Re: SuperDot Motherboard Recap Repopped Caps

Bad wording on my part. Originals were Sanyos 6.3v 1000mf 8x14mm, replaced them with new Nichicon 8x15mm and a few 8x13mm of another brand (board not with me at moment). Which was another question I had: How much does height of a cap matter? I usually try to match exact dimensions, but I was in a jam and substituted a few 13mm tall caps for the 14mm originals as noted above.

Thanks guys for the ideas on what to check next.

Just finished recapping a SuperDot Motherboard. After successful power up, it re-blew the exact 2 same caps which were visibly popped in the first place. See attached picture with finger pointing to the 2 bad caps (Sanyo 6.3V, 1000mf). There were about 15 of these on the board, all but 2 of which I replaced even though they looked fine. Any ideas what I should try next? This is the first time I have had this type of problem. Thanks to anyone who has seen this before and can help....

Re: Recapping Asus Board with Cool Stack

Just recapped a Asus P5AD2-E Premium with no success. Board LED lights, fans come up, but no beep, no post, no monitor. Wondering if the process of resoldering Stack Cool could have anything to do with it? When I replaced the caps, I soldered the caps to the Stack Cool, assuming/hoping the solder somehow drops onto the contact on the primary motherboard. Is that how it works? Does the Stack Cool have any electrical contact with the primary motherboard?
