I opened up an Antec Basiq 500 to replace the crapxons, and found these on the bottom are they really resistors/diodes that are just...micro plastic components (the oranges rectangles)

Re: What are these
No, it's just glue.
A pick and place style machine puts those drops on the circuit board and then a chip shooter machine puts the surface mounted components on top.
The board goes through an "oven" which heats up the glue to activate it and now the smt components are glued in place.
The glue keeps the surface mounted components in place so the board can be flipped on the other side to insert through hole components (transformers, inductors, capacitors) and now the whole board can be moved through a wave soldering machine with the surface mounted components on the bottom and a wave of solder simply solders the components.
You can see the glue on the bottom of that diode on top right.
My guess is they just used a generic profile for several models in the series to apply the glue, to save money on re-tooling. So they put glue in places that don't need to be populated in this particular model of power supply from the series.Last edited by mariushm; 05-27-2017, 11:48 PM. -
Re: What are these
god this fucking PSU. They have custom made CrapXon KF series that are 8xXX. There is one heatshrink wrapped 8x25 in a TIGHT spot. All I can find are 10xXX other caps for the V/uCap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/

by mitsu2kI know many folks on this forum warn against conductive glue and suggest removing it immediately upon site. I'm here to vouch and say these people know what they are talking about. To be more accurate, the glue isn't intended to be and doesn't actually start out conductive. It gets conductive as it is heated by components that get hot. The glue starts out to be a light tan color but as it is exposed to heat, it gets darker and darker until it is a dark brown. I have found that it becomes conductive at the point that it reaches a light brown color on darker.

by acedogblastThis is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.
There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as... -

by Al-UmarPlease can someone tell me the chemical that can be apply to dissolve glue that used to hold the type C chip and SSD storage chip MacBook 2017 touchbar on the board.
Please i need a prescription of that chemical. i will be very glad if someone can help me out on that -
