Re: Dell Optiplex GX270

well, I've had to start for no video. I almost always fail to get it to boot up. It MAY start booting up but usually fails before the O/S loads. And there are at least 2 burst caps and 2 swelled caps on the mobo. I know every board is different on the caps it may need replacing. But the photo of the one board has circles and arrows of what needs replacing if it is the defective type. Just wondering if there was a similar pic for my type. Not so much "these have to be replaced" so much as "If you have bad caps, these are the ones to check&q...

Re: Dell Optiplex GX270

Is there someplace that shows the different caps that need to be replaced per board? I saw the one for the ff board my mine is a smt (small mid-tower). That is 4 ram slots and 4 expansion card slots plus video. A nice pic with arrows for that board on which to replace would be awesome.
