Im recapping some hp dc7700's from ucc kzg series caps to some nichicons and panasonic caps. First board I did worked fine after. Second board went much faster but no video output on boot, and doesn't appear to boot completely (hard to tell since they do a long mem test after removing the cmos battery)
I resoldered all the caps and have the same problem. I decided to test them with my multimeter to look for any differences / dry joint issues, and while 6/7 caps have the standard reaction for resitance check where it beeps for a second and then climbs out of range, 1 cap on the other hand has a steady 18 ohm resistance, should I assume that I soldered that cap wrong (might have solder touching another trace)? or consider that I might have destroyed the cap since it gave me a lot of trouble soldering it / and took like 5 seconds to solder it vs the .5 seconds on most of the other caps.
