Re: Cruddy caps on HP Pavilion 533w (Echo-GL, IMPERIAL_GL_VE)
This computer belongs to friends who are paying me to fix it. It shuts off after 10 - 30 seconds. Obviously bad caps. In fact, they are worse than any other pictures I've seen on badcaps.com.
Question: can I replace just the board and re-activate WinXP? What boards will be compatible? I know it's probably too hard a question and so they will end up having to buy a new PC
.
This PC had a lot of dust: but a bit less than "dont let your pc get like this!"
The machine is out of warranty, so HP has offered nothing for my trouble. (I already bought a power supply before I noticed the caps.) What's this about a class action?
The rest of this post is about HP part number confusion.
As for HP part numbers, as mentioned in this thread, the same HP model can have different motherboards. In fact if you go to buy the part on the HP website, you get a screen like this:
But then if you click "CLICK HERE to select your model" (even though you already have given it the model number), then you get these additional parts, which are the right ones, according to the HP tech I chatted with:DA203-69002 $154.00
Motherboard (system board) - Echo, GLA - For systems with K, L, T, or R as the 3rd digit in the serial number (Tatung)
REQUIRES RETURN OF DEFECTIVE PART
5187-2121 $172.00 New part for DA203-69002
As you can see in the picture above, the board says this:DF215-69002 $139.00
Motherboard (system board) - Echo-GL
REQUIRES RETURN OF DEFECTIVE PART
5187-4631 $155.00 New part for DF215-69002
Mat NO. 132872 IMPERIAL_GL_VE 20020629
Those last digits seem to be a date that is not important to match when you are doing a replacement, perhaps.
Futhermore... the HP web site offers this "Product Information" for the Pavilion 533w (also known as 500, also known as P9859A):
The second one is the one I'm working on.Motherboard Specifications, P4G533 (Echo)
Motherboard Specifications, TriGem 2002052 (Glendale)
Hope this post comes in handy for anyone else with a HP.Last edited by kitchin; 10-22-2005, 08:46 AM. -

whoa.... worst caps I've ever seen also. Those HPs are crap, the same board was used in crap eMachines. What brand are the caps?Comment

Re: Cruddy caps on HP Pavilion 533w (Echo-GL, IMPERIAL_GL_VE)
We used to buy HP Pavilion machines, but when I heard that HP was going to have at least some of their PCs developed by the Compaq folks - infamous quality and support - we bought Sony Vaio instead. That was '01 or '02, and that pic which seems to show a June, 2002 date code seems to confirm the wisdom of not buying HP.PeteS in CA

I work with an ex HP employee, HP doesn't even use HP computers...kind of tells you something...
A lot of the newer eMachines use SOTST from various manufacturers...Ya'll think us folk from the country's real funny-like, dontcha?

I will get the brand off those caps in the HP Pavilion later today or tomorrow. Wonder if I should look inside the power supply too?Comment

I'd be curious to know the brand of P/S, too. HP used to use Delta Products and Yokogawa.PeteS in CA

Re: Cruddy caps on HP Pavilion 533w (Echo-GL, IMPERIAL_GL_VE)
I got one tip for you kitchin. You can send the board to Topcat for recapping since you're in the United States. You can do that if you don't know how to recap. But, you have to pay the price that Topcat wants you to pay. And, that looks like the baddest buldging and "electrolyte coming out to the busted vent" that came out of a few caps on that HP's motherboard. Also, HP also uses Bestec power supplies.Last edited by Newbie2; 10-26-2005, 04:11 AM.My gaming PC:

I forgot about Bestec - one of our Pavilions had one - they're OK AFAIK. Lite On makes good stuff, including their own rectifiers. You might find their products in Surfboard (C) cable modems and GI/Mot digital cable set-top boxes.PeteS in CA

Re: Cruddy caps on HP Pavilion 533w (Echo-GL, IMPERIAL_GL_VE)
Oh, hey...
I've obtained a dead eMachines board similar to this one, a Trigem Imperial_GV dated 2003-08-12. Socket 478, 533 MHz bus...
Well, it has no less than 10 Rubycon MBZs and 3 Chemi-Con (forget which...go me) KZGs around the VRM. There are 4 Taicon HIs, and the rest of the board is, surprise, Daewoo. Well, the company that bought them out with the _A_ logo. Looks like a jellybean with legs. All the caps appear good but the board won't post. Not like I'm too concerned, the board has no AGP and I have another Intel 478.
I'll get some pictures if you want. My camera isn't very good.You know there's something wrong when you open up a PSU and are glad to find Teapos.
Why I don't buy cheap cases!

Re: Cruddy caps on HP Pavilion 533w (Echo-GL, IMPERIAL_GL_VE)
the bestec psu has a nasty habit of a 10@50 lytic in +5 stby going open.
+5stby often exceeds 12v and kills the mobo.and the replacement you install.and any other board you hook this psu to.(where is that poof smiley when you need it)

Hello,
First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.
I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.
I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

I did it again – I had to fulfill my inner desire to fix yet another old piece of hardware. This one is actually kind of worthwhile, too – it’s an EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP video card, model P/N: 256-A8-N542-T2. With the popularity of “retro” PCs from the Win9x to XP era going up, and the diminishing supply of decent AGP cards, it is expected their prices will go up. Or is it? I bought the this video card rather on the cheap side (~$9 USD shipped to my door), because the eBay seller listed it for parts or repair (and correctly noted the bad capacitors.)
So, here is the... -
Good day!
I have a Samson Resolv studio monitor that has no sound output. I've opened it up and found two caps that are bulging on what I believe to be the power supply section of the amplifier board. The board is marked Resolv 65A AMP V1.2. The caps in question are YUSCON, 2200uF, 35V, 85C temp and have markings of RA(P) and are 16mm x 25.5mm tall. I've attached the schematic and the caps in question are C5 and C6. I'm assuming they are low esr caps. I've tested both caps and they test low uF, nowhere near 2200uF.
I'm going to replace the caps and I'll be the first... -
I have a "HP Pavilion x360 - 14-ba104na" in for repair. The caps lock flash 3 long and 5 short.
HP says this error means:
The red light blinks three times, and then five, short white light blinks (3 long red, 5 short white)
This condition indicates that the computer does not detect the processor (CPU).
Does this mean the CPU is dead or is there another cause for this fault? -
Hi everyone,
There actually was a time when early SMPS and late bakelite housed electrolytic caps coexisted in high end industrial gear. A friend of mine just got himself a CNC milling machine form that time with its first set of now 41 year old caps still installed in the PSU... and it's malfunctioning.
Two of the caps have already leaked slightly onto the board. I have not desoldered or measured any so far but they should qualify for replacement.
Now I'm wondering what to put in there as a replacement. First idea was state of the art low-ESR Nippon KY,...
