    GA-7VA in dire need of a recap







    Total caps needing to be replaced?

    (5) 3300uf 6.3v
    (3) 1500uf 6.3v
    (2) 1200uf 6.3v
    (11) 1000uf 6.3v

    Interesting.... there are no caps on this board anywhere that are rated over 6.3v...

    Oh, and the three 1500uf 6.3v caps are of the outstanding "Supacon" brand

          They're Choyo's. Domed at the top, and leaning from the bottom.

              Not another GA-7VA!!! You all are giving me nightmares about my board!
              I really have to check out my board, I just don't have that much spare time at the moment.

                  I have one of these I got from work today. EC29 is vented. It seems strange since it is a 1000uF 6.3v Rubycon MBZ.
                  I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                  No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

                      ASUS P5GC-MX motherboard recap
                      by momaka
                      Here’s another motherboard that needed a full recap: an ASUS P5GC-MX.
                      This one was gifted to me some years ago by user Pentium 4, along with a few other goodies. It actually came in working order with no bulging or leaking caps. However, I noted there were United Chemicon KZG caps everywhere on the motherboard. The CPU VRM output (CPU V_core) was the only exception: it had only 2x KZG. The rest was 6x UCC TMV 4V 680 uF caps… which aren’t any good news either.

                      So here is what the motherboard looked like with its original caps:

                      no-name Radeon 9600 XT recap and cooler
                      by momaka
                      I've been seeing a lot of cheap-looking (but not always so cheap) no-name AGP video cards on eBay for a while. They started popping up quite a bit when the market for AGP cards became more alive all of a sudden due to interest in “retro” PCs. One thing that struck me about these cheapo cards is that they almost always seem to come with garbage caps - including the abominable Sacon FZ. That aside, though, I've been wondering about the rest of the quality (or lack of?) on these cards. So I decided to satisfy my curiosity yet again.

                      This one was actually suggested to me by ChaosLegionnaire....

                      Recap motherboards :: Abit KG7-LITE and Soltek SL-75FRN2-L
                      by Foetuss
                      Hi all

                      Hope this is in the correct place.

                      I'm planning on recapping both motherboards. I actually already ordered recplament caps for them, where I will be changing out most for poly's.
                      Could use some double checking to see if I'm not doing something stupid .

                      Pictures of the boards are attached.
                      What I will be replacing with what : (planned)

                      Soltek Golden ::
                      4 1500µF 16V 10mm (5mmL) KZG => APSG160ELL152MJ16S (Chemi-Con 1500µF 16V)
                      6 3300µF 6.3V 10mm (5mmL) KZG => APSG160ELL272MJ20S (Chemi-Con 2700µF 16V)...

                      Got 4 LG L222WS 22" for free - psu recap
                      by goodpsusearch
                      Got 4 CCFL 16/10 monitors for free.

                      The resolution is almost Full HD (1680x1050)

                      VGA Input only is a bummer though.

                      Uses cheap TN panel with terrible viewing angles.

                      Even though this is not 17" 5:4 screen, still has very low resell value here. Can be found for 15-20 euros.

                      All the 4 monitors were not working and needed psu recap. Used mix of mediocre / junk caps to recap them, then donated 3 of them to friends/relatives and kept 1 for myself. Also like to install extra caps on empty spaces to help them last longer.

                      BFG Tech. GeForce FX5200 [ASLM52256] – full recap info and cooler mod
                      by momaka
                      The more time passes, the more nostalgic I get with old hardware. Video cards and motherboards tend to be my weak spot. As such, I often scavenge eBay for old PC hardware, especially anything with bad caps or in need of similar minor repair.

                      For today's consideration, I have a popular low-end card from back in the early 2000's: an nVidia GeForce FX5200. This one is the BFG Tech. Asylum take on the card, with 256 MB of DDR RAM running at 400 MHz and 128-bit bus (vs. 64-128 MB and 64-bit bus on many of the cheaper versions.)




                      I think it's easy...
