    Intel D925XECV2 with bad Nichicon HN

    That motherboard posts and beeps normally.

    The only obvious problem is a bulging Nichicon HN 1000uF 10V 10mmx12.5mm that is placed next to the 24pin ATX connector.

    The datecode on the capacitor is H0513. Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't that mean that the cap was made after Nichicon admitted the problem and corrected it?

    If the above is true then what killed the cap?

    It supposedly was fixed by then, but maybe PCBONEZ can confirm. Maybe it was killed by a bad PSU or got too hot.
    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 replaced the bad Nichicon HN 1000uF 10V 10mmx12.5mm with 1000uF 16V Panasonic FM 10mm x 20mm.

      There is another Nichicon HN 1000uF 10V not bulging. I would replace that too with Panasonic FM, but the extra length of the Panny would block the PCI-E graphics card...

      The board works like a charm

        The second Nichicon HN bulged and I had to find a way to make the Panny FM fit. I placed it horizontally, thanks to the long leads. I forgot to take pics though.

          You could have placed a nice Polymer instead for a perfect fit.

              Was gonna say. It's not worth it on an old board like that.
