    Asus P5BV-E/SAS recap

    Posting here to document a recap of an Asus P5BV-E/SAS full-ATX server board. It's about a decade old, and generally not worth the trouble to recap, except that it has an on-board LSI SAS Raid controller which may be required for legacy reasons.

    It was chock full of 1500/6.3 and 820/6.3 KZGs, of which only one at XCE3 next to the PCI slot was visibly bulging. Here are the substitutions I did (for future reference):

    Location Orig New Comment
    XCE3 820/6.3 KZG 820/6.3 Panasonic FJS Next to PCIe slot
    PCE41 820/6.3 KZG 820/6.3 Panasonic FJS Next to PCIe slot
    UCE1 820/6.3 KZG 820/6.3 Panasonic FJS Near LSI SAS/Raid controller
    PCE20 1500/6.3 KZG 1500/10 Rubycon ZLH Near CMOS battery
    PCE42,43 820/6.3 KZG 820/6.3 Panasonic FJS Next to DIMM B2 slot
    SCE1 1000/6.3 TMZ 1500/6.3 Panasonic FJS Near Southbridge
    PCE37 820/6.3 KZG (not replaced) Near Southbridge, a bit tricky to remove
    SCE2 1500/6.3 KZG 1500/10 Rubycon ZLH Next to DIMM B2 slot
    PCE17,18 1500/6.3 KZG 1500/10 Rubycon ZLH Near CPU fan connector
    PCE10..14 1500/6.3 KZG 1500/10 Rubycon ZLH Near Northbridge and ATX24 power

    The 1500/6.3 FJS and 1500/10 ZLH are mostly interchangeable, I just used what I had in hand.

    There are ~10 820/6.3 KZGs which I left alone - near the keyboard connector, PCI slots, Super I/O and Southbridge as noted above. There isn't likely to be significant ripple current or hot air flow near these 10 caps, so I'll deal with them later if needed. For now, the board is POSTing and booting reliably with a Core 2 Duo E6700 and generic PC5300 DDR2 DIMMs.

    XFX GeForce 6800 XT AGP [PV-T42K-UDE3] – recapping and mods
    by momaka
    Aaaaand… we have more retro-PC nostalgia repairs again.
    This time it's with a XFX GeForce 6800 XT AGP video card. The XFX model number is PV-T42K-UDE3.

    As with many early XFX cards, crap caps are the main issue here. The first one I bought and recapped was back in 2017. I've been meaning to post about it for a long time, but never got around to it due to the card needing a better heatsink/cooler to test it fully with the recap (more on that later on.) In the meantime, I acquired a 2nd one of these cards not too long ago (February.) Not like this makes any difference. Both...

    Panasonic TC-P55ST50 8 blinks then no blinks
    by Andre Gilbert
    Hello! yes I know there is already lots of information about this issue. I have a Panasonic TC-P55ST50 that originally displayed an 8-blink error code. Following the troubleshooting flowchart, I ended up replacing the SS board. However, even after replacing it, the issue persists. The TV turns on and stays on without displaying an image, and continuity is confirmed on all connectors. What am I missing here🤔?
    Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting 😂.

    TV Model: Panasonic TC-P55ST50

    Panasonic 50st30 plasma tv, where do I need to recap?
    by benareeno
    In order to get a proper picture from this plasma...I have to raise the gamma setting in order to see a balanced pic with proper black detail and lower the contrast setting in order to see all the proper levels of white...this could simply be phosphor wear or perhaps I need to address some caps somewhere on one of the boards??

    I had a crt projector years ago, and the recap I did make it seem so much better in several ways..should I consider doing this on this plasma? And if so, what board or boards should I do?

    Delta DPS-300AB-24b 300 Watt ATX PSU recapping
    by momaka
    Figured I’d separate the recapping details of this PSU in a different thread so that the information can be easier to find. To be more specific, this thread is about recapping of the Delta DPS-300AB-24b, shown here. All details about the build quality of that PSU are posted there.

    Here is the PSU, just to see what we are dealing with:



    And here is a cap diagram:


    Let’s break it down what goes where…

    *** cap spot C952: Ltec LZG, 10V, 2200 uF, 10x30 mm before PI coil

    Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
    by AquaMan Ua
    Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...
