Hi all,
I feel a complete novice in this present company, although I'm an experienced tinkerer in some other areas (high quality bicycles, some car stuff). I have also had some success repairing water damaged cell phones.
I love the best dumpster finds thread already, it's right up my alley! I hate perfectly repairable stuff going to landfill, or even recycling stuff for materials, when reuse would be 1000 times better.
The query is, I've assembled a PC based on an Intel D865PERL from 2003 with a P4 2.8GHz, and it's going great. But to boot it up it frequently takes 3 or so pushes of the power button. It just "bumps" the PS and fans momentarily on the first couple of goes. No bad caps as far as I can tell but I'm now alerted to the Nichicon HM and HN problems from that time by this forum.
I've looked in the forum but can't see anything relevant, surely it's well known to someone on here?
Many thanks
Henry
