Hi guys I recently got a biostar u8668-d motherboard from a friend. He said it was working and he left it for a little while and when he came back the computer was off when he turned it back on it would power on and not post. He just swapped out the board and gave me the old one. It had two blotted caps beside the cpu so I replaced them with the exact size as the old ones and still no post. so could I have more bad caps that aren't showing on top or bottom or could it be a fried board

Originally posted by mrjeep88 View Postthanks I was wondering if the caps could be bad and not showing. now for another question can I check the caps with a digital multimeter or do I need some other tools. I have never checked caps before only changed out the bloated ones. any advice would be appreciated
Did you use low ESR caps for the new ones?Mann-Made Global Warming.

When you ask about caps list: make, series, uF, volts, and diameter in mm.

Re: biostar u8668-d
ok so I will need more tools. The caps are kzg 6.3v and 3300uf at least those were the ones the bloated the other caps are g-luxon 10v 1000uf there is also two kzg 16v 1500uf. The two I replaced I used ost 6.3v 3300uf that i had laying around left over from recaping another board

Re: biostar u8668-d
See, that's why asking old farts helps...
KZG are prone to failing without bloating, just replace all of them.
KZJ does the same thing. - Cases of bad series in an otherwise good brand.
G-luxon usually bloat but they are crap so just replace those too.
Unfortunately OST behave a lot like KZG.
Might get you going for now but for how long is questionable.

Re: biostar u8668-d
With those that are Vcore caps you could also do a poly upgrade.
I don't think the cost would be much different anymore.
