DFI CM33-TL revsion B

[tazwegion]

I was fortuitous enough to be given a DFI uATX socket 370 motherboard today complete with Celeron 1.10A (100Mhz fsb) for gratis, sadly it's populated with G-Luxon & Teapo capacitors of which 2 of the G-Luxon's are visably deteriorated (see pictures below) but thankfully I've still got some SamXon's on hand just the right values, though I'm not sure about the 2700 uF's... I suppose some 3300uF's would do as alternatives

IMHO, use 3300uF 6.3v instead of 2700uF 6.3v is not a problem if diameter is same.

Re: DFI CM33-TL revsion B

As always, thanks Big Pope, I've almost finished recapping it and wouldn't you know it? I've run out of 1000uF both 6.3v & 10v LMAO

Re: DFI CM33-TL revsion B

Well, here's an update... I've almost finished bar the 2700uF's & remaining 1000uF (near the AGP slot)

Re: DFI CM33-TL revsion B - Completion

Well, here we are again at the end of yet another successful recapping project, sadly I encountered one of those recapper's nightmares here with 2 capacitors coming away leaving their 'legs' insitu making life all that much harder for yours truly

Practice makes perfect or so I'm told, hopefully such situations will prove less hair pulling in the future LMAO

Here (below) we can see the finished product, due to my personal supply shortages I've used a wider selection of capacitors to fill this boards quota

Components used for this project...

2 x 1500uF 10v SamXon GD series
3 x 1200uF 6.3v SamXon GD series
4 x 3300uF 6.3v SamXon GC series
6 x 1000uF 10v SamXon GC series

I usually prefer using one supplier of capacitors, it's more asthetically pleasing IMHO

Nice recapping.

Do you have view my caps database recently? Here is added some new stocks.

Re: DFI CM33-TL revsion B

If you're referring to the database linked from your sig, yes I did have a quick perusal the other day

Once I sort out my networking upgrade, Folding@Home farm & related component upgrades... I'll have to catch up with you & see what I need to restock

This board is very expensive like hundreds of euros, I wonder why?

Re: DFI CM33-TL revsion B

I want to repair a similar board but a component is blown i assume that it was a voltage regulator if you can provide me with the photos of voltage regulators the it will be very helpful.
