Asus a8ae-le

[luke9511]

Hello all,

This motherboard is in a Compaq Presario SR1650NX Desktop Computer. The computer was working fine last night but was freezing up which happens alot but I turned it off and it would not come back on.

I open the side and start looking for loose connections etc and notice a cap that was bulging, I get a flash light and look closer and find more thats when I knew it needed new caps.

So I put in a order with digikey last night and added over night shipping, it gets here at 8:34am this morning and I replace all the bad caps aswell as a few others and its up and running again. I will also have a list of the bad caps aswell as their replacements.

This was also my first motherboard recap

good to hear, my question is actually which ones did you not replace?

and what did you replace the bad ones with?

I did not replace the 1500uf 6.3v rubycons or the 1800uf 6.3v rubycon and the other I didnt replace was because I thought It was a 820uf 6.3v cap but it was a 470uf 16v cap I did not have one and I used Panasonic caps from digikey and I have to say their chat help is top notch!
