Re: 8mm x 8mm 680uf 105 degrees - 16V?
Hi Toasty -
Lord knows I don't want to say "Mission Accomplished" too soon, that's been done before and proved disastrous to the one who said it. But I am at a point where I have a little breathing room and I have a moment to thank you for all your help and patience.
I have just wound up around 20 hours or research, deciding whether or not to buy a tower or a cpu/mobo bundle or just a compatible mobo. During these hours I have made up my mind "for sure" more than once, (OK - it will be chipset...

Re: 8mm x 8mm 680uf 105 degrees - 16V?
Toasty, I may have had one drive connected when I erroneously turned on the computer in times past. It was a very random arrangement on a day to day basis. I have a HD which would not fully boot up but I was able to access it as a storage drive (when i connected it). I do remember that neither one was connected on the day that catastrophe struck.
I have been studying mainboards for the past few hours and have an information induced headache. I have a question, I'm pretty sure I know the answer but just want to be sure:

Re: 8mm x 8mm 680uf 105 degrees - 16V?
I may or may not have done it immediately. Your most recent comment makes sense to me because it was not the first time I had made the error.
Toasty,
Thanks for the links. I'm considering all options: re-buying the same board (easiest, obviously!), buying a new one (will require some research!!!), and even getting a new tower. I don't know what the shipping time is from England, but if I re-buy my board from one of the links you put up, I expect I'll have time to try re-capping the board I've got. I was...Leave a comment:

Re: 8mm x 8mm 680uf 105 degrees - 16V?
Hi PCBONEZ,
You're comment certainly has me wondering - here's why:
I use two hard drives and connect and unconnect them depending upon whichever I want to use. When they were both connected I noticed that my system seemed slow.
On the morning that my computer quit working, I mistakenly turned on the computer when neither one was connected. Realizing my mistake, I held the front button in to turn off the machine. I then plugged in one of my hard drives, turned on the computer and arrived exactly...Leave a comment:

Re: 8mm x 8mm 680uf 105 degrees - 16V?
I had the heat sink attached but not the fan. I discharged the computer and re-did testing with the fan. Voltages were the same for the new testing that I did.
I removed memory, all peripheral cards, and disconnected all the drive connectors. Cleared the BIOS. No beeps. [URL=http://laptok.nazwa.pl/allegro/ms7046/SPEC.pdf]I had to find a new copy of my m/b manual[/URL] because the link on the previous page wasn't working.

I forgot to mention -
I had a memory bubble up today. When I purchased my video card, a year ago, I saw that it required a 400W power supply. I checked, my power supply, saw that it was 350W and decided to let it ride. (Which I may have done - off a cliff.)

the measurements looked good with yellow being a smidge under:

Re: 8mm x 8mm 680uf 105 degrees - 16V?
Hi Toasty,
I think, for the time being, I would prefer focus on my PSU and not replace any more caps.
[URL=http://www.cwc-group.com/fspgrfs35pos.html]My PSU is:[/URL]
FSP350-60UMDN 350W Power Supply
FSP Group
Model No.: FSP350-60UMDN
AC Input : 115-120V 10A, 50/60Hz

Only $27 at that site! I have opened it up and looked at the caps. They show no visible signs of stress. [URL=http://www.flickr.com/photos/36818737@N03/3408412137/]There...Last edited by Tinhorn; 04-03-2009, 04:03 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: 8mm x 8mm 680uf 105 degrees - 16V?
Hi Toasty -
The education of Tinhorn continues!! I'm sure I've provided a chuckle or groan to some of those who are looking over our shoulders.
I installed the 4 new polymer caps and....no luck. My system is doing the same thing that it was. No bios beeps, no signal to the monitor. The fan runs very loudly for a second or two, then there is a two second pause with no power, and then power resumes and stays on. I can write out full details on the symptoms if you are curious, but I'm convinced that the problem with...Last edited by Tinhorn; 04-02-2009, 04:20 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: 8mm x 8mm 680uf 105 degrees - 16V?
Well I'm going to swallow my pride and ask another very basic question!
The caps have arrived and, after sniffing around longer than I'd care to admit, I'm not 100% sure which is the positive side and which is the negative.
The legs of the caps are the same length. The [URL=http://www.edc.sanyo.com/pdf/e112.pdf]link at Sanyo[/URL] has a diagram with an arrow pointing to the purple stripe and the words "polarity marking."
I did read the FAQ here at Badcaps, but the caps shown have a minus...Leave a comment:

I placed an order.
I ran that same search today ("sanyo SEPC 560uf solid polymer") and got a hit on the capking website.
Thanks for all your help!Leave a comment:

Re: 8mm x 8mm 680uf 105 degrees - 16V?
I will need 4 caps, but I intend to purchase extras just to have them on hand.
On the picture of my m/b you can see [URL=http://www.flickr.com/photos/36818737@N03/3390603631/in/photostream/]three blank spaces just above the cpu and one to the left of it.[/URL]

Re: 8mm x 8mm 680uf 105 degrees - 16V?
Thanks for the info kc8adu and Toasty.
I found another quote which is causing me to consider another strategy.
I have some caps which are too tall and not polymer, but I'm considering bending them flat to the m/b. [URL=http://www.nichicon-us.com/english/products/alm_mini/list_f.htm]I've linked them here[/URL]. I have the 8mm x 15mm case, and I don't see where information on the ESR is.

Re: 8mm x 8mm 680uf 105 degrees - 16V?
Hi Toasty,
I have been researching my predicament quite a bit, and after an hour or so I found a quote which makes me feel much better.
Finding an 8mm x 8mm capacitor like the ones I'm replacing proved to be very difficult, but I did find the SVPC and (maybe) the SVP series at Sanyo.
[URL=http://www.edc.sanyo.com/pdf/e102.pdf]the SVPC series[/URL]
For size E7, according to their size chart for the SVPC series, the diameter is 8mm and the height is 8.3mm. However,...Leave a comment:

Re: 8mm x 8mm 680uf 105 degrees - 16V?
Hi Toasty-
Thanks for straightening me out on the voltage. I can clearly see now, they were 4 v caps.
The manual for my mobo is located at:

I have found 8 "extra spots" where caps can go but there are none. They're locations are highlighted with red dots in this picture.
What types of caps do you put into the empty spots?

8mm x 8mm 680uf 105 degrees - 16V?
Hello,
This is a great website!
My computer quit working entirely and, with no bios beeps, members at two other websites were unable to help me. Having unplugged and removed whatever I could, I finally decided to go all the way, so I took off the fan and heat sink on my m/b.
Beneath, right next to the cpu, were four bulged out and dirty radial caps.
When I read over the list of bad caps printed here at badcaps, I was able to figure out the brand name of the caps, which I had thought was not printed on them. The "O" on the...
