Re: Hp asus ipibl-lb

So, I am certain enough that the new PSU is worse than the original that I am not even going to open it up and post pics on the power supply forums. It is lighter weight than my Bestec (which is an ATX 250-12Z, by the way), and I just generally have a bad feeling about having impulsively clicked and purchased whatever seemed compatible without doing the research. Impatient rookie stuff.
Anyway, working on trying to send it back for a refund. (The site does not like to RMA undamaged goods, so we'll see. Lesson hopefully learned.)
Maybe this weekend...

Re: Hp asus ipibl-lb

Thank you for all of this.

I am going to see about those power supply suggestions.

Er, this is the one I ordered. Is it crap?

Re: Hp asus ipibl-lb



Hahaa! Yeah, I'm prepared for it to take me even longer than that, probably, but it's fine.
Before even touching this motherboard I'm going to get a junk motherboard and practice until it all feels familiar enough.

Thanks so much for confirming that the caps I asked about will be fine, and for the advice re: tools and supplies. I've been compiling a list of stuff to get, based on the recommendations & tutorials on this site. I really appreciate the TONS of helpful information.



Oy! Did...

Re: Hp asus ipibl-lb

Hi there.
I am completely new to the world of attempting to replace capacitors (or anything, for that matter) on my motherboard. But I'm determined to learn, and there's got to be a first time for everything. This machine is my first project/obsession in PC repair, so please feel free to tell me if it's insane to consider replacing caps at this point. Friends tell me it's very doable, but I'm open to second opinions. If this is too involved for a novice, I'll just replace the mb.

Anyway, I have an ASUS IPIBL-LB with two bulging capacitors...
