      Re: Dell Sx280 Motherboard Caps

      They are 16v on my sx280 and according to Troy Brown at thecapking.com, that's what they should be. I'm actually about to try to replace them along with a few others in the next day or so. If it works, I'll let you know.

      peace

          the 1500uF caps in those positions are 16v. they are on the 12v rail, so if you put 6.3v caps in there, they will blow almost immediately.

              Dell Optiplex 3060 Micro USFF (IPCFL-CG Motherboard) - No LED / Short Circuit
              by thinkcentre
              Hello,

              this is my first post at Badcaps and in general i am new to fixing electronics. I am looking forward to learn a bit more about diagnosing and repairing :-)

              What I have around is a DELL OPTIPLEX 3060 Micro (USFF), which is not powering on, even not showing any signs of life (No amber / white LED).
              I got a original 65W DELL PSU / Power brick (PA-12 / 074VT4) which hopefull should be the correct one. I could get another DELL PSU with the Partnumber 0G6J41 with the same 4.9mm DC Jack connector as the one I already have, but I dont think that would help (maybe...

              9th Gen Dell Optiplex Micro PC motherboard repair: Short Circuit?
              by Geeker007
              Hi All, I have a 9th Gen Dell Optiplex micro PC motherboard which doesn't power on. When I connect the motherboard with power adapter, it goes into safe mode and turns off. So from info I have gathered online, it looks like there is a short circuit on the motherboard. So can you guys help me with figuring out the issue?

              I am new to electronics repair, so my queries could be naive but I am ready to learn.

              So I have a multimeter and a solder with me. But I can try to get a variable voltage power supply with a thermal camera as well. From what I seen online, best way is...

              Dell Latitude 5350 Ultra 7 Motherboard
              by Julian Bailey
              Hi

              I have a Dell Latitude 5350 Ultra 7 Motherboard I am trying to repair that has a blown chip.

              The chip is marked as eHOLH similar to the one I have pictured.

              Any ideas what it does and what the pin outs are as 3 tracks have gone and need to find out what / where they went / did etc.

              Dell PN of the motherboard is 08DCGW.




              Below is the area I am trying to repair:



              Does anyone have a picture of this motherboard in this area they could take and upload?

              Cheers...

              Need Advice On Which Caps To Buy For Dell Dimension 8300 Motherboard
              by TMTGTR
              The Symptom:

              I own a Dell Dimension 8300 motherboard that will post and get to the black (XP pro 32bit) “We're Sorry Windows did not load” Screen.

              When restarting any option i.e. “Normal” “Safe Mode” etc. Computer re-boots to same screen. I checked RAM with memtest –OK Checked O/S Drive with Victoria -OK

              Upon Inspection:

              I did a physical examination and see that the 6 caps by the CPU are all bulging in various degrees. (See Pics Below).

              I found a YouTube vid with a guy who replaced these 6 caps and the computer works fine....

              Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
              by Bowline
              My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

              Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

              My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
              The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
              I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...
