Hello all,
I've been reading the forums here for some time, and I've acquired a great deal of knowledge here. This is my first time posting though.
I've got here two iMac G5 motherboards, with ambient light sensor, no iSight. Part no. 820-1747-A. I recapped both of them with Nichicon HZ caps. After running each of them in a test computer for 24 hours, both of them are bulging the same cap. The location in question is C903, in the grouping below the RAM slots. Value is 1800 uF @ 6.3v. I replaced the cap again on the first board, tested again, bulged again.
Is this a common problem? Is the silk screen on the board wrong? I am positive that I installed the cap correctly, according to the board. Any help is greatly appreciated!
