I have a TF8200 motherboard that recently started to freeze. The bios would post and show starting windows. The graphic was shake the sound would not sound correctly. I looked at the MB and noticed two bulging caps on the top side of the SATA ports. I had built three PC all with the same board. Of the three, two of them failed. So far my third system, which is mine, has not failed yet. The only issue I could see on both was the bulging caps. (I have attached pic's of the two caps) The second one just started to fail which is the ones I guess I'll try to replace the caps. I've noticed that OST are listed as a bad cap mfg. I need 2 caps 6.3V 1000uf low ESR. Where would you suggest I purchase these from? I do have a solder iron but its the big one that looks like a gun. I'm guessing that would not be satisfactory to work on a MB with. Any video you could provide would be helpful on removing and install the new caps.
Thanks
