Re: Shuttle XPC SD30G2B (FD30 motherboard)

The bad one is green OST 10v 1000uf, there are total of 8.
Other brands of the bigger caps are KZJ, KZG, and RLX.

I just acquired a Shuttle XPC SD30G2B from a lot of assorted parts off craigslist and the system does not power up. The flex atx power supply isn't the problem since doesn't power up using a full sized atx psu. The previous owner say it just stopped powering up a few months ago.

It's a FD30 rev 1.x board. Only one capacitor that has signs of failure (slight puff). I'm planning on replacing it and others identical.

Has anyone had experienced or comments on this board?

Re: Shuttle XPC SN68SG2 Badcaps

Hey guys, just signed up here to post that I successfully replaced two bulging 1800uf caps on my Shuttle SN68SG2. Got a pair of Nichicon caps from local electronics store for buck apiece. Practiced on an old motherboard using Hakko 936 then did the deed on the real thing. Feels damn good when the thing posted and booted right up.

The system had suddenly started to shutdown 3 sec after power on when a pcix graphics card was installed. It would boot with the integrated video, but I need the card for hdmi....
