Re: ABIT KR7A-133 bad caps

Thanks,

I didn't mean to appear to be complaining. Was just wondering how to get the right caps and return the wrong ones. I Thought I had ordered the
wrong ones until I checked my order. It could have been a simple substitution. They just won't work as they are too tall.

I sent an email to the admin address that came with my confirmation letter.
I was surprised to recieve the parts so quickly! Great service!! Just need to get the 1000uF 10V caps to finish it up. I would definitely ordr from him again though....

Re: ABIT KR7A-133 bad caps

I got my caps today and was going through them. Everything is good except the 1000uF 10v caps I ordered. I recieved 1500uF 10v caps instead. They are too tall and will interfere with the PCI cards. How can get the right caps or caps that will not interfere with the PCI cards when installed?

The old caps were just below the PCI slots. The new ones are about a 1/4 of an inch taller than the PCI slots.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. I'll replace them all then. BAD CAPS

I have an Abit KR7A-133 (no RAID) with bad caps. About 1/3 of them are physically bad (venting/bulging). The rest look physically good. I currently don't have a way to test the caps so I was wondering if I should replace them all anyway or just the obvious ones?

The symptoms (worse over time till it wouldn't stay on) were verticle multi-colored lines that I had to press reset to get rid of them. They might not re-appear for a couple of hours or a few days. And the computer would just turn off and not boot again (non-responsive) until you unplugged it from the wall for a few seconds....

Hello all.

I came across this site a couple of weeks ago and have been lurking to learn all I can on replacing bad caps. Thought I would join and post an intro.

I live in North Carolina. Married, with six children. Two are mine, three are my wifes and one is ours. All are grown, now I'm spoiling the grandkids!

I enjoy electronics, I like to see how things work and repair them if I can. Pretty much an all around tinkerer and handyman.

That's pretty much it!
