    Abit SA6 successfully recapped

    After getting a Abit SA6 with 18 bad jackcon caps on it for $10, I read everything I could here and last night recapped the board using free caps that I convinced jackcon to send me. This morning I fired up the board with a p3 667 and 128 of micron pc100.. Works beautifully at not only 133 fsb, but 175 Thanks guys, chances are I wouldnt have been able to do it without the information on this site and these forums. Hopefully this is the beginning of my recapping career!

              Nice job!! I wouldn't have recapped with Junkcons, but thats just me.... Nice install, and welcome to the forums!!

                  Thank you! Yeah I know, but they were free and I'm broke If they give me issues I'll replace them with rubycons or panasonics.

                      Oh before I forget, I've got a tip for you guys. I didnt have any flux, so to get the solder to flow onto the capacitor's leads, I made a paste out of baking soda and water and applied a tiny bit to the leads where I wanted the solder, then wiped most of it off with a cloth. Not quite as easy as real flux, but in a pinch it'll do.

                              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)

                              Greetings,

                              I have an Abit BE6-II motherboard that posts sporadically with the bare minimum components installed - CPU, RAM, PSU, and a Keyboard. I know it posts when the speaker beeps. Re-seating the components has no effect.

                              I thought the sporadic posting might be capacitor related. Upon inspection, non of the caps are bulged or leaking and they are all original. So, I pulled them ALL. While the ESR is OK, over half of them are leaking current between 1 and 2 mA. The biggest offenders are way out of spec, like a 1500uf / 6.3V measuring 2600uF and many of the 820uF caps...

                              Abit ST6-Raid repair
                              by tbalint3
                              Hello All,

                              I am trying to repair an old Abit ST6-R motherboard.

                              The symptoms are the following:
                              I got it in a non-working state. I was told that it sometimes turned on, but many times just the CPU fan was spinning and no other signs of life, the board didn't POST, and now it doesn't POST at all.

                              It was full of bulged electrolytic capacitors, so I replaced all of them with new Low-ESR ones, but it didn't solve the problem.
                              If I install a CPU in the S370 socket, only the fans are spinning and no POST. There are no beep codes even if the RAM DIMMs...

                              Hello,
                              previously I gave up on this MoBo, but here we are again. For starters I'll give a link to previous thread: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=95433
                              What has changed:
                              - I still don't have a PCI GPU, but I have a PCI dignostic board
                              - I measured the temperature and drain resistances of these hot MOSFETs:
