Re: How to identify bad cap

thanks for the reply. ive tried multiple power supplies and get nothing. there is no beeps and i do have a speaker connected to the board. i have a multi tester but i have never tested a capacitor and would like to know if this tool would be able to do the job, its called a Fluke 12 Multimeter. thanks

Re: How to identify bad cap

thanks so much for the feedback guys. i checked the caps and no visual signs of damage. ill try to get the manufacture of them asap. also i have some computer experience. i don't believe the processor has overheated but i will confirm. i checked the voltages of the power supply and the readings are normal so i can only assume its the caps. thanks for all the info. ill have an update soon.

The cap manufacturer is Rubycon and on the side lists:

6.3 V 1000uf YXG

Hello, im new so bare with me, please. I have a Asus p4c800 e deluxe MB. all tests have been done trying to find out why it wont boot. i get no post. occasionally it will boot up and stay on for 5 min then shutdown and nothing afterwards. im assuming it has bad caps. nothing on the board looks abnormal. anyone give me a quick idea how i can identify the problem and if their are bad caps how to tell? thanks
