    MSI Micro-ATX Oozing from the top!

    About a 6 months ago I got a new motherboard because my old one was just fried and I they gave me a MSI Micro-ATX and I was moving my monitor and it shut off, so I tried to turn it back in and it said no signal. The computer was turning on so I hooked it up with my other computer and it worked, so I figured it must be my computer then. When I opened it up I found this



    is this bad?

      That's classic bad caps. Its in need of recapping. If you can't do it yourself, shoot me or KC8 a PM, either of us can.

              No doubt or mistaking it. It has bad caps.

                          [LA-J891P] Warm cpu on 19v rail injection, is it fried ?
                          by tamerelapute
                          Hi,
                          I'm learning electronics(already have some basics) by fixing a FH52M LA-J891P rev1B. It come from an acer nitro 5. The charger was defaulting upon pluging. The 19V rail resistance is 0ohm (I believe that caps screw my measurement). When i inject 5A, I get a rail tension of 1.3V, and 0.8V vcccore.
                          Except the cpu, I cant feel anything getting warmer.
                          I believe that it is normal, because the cpu is "eating" half the power I'm imputing.
                          I dont know if the cpu is fried, because I did not remove the big capacitor on vcccore.
                          I believe that if the cpu was fried,...

                          Samsung UN65AU8000FF fried by water
                          by x_orange90_x
                          I was given this tv today. It was purchased just last month and only used for 3 weeks until recently when water leaked down the back and behind the cover. I removed the boards and WHOA 😲 did this thing get fried. Unfortunately the water got directly onto the backlights portion of the PSU. The board appears to be completely unrepairable, but I'm not certain about the backlights. I managed to get the probes of my tester into the slits of the plug and I DO get readings from both strings. I'm getting 26v from both. The PSU says LED Output is 167.4v however. Would this indicate that the backlights...

                          Fried capacitor on Dell-5520. Guilty as charged.
                          by Lapsmith
                          While installing new SSD's in my new to me Dell 5520 laptop, I dropped a screw which sparked and fried a capacitor. Yes, I know I should have disconnecte the battery first Doh!😡. The laptop runs fine, but I want to replace the capacitor asap. I ordered and received the replacement (10uF, 25V 0603). Since I also managed to burn up one of the pads it was soldered to, my main question is whether it is okay to solder this capacitor on top of another capacitor (same size, same function in circuit). Specifically, PC4428 is bad and no way to easily solder to the board. I would like to solder it piggy...

                          Intel PC hooked to X90L television picture cut-off
                          by Jackching
                          I have my Intel PC hooked to my Sony X90L television and each time the power is cycled on the tv, the bottom of the PC screen gets cut-off. Only half of the taskbar shows until i go into display settings and cycle the display size and it'll work fine until the next time I power off the tv. I updated the drivers. The graphics is UHD 630.
