My friend gave me a dead Asus A7V266E that has 2 leaky OST 6.3V 1000UF capacitors. ( Instead of bulging at the top like many bad caps, the OST leak the white stuff at the edge with no sign of bulging(hard to see!!!). I check it using Dick smith ESR meter, both are 0.08, still within the acceptable range)
The board is also missing one of the ant-like capacitor next the ICS chip(bule arrow). I just randomly pick any junk capacitor from dead board and solder it( Though i know it is not the correct way to fix it)
I replace OST(Red arrows) with 2 G-luxon 10V 1000uF just to see if the caps are the cause of problem.
Now the mobo can boot, but it take about 18 second( From pressing the switch to actually seeing something from the screen)
What cause the mobo to take 18-19 seconds to display somthing? Because the ant-like capacitor or many OST bad cap or both??
Is 18-19s normal for this board?
