    FIC AZII bad capacitors

    Ok, here's an FIC motherboard, model AZII. It's a socket 'A' AMD-based board. The peculiar thing with this board is the condition of the caps. Take note of the pictures, the caps are in pristine physical condition, no swelling, bulging or venting. However, this board was completely unstable and unusable. The caps were branded 'OST' and 'CHHSI', brands known to fail.







    I replaced all the caps, and the board is now perfectly stable! This just goes to prove that your caps don't have to be vented and disfigured to be bad!

    My friend had one of those boards, exact brand and model. Its funny, half the board is bare. I use to make fun of that thing all the time. And that system of his with that board was the most unstable he has ever had. The board now rests on the bottom of his lawn pond. lol

      Re: FIC AZII bad capacitors

      WOW, this is a really old post. I just picked up this very old board. paid nothing for it, Ok i paid 10 bucks, i got ripped off. wanted to use the thing for a print server.

      Anyway, I noticed that a couple capacitors were bad, and i replaced them. still not getting any video. I am guessing I should just toss it, but i want to fix it. this previous post stated that you replaced all the caps... Or did you just replace the big ones. where is the cheapest place to pick these up.

      Thanks,

      ChuckE.

      All recommendations are appreciated. I know that I should just toss it.

        Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
        by sam_sam_sam
        I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

        This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

        After all of...

        HP Pavilion 15-eh Board DAG7HAMB8F0 - CPU throttling to 0.4GHz (PROCHOT_EXT) and black screen
        by m1ch43lzm
        Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
        Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

        Replacement caps for Samson Resolv studio monitor 65A Amp board.
        by black6host
        Good day!

        I have a Samson Resolv studio monitor that has no sound output. I've opened it up and found two caps that are bulging on what I believe to be the power supply section of the amplifier board. The board is marked Resolv 65A AMP V1.2. The caps in question are YUSCON, 2200uF, 35V, 85C temp and have markings of RA(P) and are 16mm x 25.5mm tall. I've attached the schematic and the caps in question are C5 and C6. I'm assuming they are low esr caps. I've tested both caps and they test low uF, nowhere near 2200uF.

        I'm going to replace the caps and I'll be the first...

        HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
        by momaka
        Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

        Looking for help with a Viewsonic VP230mb where the backlight comes on only momentarily
        by lostone
        Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.

        First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
        When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected...
