    How Long

    Hi All,
    I just installed two 1500uf 16v Pansonic Caps to my four year old GIGABYTE board....this was my first ever recap....I think the first went OK
    ( solderwise ) i.e. the solder looks well applied and that 1st cap is solid with no give, the second solder application is fair but that cap has a little give.

    Upon first boot the POST went well and current all around sys performance is noteably better than has been for a long time.

    How long before I can be confident that the two caps are functioning correctly?

    Regards,

    Berne

      Re: How Long

      i usually run some memtest86+ for a few passes and check there are no memory errors. others run stress testing utilities for hours or days, some even stress the motherboard further reducing airflow while stress testing.

      then once it passes its good

      doesnt sound good if the cap has a little give.

              HP Pavilion 14-ce0505sa, 5 long 3 short, no display. g7a-2g da0g7ambd1
              by szreder6
              Hello guys,
              I have a problem with my laptop as in the title, black screen, capslock displays error code 5 long 3 short, no voltage on the coils above the CPU, before removing the drive I had 0.8v there, power led flashed 5x long and the battery would not charge (current jumped from 0.5a to 2.8a), now on the power led I have a steady white light or orange when the battery is connected.
              What I did:
              - Laptop was not detecting ram, loose pins on ram slot, error 3.2 disappeared, ram working tested in another laptop

              As far as I know the laptop was in another service center...

              MacBook Pro 2018 with Activation Lock
              by envym
              Hi everyone!

              I have a 2018 MacBook Pro (with Sequoia OS) that I've been using for years with no problem. I recently received an M2 MacBook Pro so I'm mostly using it and not the 2018 one, but since a friend of mine needs a computer, I thought I could restore my 2018 and give it brand-new-like to my friend.

              I tried using the built-in tool to restore the MacBook (Settings > General > Transfer or restore > Delete) but it got stuck when trying to remove the Find Device configuration (it asked me for the password for my old Apple ID -now I use the same account but...

              Ps4 Pro long blue light of death
              by Gjackson
              Hi,
              I have an NVA-001 Ps4 Pro with long blue light of death, visual inspection looks fine apart from dust and the very dried thermal paste which I cleaned and replaced, I scoped the board around for any shorts on capacitors and there were none, no blown fuses either. Looking under a thermal camera, southbridge gets warm along with APU and phases for the APU. I cannot tell if RAM is too cold? maybe not powered? but RAM chips are all the same temperatures. At this point I removed NOR and enabled UART to diagnose further. The only thing I get from UART is this following message:
              ...
