Re: Shuttle Motherboard - Bad Cap & Mosfet



The mosfet is not shorted but I'm not happy with it's appearance. I've looked into buying another but cannot find a UK supplier that stocks this item? The ID found on top is:
[B]636
T40
N03G
Manufacturer ON [/B]

if anyone knows where I can buy one I'd be most grateful.

Going back to the caps - could you recommend some from my UK supplier:- _http://uk.farnell.com as I'm very new at this and am unsure of the type I need.

From the MB it looks like I will need...

Hi all,

OK, my Shuttle PC turns on but won't POST (motherboard FD32) and I believe that I have found the problem (see thumbnail image). Now before I jump in with my soldering iron I have a few questions that I hope can be answered.

1. From my image above you will see that a Mosfet has suffered from the bad cap and I wonder if the whole repair is now viable due to the way the component/motherboard looks? There seems to be some serious discolouring (burning)? on the transistor legs and a noticeably lighter area on the underside on the motherboard.
