      If anything, motherboard capacitors usually have to be much smaller in diameter and have a bit better specifications than monitor power supply capacitors. So, the motherboard capacitors are generally a bit more expensive.

      Monitor power supplies capacitors usually have to be much smaller in height, so to make up for reduced height, they use capacitors rated for higher voltage and implicitly larger diameter - you usually see capacitors rated for 16-25v while most motherboard capacitors nowadays that fail are rated for 6.3v-10v - the ones dying in general are near the processor and the heat it generates.

          Yes I am sure that with motherboard caps you need to take the capacitors ripple rating into account.

                  After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
                  by dragon3x
                  Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
                  power on.

                  Here are some examples :

                  (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
                  switching supply area).
                  (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
                  than 6.3 V.)

                  1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
                  I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
                  3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...

                  Replacement caps for Samson Resolv studio monitor 65A Amp board.
                  by black6host
                  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...

                  Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

                  did bad capacitors kill my motherboard or prolonged exposure to faulty psu?
                  by stanwebber
                  i've got a pretty rare motherboard that i'm evaluating for repair. it's a biostar m7mia-raid which is the only ddr socket a motherboard ever produced, consumer or industrial, with an isa slot. its 20 years old now and finally gave up the ghost last month. i was saving a dd image of the hdd to a portable usb drive when i found it unresponsive with a black screen and a solid lit hdd led. after forcing it to power down it never posted again. the psu/cpu/case fans will spin and the onboard motherboard power led will light up, but no beeps or error codes even with the cmos reset and ram plus all expansion...

                  Lenovo Legion 5 15IMH05H No Display
                  by Rolin
                  I have a Lenovo Legion 5 15IMH05H 81y6003yUS that someone asked me to help them with a failing SSD. I installed a new SSD, fresh Win11 installation, updates, etc. Very standard stuff and everything was completed. He said he'll pick it up in a few days so I shut it down and set it aside.

                  A few days later came and now it won't POST an image, keyboard lights up, fans spin then shuts itself off after about 40 seconds. I've already tried the typical draining capacitance and removed CMOS battery,etc. No display on an external HDMI monitor as well.. No idea what happened. Suspected a BIOS...
