    First time recap success

    SUCCESS!
    Just for the record, I replaced a couple of Caps in a sx270 today.
    This was my first time ever trying to fix a motherboard.
    I am very thankful to topcat and all the information I got from reading this forum. (and also to topcat for sending me the parts I needed when radio shack failed me!)

    It was a nice feeling taking something that was headed for the dustbin and making it run again!

    Once again, Thank you.

              Not meaning to hi-jack your thread...
              I re-capped my first today!!!!!!!!

              F*ck*n awesome...better than the 1st pc i put together.
              What made it sweeter was the machine was a GX270 dumped on the footpath outside the previous owners home.Come with a P4 2.4 800Mhz HT cpu and 3 x 128MB ram sticks.No hard drive/optical drive of course.

              THANK YOU to Topcat and the Badcaps contributors.I would never have attempted such a repair without this website/forum.

              Next project....a lovely Asus P4P800 Deluxe mb...

                      Gaming Laptop Zephyrus S17 TFT not detected every time !
                      by titomno2
                      Hi guys,
                      I post my problem here because I think it could be a capacitor related issue (Asus support on this particular subject is non-existing).
                      So the computer is a Zephyrus-S17-GX735LXS-26T and the strange behavior is seen.
                      On cold start most of the time the internal screen is detected and a picture it works fine until shutdown, sleep or deep sleep.
                      Then the screen won't work for a long period of time.
                      If I wait 1 or 2 hours it work again most of the time.
                      When it doesn't work the batterie indicator blink 3 times white stop and the same schematic is repeated...

                      Adding a clock battery to action camera to retain date&time when changing batteries Campark X25
                      by flat-earther
                      I have a cheap action camera with an annoying trait, every time I change batteries the date & time gets reset and I have to set it again.

                      To solve this problem I want to add a small internal battery inside it which will keep supplying power to the camera for a while while I change batteries so the date & time is retained.

                      I have opened the camera and I think there is enough room to add something inside to accomplish this:

                      The camera is powered by a 3.7V nominal single cell lithium ion battery.
                      So I need to connect another battery in...

                      HP Pavilion dm4-1065dx long time to get the power led on
                      by OscarAV
                      Hello,

                      I just came here to see if someone has had the same problem I have, and if he or she solved It, to know how to do It.

                      I have made a quick search for my laptop but I have not seen anything similar.

                      I have an old laptop, an HP Pavilion dm4-1065dx which takes a lot of time to be ready to start if the laptop has been unplugged for a while. It has no battery. The battery failed long time ago. It needs to be plugged to work. But as I said, It can take a lot of time until the charging led gets on, and I can switch on the laptop. I am using an external monitor...

                      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:


                      CPU VRM area up close…...

                      Pioneer RM-07 Active monitors cutting out from time to time
                      by BigOof
                      I have a pair of Pioneer RM-07 monitors that I bought a while ago. When I was testing them I noticed that one speaker would cut out and I thought it was just a bad cable connection. At the price they were being sold for I was willing to take a risk on them. However, 6 months later and the one monitor still has the same issue. Most of the time it works, but there are times that the power LED is on but I get absolutely no sound. I can hear the relay clicking on/off sometimes and then it will/won't work depending on what it feels like. I've tried XLR and RCA inputs with the same issue. There's no...
