Re: Emachines - Intel D102GGC2 board

Well I got busy and forgot to post back the results of the repair. Taking c hegge's advice I used MCZ's to replace all the KZG's with success. The guy is still very happy with the repair.

Thanks to everyone.

c hegge , thanks for the "super low " ESR cap list for motherboards. Very helpful.

Thx Mate,

Its been a spell since I visited here. I have been using [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=921"]this[/URL] list for quite some time. Knock on wood , nothing has come back blown up. Thanks for the links to the Ruby's , makes it easy to pick them up when they are being offered by the House. Saved me time, nice indeed.

Cheers from Texas

Hi Folks,

A friend has passed me a lemon, and I'm undecided whether to ditch it for an exact new board from Ebay , replace the bad caps or a complete recap. The board has mostly Chemicon KZG's and a few small Ruby's. There are 2 bulging caps 6.3v/820uf between the ATX conn. and the ram slots, the only other is a single 6.3v/3300uf near the northbridge. The junk Bestec also has a bad cap on one of the outputs, so it looks like the cause. He bought used so who knows for sure when the caps all went bad. A new PSU is on the way since I will not waste my time with a Bestec. Searching...
