      Jup, soldering isn`t that easy on pc PCB`S. From the pics, it semms that you have applied a little to mutch tin per solerpoint, but missed to fill the solder holes from the base with the tinn. It is important, to heat up the solerpoint, not only the wire from the cap. Idealy, the solder should sucked up from the hole and you only see a small ammount at the outside of the hole. Any way, to archive this, you need good equipment and experience. I personally, have had a hard time with some Asrock K7S8Xe Any way, i tried as long as it needed to get proper conections. Solderpints aren`t that nice and neat, but it worked and probably will for ever.

        Resurrecting an oldish post.

        I also have a a VP6 board, which seems to be operating properly, but since I need to order some other caps, I might as well order some for this board.

        Are the caps recommended to be upgraded to 2200uF the 8 caps forming an 'L' next to the processors, or are there more? The rest should be 1000uF?

        Thanks in advance

          yes. In my opinion you can simply use the 1500uF caps... but with the 2200uF you shouldn't have any problem.

          The rest should be 1000uF?
          That's it.

            Since my VP6 is in use in my firewall at the moment, buried under a couple of other computers, I don't want to pull everything apart until I have the caps and can change them out, how many of the various capacitances/voltages/sizes do I need? I found a post with a picture saying 15 pcs 1500uF/6.3V and 8 pcs 1000uF/16V. Since the 8 by the processors can be 2200uF, can all the 1500uFs be 2200uF, or is it only the 8 that can be? What's the max sizes of the caps?

            TIA,
            Stig

              the only 2 that must be 16v is the 2 north of the agp looking at it with ports facing away.
              since i buy large quantiy of 2200@6.3 fm i use them in place of the 1500 in these.they give a slight edge when overclocking.
              the 1000@16 near the agp and towards the nb can be 1000@6.3 as they are on v agp and dont ever exceed 5v.
              the 1500 along agp has to be laid down to clear the card.

                Recap motherboards :: Abit KG7-LITE and Soltek SL-75FRN2-L
                by Foetuss
                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)

                Soltek Golden ::
                4 1500µF 16V 10mm (5mmL) KZG => APSG160ELL152MJ16S (Chemi-Con 1500µF 16V)
                6 3300µF 6.3V 10mm (5mmL) KZG => APSG160ELL272MJ20S (Chemi-Con 2700µF 16V)...

                Panasonic TC-P55ST50 8 blinks then no blinks
                by Andre Gilbert
                Hello! yes I know there is already lots of information about this issue. I have a Panasonic TC-P55ST50 that originally displayed an 8-blink error code. Following the troubleshooting flowchart, I ended up replacing the SS board. However, even after replacing it, the issue persists. The TV turns on and stays on without displaying an image, and continuity is confirmed on all connectors. What am I missing here🤔?
                Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting 😂.

                MSI K7T266 Pro (Ver. 1.0)
                by ssl6
                Hey Everyone,

                Long time lurker, but I think this is my first time posting.

                Just looking for some assistance on identifying some suitable replacement capacitors for an MSI K7T266 Pro (Ver. 1.0). I just got my hands on two of them actually, both working but one has some visibly bulging capacitors and the other has a few that I can't tell for sure if they're bulging because it's faint at best if they are.

                I'll be honest I don't fully understand much on capacitor spec sheets beyond voltage and capacitance but I can solder like nobodies business so I've...

                Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
                by AquaMan Ua
                Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...

                Motherboards boot, won't load O/S. Possible KZG problem?ibb
                by bigbeark
                I have an Asus P5GV-MX that uses 2 KZG 1000uf 16V in the VRM circuit.

                I also have a Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 that has 3 KZG 1500uf 1I6V in the VRM circuit.

                I tested both these boards with a working Sata HDD and neither of them will start the O/S.

                They both boot fine and show the MX Linux first screen. When I press Enter to start the O/S, they hang with a blinking cursor on a blank screen.

                If I select the option that shows the detailed loading steps, it shows 2 lines, last of which is "loading Ramdisk" after which the same blinking...
