I've gotten a couple of GX270 boards in where everything had been recapped except for those. They were so carefully pressed down that the recapper missed it.Comment

Pushing down the bulged vents could cause the capacitors to become a short circuit, possibly causing more damage!My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.Comment

what suck is as is mobo that have no failed caps. as is ones with badcaps are easy money half the time because new caps fixes the problem.
or ones that the title includes somthing involving "no bad caps!!!!!!!" and the pic they include is 40x40. no bad caps my ass.sigpic

Re: dell gx270...sorry but mashing the tops of blown caps wont make it work any better!
lol..
when i'm surfing on ebay for mainboards, i always look at the caps if the board is an older one..
and relatively often, i find autctions where the seller says "perfectly working condition" or "just like brand new"..
example pic (gigabyte dual socket 604 serverboard)
seller says "used, but in top condition"..
(link)
yeah.. sure..
look at the yellow Fujitsu caps..
especially next to the bios battery and at the lower one at the PCI slot..
i've even seen commercial (?) sellers (meaning non-private ones..) selling a sh*tload of used boards quite pricey but "tested & in perfect working condition" with kingsize pics of the board where you could see electrolyte oozing out of the caps.. arrrggghhhLast edited by Scenic; 07-30-2009, 09:10 AM.

But ONLY if you refill the electrolyte first!Originally posted by PCBONEZ
Just request a sample of electrolyte from Rubycon or Panasonic.... I'm sure they'll send out a bucket or two.

for added fun, be sure to put the (-) side where the (+) is marked on the board (and vice versa). makes the vinegar and baking soda volcano look like a popped zit!

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... -
First of all, I'd like to mention that I'm a novice when it comes to laptop repair, although I do have some experience with soldering.
One day, my laptop experienced a severe stutter, and after rebooting, it failed to boot into Windows. I decided to disassemble it and found that the PL900 component was blown. Later, I came across a post (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...error%E2%80%99) with the same problem, where...08-30-2024, 06:13 AM -
Hi,
Could someone help trying to unlock this BIOS, seems that Dell have changed the layout of new Dell Pro 8FC8 bioses from checking HXD - 4000 bits do not need changing, only 2000. However after FF the section starting from '01000' upto 2000 bits and then soldering the chip back it seems that the microchip on the motherboard is recovering the bios back to original settings after first boot. Has anyone found a way to crack this extra layer of security Dell have implemented? Seems both HP and Dell have upped bios security to match Lenovo by implementing extra measures on a separate... -
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... -
Recently I got a DELL PSU from a presision T3600. It is a 635W PSU which went out with a bang and some black smoke
. The model of the PSU is a D635EF made by DELTA.
The cause of the bang was a blown. TNY280PN Chip. How ever as a result or as a causo also two SMD resistors are smoked. I have been able to replace the TNY280 Chip but I do not know the values of the resistors. The resistors are within the Drain line of the TNY. I can not find the schematic of this PSU. THe resistor are Open Loop and on the voltage accross them is about 330V. (EU)
Any suggestions for...
