    Soltek SL-75KAV successfully recaped

    Hi, one Soltek SL-75KAV, known series to be blasted by the capacitor plague, saved by a French amateur.

    Before (original GSC caps) :

    Newers are longer than original ones, some PCI/AGP cards can't be pluggeg on.

    On my board I decide to install this way.
    Board still works fine - around 6 years from caps replacement.

      Looks good. Soltek loved to use bad capacitors. In fact, I've never seen them use anything but GSC/Sacon - the worst brand of capacitor EVER.
      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

        I have a Soltek with KZGs.
        "We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

          Before recapping, I make another modification - additional 5V connection
          from power supply. Because CPU drains so much current, power connector
          is overheated. On another mainboard I found plastic parts already melted.

            Looks nice.

            I've recapped the exact same board before. I didn't care much about it (after all, it's an ancient SD-RAM based board with a KT133 chipset), so I just used used caps from dead boards with a handful new ones.
            Didn't even pay any attention to the ESR of the "new" caps.. still works rock stable lol

            Used OST RLP for the 6.3V 1000uF, Chemicon LXV 6.3 1500uF for the whole VRM and a bunch of GP Panasonic 100uF 25V for the small caps scattered around in hot(ter) areas.

            ESR most likely waaay off of what it should be, capacity nowhere near what the originals were, yet the board doesn't give a shit

              Hi,

              Does anybody have the capacitor list of this motherboard, by any chance?

              Thank you.
