    ECS (Elitegroup) MCP61PM-HM Recap questions

    I have a motherboard out of an HP Pavillion model A6332W with an ECS motherboard Model MCP61PM-HM (Nettle2) and is in need of recapping. My question is, do I have to replace all the electrolytics on the board or just the ones around the vrm and also bulged ones. Here is a complete list of electrolytics that I see on the board including the smaller ones. Thier is 58 caps in total.

    Qty Brand Voltage Capacitance
    ----------------------------------------------------
    9 TK 6.3v 1800uf (the 4 VRM secondary caps and all others of this type on the board are bulged on top)
    3 TK 16v 1800uf (all 3 VRM primary caps look ok as do the rest listed below)
    8 Ost 6.3v 1000uf
    5 G-Luxon 16v 470uf
    14 G-Luxon 16v 100uf
    10 G-Luxon 25v 10uf
    9 G-Luxon 25v 22uf

    This could get expensive.

    The small G-Luxons don't usually go bad. Maybe change the 470uF ones but not below that. TK=OST and should be all replaced.

    A working TV? How boring!

      Yup. Replace everything 470uF and higher.

      Use these for all the 1800uF 6.3v caps, these for the 1800uF 16v caps on the VRM in, these for the OST 1000uF caps and these for the 470uF caps.
      I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

      No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

        We actually have 3 of these boards in the house at the moment, so probably will do mine next after I get my roommates redone. His was bsod'ing and crashing like mad. That's when I pulled the case and noticed the bulging capacitors. Thanks for the input on what to get. It saves me trying to cross them over to a better brand. I think rubycon seems to be the top of the line at the moment as far as reasonably priced capacitors go.

        Just finished replacing caps on a board out of an older Dell. They where the nichicon HM(N) series that are known to be bad around the time that the pc was manufactured. Overfilled from the factory I guess. The caps where so bad in that pc that it wouldn't even post. Worked fine after I replaced them.
