    Motherboards with Bad Capacitors - READ BEFORE POSTING!

    Ok, the motherboard base with bad caps is getting huge! So I created this area to keep them all in one place. If you have a motherboard with bad capacitors, please post the make and model here. Also, please tell us who manufactured the faulty caps, their values, and how many are on the board. With this info, it will help others in diagnosing their faulty boards.

    Also, feel free to post a picture. If you don't have access to a web server, feel free to email me the picture and I'll add it to your posting.

    Just to save postings and time, please look through the posts and make sure that your board isn't already mentioned.

      Xbox 1.6 Motherboards and Polymer Capacitors
      by qwerty99
      Hello!

      I need to change the capacitors on my three original Xboxes.

      Two of them are 1.6B revisions and have Hynix RAM, and the other one is a 1.6 with Samsung RAM.

      The 1.6 has the infamous Nichicon HM capacitors around the CPU, which have all bulged and started to leak. This Xbox no longer powers on.

      The 1.6B revisions have Rubycon MBZ capacitors that all look fine, but I’ll change them in due course. Both of these work fine.

      I’ve seen some excellent threads on the forum about replacing/upgrading capacitors, but I can’t...

      Why doesn't current just bypass faulty capacitors.
      by Spudgun
      Hello esteemed members. I appreciate that my question will strike some as being somewhat childishly simple, but it genuine perplexes me! I have repaired several laptops before by removing a faulty capacitor that was short-circuiting the motherboard, whereupon the laptop would then work. For me, it begs the question that, if the current can bypass where the capcitor was when it has been removed, why didn't it just bypass it when it was present and faulty,? I can't get my head round the premise that if the other side of the capacitor is connected to ground, then why doesn't the current simply bypass...

      degradation of solid state capacitors in motherboards?
      by amelbye
      Hi, I have a question regarding a motherboard with SS capacitors that I'm having trouble with. Every now and again it would give overclock failed at boot even when not overclocking.

      Recently more often, and the last few weeks at every single boot. It seems like the typical capacitors needing to warm up, then everything is fine.

      Weird thing is the capacitors are all solid state. Do SS capacitors degrade the same way as normal caps? Is it worth trying to recap the board?

      I have already replaced the PSU.

      The board is a gigabyte x79 ud3....

      T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
      by Tr0ll
      Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

      The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

      Original T-con:
      Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

      First replacement T-con:

      I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

      SAMSUNG UN55KS9000F picture fades then distorts into vertical lines after 20 seconds
      by JJAAMM
      This was my main TV for the last 6 years. I'm not inclined to throw out a $2600 TV so quickly so I'm trying to investigate the issue.

      Problem
      TV was disconnected from power for 6 months during construction. When I plugged it yesterday picture was fine, after 30 seconds it dimmed then started developing horizontal lines, picture then starts to ghost vertically until it degrades into vertical streaks. TV always displays a perfect picture when cold. I can unplug TV for 5 minutes and plug it back in and picture is restored for 20 seconds. I can also keep it in standby mode...
