    There's this amazing website, I don't know if you've heard of it, it's called Google.

      Don't mind him. - He bought their stock so he sends everyone there.

      If they are bloated/leaking it's easy. Look at them.

      If they aren't bloated or leaking you need an ohm meter, an ESR meter, and soldering equipment. (Can't check caps in parallel without removing them.)

        No stock here PCBONEZ, but we do have very detailed instructions complete with pictures on the badcaps.net homepage. It just rubs me the wrong way when people start asking stupid questions without even attempting to look around.

          I hear you on that one but he's looking for an easy way to find bad caps.
          There isn't one, so he isn't going to find it even with google.

            Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
            by Bowline
            My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

            Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

            My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
            The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
            I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

            Dell Dimension PSU Compatibility - B110 PSU in 4550
            by SwedishDiesel
            Howdy folks,

            I've risen from the grave to ask more questions about old obsolete Dells.

            I've acquired a Dell Dimension 4550 which is in need of a PSU - I've several PSUs from Dell Dimension B110s, and I'm wondering if one of them could be used. The PSUs and the 4550 use a 20-pin connector and a 4-pin connector.

            The issue is, I've been told that Dell really likes using proprietary hardware, and there were concerns about damage being caused by an incompatible supply. Because of this I'm assuming it's not just a simple plug-and-play and that there's more...

            Dell Inspiron 5590 Board 18778-1 no charging, charging not possible
            by master3112
            I would like to share my experience about charging issues with Dell power supplies with the tech community. I am working on a Dell Inspiron 5590, Mainboard 18778-1 with charging problems. The device can be switched on and works so far, only the message appears at startup:

            Alert! The AC power adapter wattage and Type cannot be determined. The battery may not change. The System will adjust the performace to match the power available.

            The power supply unit is not recognized in the Bios and the charging process is set to "idle". I use original Dell battery, type...

            this is my first post, so if I make mistakes please do not hesitate to point them out, thank you in advance.

            I got a Dell Latitude 5420 (Service Tag: 7RFM6D3, Motherboard: GDF40 LA-491P Rev.: 2.0 (A01)) which does not start and I want to repair it. These are the symptoms:

            If the laptop is only connected to the AC adapter (battery removed):

            When I press the power button, the keyboard backlight and the display backlight are turning on. Caps key light is lightning, but key does not respond to pressing it.

            The power/battery...
