Re: Asus A8V Capacitor Help

I went to work and removed the old caps, a bit tough since my soldering iron is not very good, but they wiggled out. The hardest part was clearing the holes, which I did with a safety pin, touching it with the iron and gently twisting it until it pushed through.

Then, installed the new caps being very careful to keep the solder touching only what it should. The contacts are tiny.

Put the whole box back together, fingers crossed, pushed the power button...

Amazing!!!! It lives. I cannot tell you how good that...

Re: Asus A8V Capacitor Help

The shiny new caps arrived! Thanks to all for the help and suggestions.

I have another question. The contacts at the back of the board are tiny. It appears that one contact solders to quite a large area, while the other has a tiny round area of contact, within which the solder must remain, and not cross. See the attached photo where the red arrow is pointing (this is a [U]very[/U] enlarged photo). Is there a trick to keep the solder within this tiny area, or will the solder "wick to this surface automatically, or do I just need to...

Re: Asus A8V Capacitor Help

Thanks for the advice. I have ordered the Nichicon 8mm. I will post after the repair is made and let you all know how it turned out (if you are interested).

A couple more shots might help, and I am in the US. Thanks for all your help....

Real fast: computer posts, starts booting windows then sometimes reboots or gives a blue screen or locks up at the log-in screen. When I opened it up, the 6 caps next to the processor were popped. I am guessing this may be a problem!?!? The bad capacitors are 1500uf, 6.3v. Also read 105 degree C. A little under 1/2" in diameter, maybe an inch tall.

Can anyone point me to a place that I can get replacements. I have recapped the power supply for a LCD monitor, and I got the "kit" of the necessary caps from a site that sold such, but I have no idea where to get individual...

Re: Twin Samsung 931b monitors



New caps were delivered today, took about an hour to install and now the monitor is like new. Also came with a little solder so I didn't have to go digging around to try and find mine. I used a 25w iron, which may not be the best practice but it did the trick OK, and I am not an experienced solderer. I highly recommend this company if you are a little unsure about which caps to get for your monitor....

I found this company when looking for replacement caps for my 931b. They sell kits containing all the caps you would need to replace for your model of LCD. I just ordered and will post how it all turns out.Re: Twin Samsung 931b monitors<br />...w it all turns
