Hello guys,
I need an explanation from more experienced guys regarding the replacement of faulty (bumped) caps.
I recently oversaw a replacement of faulty caps on two different motherboards. On one motherboard we have 5 faulty caps, 3 x 3300 uF and 2x 1500 uF 6.3 V. I have witnesed that all caps were replaced by 2200 uF 6.3 V and it worked ok.
Is there any recommendation about how to proceed if I don't have exact capacitors? Usually it is beeter that replacement capacitor has higher voltage and a bit higher capacity (if same is not available). Is it possible that 1500 uF can be replaced with 3300 uF for example?
Second mother didn't boot up properly but that is for another subforum. I wonder if I can try to order exact capacitors and to try the same repair on second one.
