    Capacitors for an Asus Echo Board

    My wife's Compaq Presario S5000V P8656P has a batch of bad capacitors which I need to replace.

    Normally the P8656P has a Trigem Glendale board (all serial numbers starting with KR or CH. However, if the serial number starts with MX (as hers does) then the board is an Asus Echo P4G533 board with the Award bios.

    HP's web page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...n&cc=us&dlc=en, tells about this and gives the layout and some photos.

    I am new to this and need to have some help figuring out what to order. I can take close up pictures and send them in if that will help.

    Thanks,

    Pictures might help but what you need to do is take picture of the board where you are going to replace anything ( I usually take a print) and write on it the value of each
    capacitor. IMPORTANT also note the side(negative) the stripe is on as on asus boards
    the markings are opposite to what you might expect. You also need low or very low esr
    caps if I was in the US I would probably just order from badcaps.net

    Write out the list and add the make and series of the caps and probably someone will be able to help you decide.

    This is not an easy job and unless you are an experienced solderer you may want to get in some practice.
    Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

      Thank you for the advice. All very good. I normally do take pictures of anything I work on (do it for a living as a tech writer). The information on the stripes is also very good since that tells me they are polarized.

      I planned to order from badcaps.

      I am not that experienced, but I am very patient and very, very careful (an eight hour job takes me twenty four.

      Thanks again for the advice.

          Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
          by Tynan Dill
          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

          Assuming...

          Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
          by sam_sam_sam
          I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

          This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

          After all of...

          HP Pavilion 15-eh Board DAG7HAMB8F0 - CPU throttling to 0.4GHz (PROCHOT_EXT) and black screen
          by m1ch43lzm
          Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
          Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

          ASUS STRIX Z490-F GAMING - No POST, stubborn board
          by DynaxSC
          Hi,

          I have this very stubborn ASUS mobo on the bench, and I already face the wall with it. It just refuses to POST, although everything seems to be OK.

          The situation looks like this:

          After connecting the board to the power supply on Nuvoton (SLP_S3#, pin 64), the Low signal (50 ohm resistance) appears immediately. PWRNTN# signal goes through Nuvoton to the chipset (confirmed after removing the chipset). The following conditions are then met for the chipset to generate the SLP_S3# signal:

          1. RTC oscillates normally (32.768KHz).

          TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
          by howardc64
          All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
          • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
          • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault
