    netvista 6578 recaps (+/- successful)

    Hi everyone,

    i'm very happy to have find to forum and recaps with some succes my ibm netvista 6578 motherboard. After a long don't working this PC is coming back to life after i change 1200 uF and 1500 uF caps. But now i have some stability problem with it. PC froze when installing OS. I suspect integrated video card to be faulty. Does anyone have similar problem after recaps only le biggest caps ? Maybe i will need to recaps other capacitor ! Some comments ?


    Thanks

      well don't know about netvista 6578

      but yeah sometimes weird things happen when installing on name brand PC's , they usually have there own setup disks
      (which has drivers etc)

      So maybe that is the issue you may have to hack the install to get it to work
      (build a slip stream CD with driver or something)

      Thats if you are using a windows retail type disk

      I dont know.

      Just on the caps did you replace all the caps are around the Cpu and Mosfets?
      (VRM is what I am talking about here)

      Or just a few that were popped

      Normally you replace all with new one's...its really the best and only way to go.

      They should be Quality Low ESR types for VRM
      (read posts around here you soon get what I mean, if you haven't already.)
      (sounds like you have thought)

      I ask this cause some people don't and they still could have failed caps or more likely caps that will fail soon


      Apart from that you could if you suspect a video problem perhaps turn it off and use a card if you can do it that with that MB..again don't know.

      Hopefully someone will post that knows these systems with more accurate info for you

      Cheers & welcome

          I replace all caps that have a vent. On some boards, this means 100uf and up. Bad caps around the agp, pci, or memory slot can have some strange effects that are hard to track down.

              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...

              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,...

              Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
              by Foetuss
              Good evening

              I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
              Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

              But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
              Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
