    Aopen AK73 Pro(A)

    This is an older socket 462 motherboard, fairly basic in features. Every cap on the board was bad. Two 10v 3300uf, Twenty 6.3v 1500uf, and four 6.3v 1000uf. All Lelon caps. Replaced with two Samxon GD 6.3v 3300uf (only measured 5v), twenty Panasonic FM 6.3v 1500uf, and four Panasonic FM 6.3v 1200uf (1000uf not available)

    Pics of the board prior to, and after recap are forthcoming.

    It'd be Aopen AK73, I can't find anything on the Asus AK73.

      I believe that the AK73's were AOpen boards. Pictures will be helpful.

          My bad, it is an Aopen. Just a mistake on my part! Pictures are coming, just taking longer than I thought. Here's the before pics:

            I know AOpen could do better, I have an old AOpen AX6BC (slot 1) board that is loaded with United-ChemiCon caps and those good caps came with the board!

            My neighbour also has that board and his board was loaded with Rubycon caps, and those came with his board too!

              Here are the pics of the recap. Yes, I know the one cap is crooked. I couldn't get the one leg in all the way. Oh well!

              On the test bed:

                Looking good

                I've been finding a lot of these on eBay lately... almost bid on one until I realized I'd probably be looking at doing a recap right away considering the age of them. Had a feeling I wouldn't get as lucky with the caps as I did with the AK79G-Max's default Chemicons.

                  ok we are deducting points accordingly........hehe...actually i would have been happy to get only one crooked cap on my board. looks great, especially with those caps and the black pcb.

                  watch it though when you cant get a leg in, there is danger to get pissed off and force it or overheat etc thereby possibly wrecking the board.
