Re: Recappinq question on Abit VP6
yes. In my opinion you can simply use the 1500uF caps... but with the 2200uF you shouldn't have any problem.
That's it....

Re: Recappinq question on Abit VP6
[B][SIZE=2]YEAH! Finally I got success[/SIZE][/B] 
I'm very happy... my little Frankenstein is still alive and sincerly I was losing hope.
Yesterday I wanted to make the last attempt. I took my tester and verified all the solderings. One of them seemed to be not well done, so I decided to remake it once again, substituting the cap with the next to last one.
It was very difficult to sold the cap to the board because the tin didn't want to move away from the iron. By the way I bended one lead to make a better...Leave a comment:

Re: Recappinq question on Abit VP6
I did some other tests without any result. I tried the motherboard with another psu but nothing changed.
I also tried to clean the flux... but with no results.
The system starts to load but hangs after few seconds... (BART PE completes 1 step of the loading bar...) it seems like a memory problem.
Examining the board, the only "strange" thing noticeable is that a trace could seem damaged but sincerly I'm not sure about that and I really don't know how I can repair it.
I post some pictures (before...Leave a comment:

Re: Recappinq question on Abit VP6
before the recapping my pc could at least load the OS...
If now it can't, I think I have mistaken something... because even if the power supply is bad, however I should be in the same pre-recapping situation, shouldn't I?
The question is.... I don't know [B]what[/B] the hell is wrong.
In the next days I'll look for another psu and try with it.
Anyway I'm very grateful for your supportRe: Recappinq question on Abit VP6

Re: Recappinq question on Abit VP6
The situation hasn't changed.
Now all the caps are right. The first time I switched the pc on everything seemed working fine. Windows XP loaded.... I did the login.... but after one minute my pc rebooted itself and now the situation is the same described above.
I can enter into the bios, the mobo finds the peripherals but when it tries to boot nothing happens (black screen), also from a rescue cd (BART PE).
Dunno... I think the solderings are ok
Please help!!!

Re: Recappinq question on Abit VP6
well... it seems that I wasn't lucky.
finally I did these replacements:[list][*]15 x 1500uF 6.3v Panasonic EEUFM0J152 (I would have had to use the 2200uF caps, as said in the last discussion, but RS-COMPONENTS made a disaster with my order and for me it's like a miracle that I could get the 1500 ones...)[*]4 x 1000uF 16v 10 mm Panasonic EEUFM1C102[*]4 x 1000uF [COLOR=Red][B]10v[/B][/COLOR] 8 mm Panasonic EEUFM1A102L[/list]

Re: Recappinq question on Abit VP6
well... after one month waiting for the panasonic fm 1500uf 6.3v, bounced from one delay to another one... I have been informed by the vendor that the availability for these caps will be only from MARCH 2007 onwards!!!!! (rs-components)....
Now I must choose a substitute and I can't decide between:[list=1][*]Rubycon 1500uf 6.3v ZL series (6.3ZL1500M10X20)[*]Panasonic 2200uf 6.3v FM series (EEUFM0J222L)[/list]
The problem is that the height of the second one is 23 mm (while the Rubycon is 20) and I saw that I could...Leave a comment:

Re: Recappinq question on Abit VP6
well... my favourite shop has the 2200uf caps, but...not enough! So I decided to order the other ones (1500uf) because I should have them at home quickly. I will try to post some pictures, but unfortunately there isn't visible damages Anyway, thanks all and... stay tuned if you wanna listen to my desperate shout!

Re: Recappinq question on Abit VP6
Thanks all. I have already read the posts where someone says that 2200uf is the best choice... I was just wondering if the lenght of 25mm (instead of the classic 20mm) could be annoying...Leave a comment:

Recappinq question on Abit VP6
Hi all, I'm a newbie from Italy.
I have an Abit VP6 motherboard with capacitors problems.
About two years ago a frien of mine helped me in recapping the mobo (he changed the originals 1500uf 6.3v with Panasonic 1800uf 25v).
All have been working fine until now, but in these days I had once again random power-off, freezing and rebooting problems.
So I decided to recap all the principal capacitors again.
I read the FAQ but I have still some doubts.
My mobo doesn't have 1000uf 10v 10mm capacitors (mentioned in the VP6 recapping threads)!!...
