I am new to this forum so excuse me for posting something that might have been covered before.
I have an IBM Thinkcenter 8143 and the board is made by foxconn and the ibm part number is FRU29R8260 if that helps my upcoming question about a bad cap.
This system stopped working and is out of warranty and after looking at the board I noticed one of the caps was bulging. If you can pull up a picture of this board, it is the cap right next to DIMM 1 and 2. It is a dark brown and goldish looking cap. The numbers on the cap are 1500uf, 10V.
My question is for me to replace this cap, do I need to use the same exact cap with the same numbers or could I use a different cap with highger or lower V or higher or lower uf? I work for an education insitution and we have older p4 computer laying around that are out of service than I can still a cap off of. I also have a Dell junker that I can still a cap off of as well. The dell machine only has a few caps on it and they are 1000uf, 16v.
Any suggestions, guidance or answers would be appreciated.
Thanks
