    wrt54gs v2 whineing

    I have a wrt54gs v2 that's recently started whineing near the inductors/capacitors but im unable to locate the exact source. I was wondering if maybe one of the hermei caps were blown without bulging and if I could replace them with what I have laying around. Hermei caps are 220uf 25v ht series and I have some nichicon 220uf 50v and a 470uf 50v all vr(m). This thing is heatsinked fanned overclocked and tx boosted so im really pushing the power designed of the board.

    Ps the whineing just started a couple months ago with no hardware or settings changes in over a year. Its running off a 1.5amp switching power supply and I've tried swapping it. None of my other wrt54g or gs routers are whineing so I don't think its the power supply. Thanks

    post a pic.i poly these.330/16 sep input.560/4 sepc +3.3 output.
    its worth it to poly it.

      My phone isn't wanting to let me upload but here's a random pic of the same board http://img392.*************/img392/7...74smallix4.jpg the only difference is I used bigger heatsinks I cut up from a p3.

      Im looking to get this up and running again as cheap as I can, and looking around I have 1 nichicon 470uf50v vr(m) 1 nichicon 220uf50v vr(m) and a ton of green caps labled "tracon 2a474k" and "tracon 2a224k" which I believe are polyester film. Any of these work if you think I need a recap? Im having no luck with my usual datasheet sources for the tracon caps

          Figured the tracon caps out. 2a is voltage in number of zeros, so 100v, 224 is capacitence in pictofarads with the third digit being the number of zeros, so in this case .22uf. K is the series but I've not found anything out about what it means. Anyways these deffinately wont work. Thanks for the links kc, im assumeing I test to see which caps have what voltage and use the poly with the higher voltage where I have to and use the 4v ones where I can for better ripple. Just want to double check, you know you make an ASS-u-ME if you end up being wrong. Thanks
