Re: soyo-k7v dragon plus

Just thought I'd post a quick success story.

Had a Soyo K7V Dragon Plus. I wanted to resurrect it as a learning experience, not because I'm under some delusion that it's a great board . After some work, I discovered the capacitor problem. I ordered some Rubycon replacements from badcaps.net, bought a Weller WESD51 soldering iron, and just replaced them. All caps 1000uf or larger. I'd never soldered anything before in my life.

It was a success, although a time consuming one. Prime 95 / Memtest stable. I'd also recommend buy...
