    ASRock 775VM800 bad caps

    I was given this board to see, if it can be saved. There is one obviously swollen cap rated 3300uF 6.3V.

    The problem is that the motherboard doesn't power on - it's dead as a brick. I'm not sure recapping it would help. What do you guys think?

    Thanks

    I did a CMOS reset and the system will turn on for a second but then just power off. After trying this, I decided to replace all six 3300uF caps but the result is the same. CPU fan starts turning for a second then the system shuts off.

    What now?

      Well, no help from here...

      I also replaced four 1200uF 16V caps that looked good on the outside but it didn't do anything so I trashed the board.

        What do you expect us to say... guess something out of thin air?

        Post pictures of the board, as clear as possible, maybe we spot something you missed.

        Why did the capacitors go bad? Go to the source.. check the power supply... maybe the power supply is bad and no longer provides good enough power.

        What capacitors did you use? Maybe you used poor quality or unsuitable capacitors, you can't use any brand of capacitors to replace existing ones.

          I used equal value Samxon caps purchased from badacps a while ago.

          I have no idea why the caps went bad since the motherboard was given to me and I don't have the power supply the original owner was using.

          I decided not to waste any more time on this board since it's an old socket 462 board.

            Check for shorting and probably could be due to bad MOSFET near the CPU.

              Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
              by momaka
              I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

              For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

              It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

              Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
              by eryjus
              Hello,

              First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

              I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

              I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
              ...

              Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
              by Paxman_Swede
              Hello!

              I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

              The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

              I have studied the board and...

              Asrock DeskMeet return of the bad caps
              by BigTroll
              I have had good luck with asrock products but with that said I ordered a DeskMeet X300 to use up some other components I had laying around Ryzen 3600 GTX 1060. it comes with a 500w power supply built by CWT.

              I thought CWT would use good components but no the primary cap was ChengX and the secondary had lots of chengx and JunFu caps. hope it lasts awhile. I do have a 450w SFX silverstone with teapos on the secondary I could replace it with.

              Help with switching power supply caps
              by captain150
              I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
              I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...
