Re: Delta DPSN-96AP (xbox version 1.0 power supply)

By the way, thank you very much tiggerific, I think I am narrowing this problem down and will eventually get a solution. I am just trying to find out what replacement I need, get someone to confirm that it will work, and then try and tackle the problem.

Check out the last couple of posts - they are mine and DarkMatter has some interesting pointers. I'm just kinda cross foruming this because working together is better :-)Re: Delta DPSN-96AP (xbox version 1....and DarkMatter

(I have posted this question on other forums also, mostly xbox forums, but this forum has to do with bad capacitors, and seeing that my problem has a bad capacitor in it, I thought I'd post it here too.)

I just recently got an xbox off of ebay knowing that the power supply wasn't working in the hopes that I could repair it. I took a look inside and sure thing there was a capacitor and some sort of chip that were looking kinda burnt. I have attached a whole lot of pictures for all your consideration to see if you can help me out with what I have to do.

Just two days...

Re: Asus A7N8X Deluxe - 1 bad capacitor, 1 close to bad - but still runs

I'm new to this entire capacitor thing - is there a specific model that I need to get in order to replace them? What are the specs on the type of capacitor that I need? Also, after reading some posts on the forums here I've heard that the Rubycon capacitors are really good - I went to the three sites that were suggested in the FAQ section, but I found it hard to purchace specific capacitors. Any help with this would also be much appreciated.

Re: Asus A7N8X Deluxe - 1 bad capacitor, 1 close to bad - but still runs

So can I simply chip off the 'ant hill' off of the top of that capacitor, or will that make the system behave even worse?

About a year and a half ago my comp started requiring many restarts to boot up due to the image on the screen being all out of wack. In my experience this was always a telltale sign of videocard failure. I took my video card (ATI 9700 All in Wonder) out of my machine and tested it in a friends computer. It worked and so I wondered what the culprit could be. I checked my BIOS and realized that my +5 voltage was running way under the threshold (~4.5v) and then I thought it was the power supply. I got an RMA on the power supply and things worked and I thought my troubles had ended.
