about the ones next to the CPU socket, are they raising a little or do they normally look like that?

      Typical GSC crap. If you value your board and/or your data, recap it prior to returning it to service.

          They look OK on the photos. But they might not remain OK after a year of use (or 2 years or 6 months - nobody knows).

              no they dont look ok. some caps are starting preliminary bulges around the vents. it may take a while they will be puking orange in the future and the board will be unstable. better to recap soon and enjoy the board how the designers wished it had become.

                  Thanks all, it confirms what I feared - that the CPU ones are bulging a little and I can't expect any better from the others either. Fortunately those photos show the majority of the caps so its not too many to replace, though I certainly do not find the prospect appealing none the less.

                  I will have to get the board out and check the values on those caps then pay a friendly visit to rswww.com, unless anyone knows of a better place in the UK for them. Id see if I could pull some off another board but I wouldnt know if they were any better.

                      Even Topcat may disagree with that!! Because if you see what appears to be little bulges around the seems and not in the middle, then that might be just the cap manufacturing process!

                          well they need replaced anyway, bulging or not.

                              The bulging is equivocal. I've seen that kind of bulging on some brand new, name brand, caps. And I've seen it be the initial bulging in caps I've been torturing, caps that eventually vented.

                              If they're a brand that tends to fail, replacement now might save headaches later. There must be a Johnny Cochrane-esque quip in that: "If the caps a crap, they're going to zap."
