Re: Advice for replacements for some Rubycons

Thanks both. The board has pretty good diagnostic LEDs, they are still saying vrm0 failure. I don't have a port 80H, but can try and pick one up if you think it'll be a useful investment.

Before I proceeded to trying to replace a few more caps I figured I'd get some opinions on whether the first two should have been ok, so if you think they should, then I can proceed.

Hello, I was hoping some of you kind souls could give me some advice.

I have a couple of old motherboards I'd like to have a go at repairing. They come from Dell Precision 670s, and the caps have gone bad.

Ultimately, I intend on getting rid of them, but it's a fun project to practise my (de)soldering on, so I want to see if I can resurrect them, even if only temporarily. I'd also like to check if there's anything on the onboard RAID array I missed backing up (I don't think there is, but you never know).

It's the VRM caps that visibly leaked, so I removed...
