    i just found that my motherboard has a bulged caps nearly the VGA card. it has a two bulged caps.
    the question is that possible i am using my common soldering iron to changes the caps before my motherboard failed affected by that bad caps? i don't have a hot air on my tools. the caps is just like usual caps, not likes a SMD components need a hot air.. so i just wanna asking before replace it. i don't wanna makes my motherboard failed of course without knowing what i will do.

    i don't know if my thread has a wrong place because i am new here.. excuse me please.

      Fujitsu U757 - help with identifying what STM32F103 is doing. Can i replace 7th gen motherboard with 8th gen?
      by Mini1
      Hey. I have a Fujitsu U757 motherboard with number CP732277. And i want to replace it with U758 motherboard like with CP755900 or whatever U758 series motherboard. U747/U757(7th gen CPU) all motherboards look exactly same so i'm sure it won't matter which one to use. But i would like to upgrade a bit and get U748/U758(8th gen CPU) motherboard. Motherboards all look exactly same layout as U747/U757, but i found one chip is soldered on U747/U757 which U748/U758 doesn't have. It is STM32F103 MCU which is near screen connector. And i'm not sure will U748/U758 motherboard will work with my U757 laptop....

      Abit BE6-II motherboard
      by ziplock
      Greetings,

      I have an Abit BE6-II motherboard that posts sporadically with the bare minimum components installed - CPU, RAM, PSU, and a Keyboard. I know it posts when the speaker beeps. Re-seating the components has no effect.

      I thought the sporadic posting might be capacitor related. Upon inspection, non of the caps are bulged or leaking and they are all original. So, I pulled them ALL. While the ESR is OK, over half of them are leaking current between 1 and 2 mA. The biggest offenders are way out of spec, like a 1500uf / 6.3V measuring 2600uF and many of the 820uF caps...

      Asus ROG Strix Scar G533qm with a G733qm Motherboard, can I modify the Bios to accept G533 Bios
      by glovecaps
      Hello,

      I have a Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 (G533QM) that had a dead motherboard (Graphics card dead) and after trying to fix the motherboard with no success, I bit the bullet on a sale for a new motherboard. I ordered a motherboard for the 15 inch model which is the one that I have, and when the motherboard arrived it wasn't for a little while that I saw it was from the 17 inch model.

      My question is, can I update the Bios on this G733 motherboard to a G533 Bios.

      The reason for wanting to do this is that the keyboard isn't working as it should, and I think this...

      Legion Y540 17irh motherboard issue ( need help to know how to diagnose my motherboard)
      by Docus
      Hi everyone 😀,

      I'm here today to ask for help with repairing the motherboard of a Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH.

      To give you some context, I'm passionate about computer repair so much so that I've invested in a lot of tools and started practicing on dead and old hardware. I've been learning how to solder and desolder components, mostly focusing on phone repairs.

      Recently, I bought a broken Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH for just €150, and there are two main reasons why I made this purchase:
      1. I already own the exact same model, but its plastic chassis is badly damaged.

      Lenovo Legion 5 16ACH6H NM-D562 replace motherboard with NM-D601
      by sopik78
      Hello everyone,

      I would like to ask if it is possible to replace the motherboard for the Lenovo Legion 5 16ACH6H NM-D562 with the NM-D601, which has a less powerful RTX 3050 chip. Has anyone tried this? NM-D562 is significantly more expensive than NM-D601.

      Thank you.
