I am repairing a Dell-5520. I haven't removed the MOBO yet, but was wondering if they are typically double sided with surface munt components on each side? I found the GR Board View File, and using FlexBV5, haven't figured out how to display the bottom side (assuming there is one).

Got it, thanks! I also just learned if you search for a component, clicking on it will tell you if it is on the top or bottom, at least on the Dell 5520 schematic.
One follow up question. Is there any way to superimpose the bottom view on the top view, maybe with a different color) so you can see how components line up?Comment

I do have several old pc motherboards which i recapped 10 year ago and some of those caps are bulged now.
I would like to upgrade them using solid capacitors. I do use them for testing and helping some alternative operating systems.
I would like to ask if such an upgrade can be done, what should i have in mind when replacing electrolytic by solid caps and if such thing exist, if there are caps list for old motherboards. I would have to figure out what caps needs each motherboard and then prepare a list to try to ask for them on some electronics stores. -
Hi All,
I just got one Macbook 12" that was not powering on. I found out that the battery was flat on right side so I charged it little bit with power supply and the MacBook turns on.
Problems that I have when I connect everything I can see for second apple logo and it it dims down, then there is apple logo with progress bar also only for second and then dims down. I found that issue is with trackpad (probably keyboard part) as when I disconnect keyboard from trackpad MacBook boots up normally. I took off the black cover on keyboard I was expecting some water damage... -
Hello!
I need to change the capacitors on my three original Xboxes.
Two of them are 1.6B revisions and have Hynix RAM, and the other one is a 1.6 with Samsung RAM.
The 1.6 has the infamous Nichicon HM capacitors around the CPU, which have all bulged and started to leak. This Xbox no longer powers on.
The 1.6B revisions have Rubycon MBZ capacitors that all look fine, but I’ll change them in due course. Both of these work fine.
I’ve seen some excellent threads on the forum about replacing/upgrading capacitors, but I can’t... -
Hi all
Hope this is in the correct place.
I'm planning on recapping both motherboards. I actually already ordered recplament caps for them, where I will be changing out most for poly's.
Could use some double checking to see if I'm not doing something stupid
.
Pictures of the boards are attached.
What I will be replacing with what : (planned)

I would like to ask if there is some kind of capacitor lists for motherboards, power supplies, video cards, audio cards, microcontroller powered home appliances, and so, that i could try to find and download. I use to repair those things and i would find it helpful if i could know in advance what parts may i need for common repairs.
