    Did you do an autospy on the optically good KZGs to see if they were out of capacitance or have high ESR?

      Oh. It was supposed to be "no sign". I never met these damaged inside as everybody is talking about, all bad KZGs I've seen so far were bulged.

      But why to wait for the good looking ones to bulge too, right. Especially when U have Panasonics FL from eBay for few cents a piece

        I changed all the the KZG caps from 1800 uf to 1000 uf on this M2N61 and it still has the same issue. The cpu fan and the chassis fan turn on, the front power button lights up but I still get no output to the monitor or Lan when I plug into it.

        Could this be a power supply issue? I have a known good supply out of another unit that I was able to plug into the MB's 22 pin connector and cpu's 4 pin connector and got the same results. Or is this just a bad motherboard with some other issues?

          According to wikipedia, your motherboard...
          "uses nVidia GeForce 6150 integrated graphics with the nForce 430i chipset,"

          If you replaced the caps and it still doesn't work, the nVidia chipset probably failed. It's a very common problem.

            Can this be replaced or is the motherboard toast?

              It can't be replaced without specialized equipment. Not worth fixing IMO.

                You can try reflowing with a heat gun. I was able to revive a MSI board with a Nvidia chipset. See

                  Reflwo is the solution, only problem is I don't believe you can do it at home the way that it will work for at least another year.
