I have four boards that I got from eBay that all have C1 post errors in the diagnostic LEDs on the board. This is the memory-detection part of POST, and it hangs here forever. Removing the memory sticks results in an undocumented E2 post error, which tells me the hardware is somewhat alive.
I recapped all the 2200uF with Rubycon MCZ, still had the problem. I then did the single 470uF, still had the problem.
The C1 problem was resolved by recapping the 1500uF with Rubycon MCZ.
None of the TEAPO 1500uF had obvious signs of failure. I did all except the two between the PCI slots, cuz I'm lazy and they are a pain in the ass to remove.
