    It appears that some A7N8X motherboards have bad caps!!!

    A user over at ocforums.com said that random reboots started occuring and during a first time boot, it always reboots then is fine for a little while and that there's residue on caps:

      Yah, mine popped several months ago, Nichicon HMM caps.

      Then I blew some Rubycons from the board being stenciled backwards, I got most of the caps in correctly, but blew the 3 above the agp slot by installing them backwards.

          was the board damaged?

                      Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                      by Paxman_Swede
                      Hello!

                      I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                      The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                      I have studied the board and...

                      Help with switching power supply caps
                      by captain150
                      I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                      I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

                      Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
                      by Foetuss
                      Good evening

                      I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                      Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                      But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                      Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...

                      Casing Power MPT-301 [PCB ATX9806b-p REV: A3]
                      by momaka
                      This one should make @Pentium4 smile (if he is still reading BCN forums) – I got a new old stock / open box Casing Power MPT-301 PSU on eBay for $4 total.


                      Yes, it’s a very generic-looking box, but the manufacturer isn’t (at least not back in the days), which is…

                      Macron Power Technology Co. LTD.

                      Let’s look at the PSU itself.



                      The shell/case also appears quite generic, like many “sold-with-the-PC-case” units. However, the shell is well-formed and has decent steel thickness. In terms of...

                      EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP 256MD2 [256-A8-N542-T2] with bad caps - fixed
                      by momaka
                      I did it again – I had to fulfill my inner desire to fix yet another old piece of hardware. This one is actually kind of worthwhile, too – it’s an EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP video card, model P/N: 256-A8-N542-T2. With the popularity of “retro” PCs from the Win9x to XP era going up, and the diminishing supply of decent AGP cards, it is expected their prices will go up. Or is it? I bought the this video card rather on the cheap side (~$9 USD shipped to my door), because the eBay seller listed it for parts or repair (and correctly noted the bad capacitors.)

                      So, here is the...
