    Soltek SL-75KAV successfully recaped

    Hi, one Soltek SL-75KAV, known series to be blasted by the capacitor plague, saved by a French amateur.

    Before (original GSC caps) :

      On my board I decide to install this way.
      Board still works fine - around 6 years from caps replacement.

          Looks good. Soltek loved to use bad capacitors. In fact, I've never seen them use anything but GSC/Sacon - the worst brand of capacitor EVER.
          I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

          No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

                  Before recapping, I make another modification - additional 5V connection
                  from power supply. Because CPU drains so much current, power connector
                  is overheated. On another mainboard I found plastic parts already melted.

                      Looks nice.

                      I've recapped the exact same board before. I didn't care much about it (after all, it's an ancient SD-RAM based board with a KT133 chipset), so I just used used caps from dead boards with a handful new ones.
                      Didn't even pay any attention to the ESR of the "new" caps.. still works rock stable lol

                      Used OST RLP for the 6.3V 1000uF, Chemicon LXV 6.3 1500uF for the whole VRM and a bunch of GP Panasonic 100uF 25V for the small caps scattered around in hot(ter) areas.

                      ESR most likely waaay off of what it should be, capacity nowhere near what the originals were, yet the board doesn't give a shit

                          Hi,

                          Does anybody have the capacitor list of this motherboard, by any chance?

                          Thank you.

                              After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
                              by dragon3x
                              Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
                              power on.

                              Here are some examples :

                              (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
                              switching supply area).
                              (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
                              than 6.3 V.)

                              1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
                              I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
                              3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...

                              Hi all

                              Hope this is in the correct place.

                              I'm planning on recapping both motherboards. I actually already ordered recplament caps for them, where I will be changing out most for poly's.
                              Could use some double checking to see if I'm not doing something stupid .

                              Pictures of the boards are attached.
                              What I will be replacing with what : (planned)

                              Hi everyone,

                              Weeks ago, I tried to connect the CH3741a to a Winbond chip. Some of the people who helped me (and I thank them) told me that the connection between the wires or their orientations were not good. However, even if I rectify this, it doesn't work (but I'm thinking there may be sub-steps I'm missing).

                              I've also been told that I was trying to read a 16-pin chip with 8-pin hardware, and that it wouldn't work. I've bought an adapter, but I can't figure out how to plug it in (yes, there's a lack of documentation), but I'd really like it to work at least...once!...

                              by mikeybass
                              Hi, I hope some one has some advice for me. I searched the forums but didn't see anything relevant. I acquired two identical Dell 9010 Mid Tower computers from a business office upgrade (they were going to throw them out). Both of them have the same motherboard (00F82W). One of them works flawlessly. The other one had a corrupted BIOS. I tried flashing numerous main BIOS and EC files from the internet, but none of them worked. I decided to copy the main BIOS and EC from the working 9010 computer and successfully flashed the corrupted BIOS. This got the computer able to boot again and run norm...

                              Anyone ever replace an 80 pin surface mount IC successfully?
                              by thesteve
                              The last time I tried, the replacement IC shifted slightly while reheating.
                              It was all downhill from there.

                              I have a bad HDMI switch IC in an otherwise beautiful 55" Sony.
