This Azza 601BM is cheap and rare. It was filled entirely with DO brand caps made about 2001. They have lasted pretty well. However to get it working all the low ESR caps were replaced. It now computes fine however whenever the hard drive works hard the video display suffers steaking noise breakup. Because the video is on board my guess is that at least one of the ordinary caps (not low ESR) is faulty and therefore not decoupling the noise generated by hard drive action. The computer had to be pressed back into service as a server!!! I will try get it back to replace all the small caps (caps that I do not normally have to hand, low ESR I do have).
Has anyone come across this type of hard drive interaction with the display?
