A8N SLI-Deluxe not POST-ing - suspect a possible bad cap

[deanparkr]

Hi,

Our ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe is no longer posting. I have taken the machine down to bare-bones, just CPU and motherboard but alas, no POST.

Everything spins up fan wise, disks etc but nobodys home.

Having a nose around I came across this:



It looks like its just slightly leaking. I'm guessing thats my problem right there? If it is, I suppose I could look around to see if there is a board-level repair shop rather than forking out for a new Mobo?

Just thought it would be good to get some opinions Having read around it seems the Asus A8N boards had *alot* of cap issues!

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums! From the looks of it, it's a United Chemi Con, probably a KZG series. A few more pictures would help. If the cap is what I suspect, it needs to be replaced, and a good job would be to replace all of them on the board. Also please note that ASUS uses reverse markings on their boards for polarity of caps. Good luck!
