Re: HP 1502 (P9617D) pulsing on and off with bad capacitors

Thanks to this thread, this forum and the guys posting here, there is another happily working Hp 1502. It`s a bit beat up after all these year but still looking good.

Re: Old GA-7VT600 missing caps

Well, it`s job done. Thanks for the photos and info provided by you guys.

In total, I`ve put 5 caps, some crappy one, but it`ll do.

I guess 6 hours with prime95 makes it a pretty reliable mb.

The sound issue is still there. I fixed that too by putting a cheap sound card in it.

Thanks to all of you!

Re: Old GA-7VT600 missing caps

that is what I was looking for, Uranium.

I had a feeling that 3300uF @6.3V are needed and now I`m sure.

Sadly, at the moment I only have KZG caps salvaged from another mobo.

Thanks all for replies!

Re: Old GA-7VT600 missing caps

Thanks for the info mariushm, I`ll have to do some research!

@Spitz Yes, probably the caps were used on another mb but I didn`t remove them. That`s why I asked in the first place.

Still, can`t explain how can it work with 4 caps missing...

Found this forum just a week back and it`s awesome, lots of useful stuff here and the community is just outstanding. Thanks for existing!

I got a Gigabyte GA-7VT600 MB, salvaged from recycle bin, because I thought it was faulty.

One day I decided to test it once again and to my surprise it worked well at first glance. I`ve installed an OS, drivers and even some games. But then for unknown reason I removed it from the case to discover that it has about 4 caps(EC31,EC33,EC36,EC38) missing (didn`t noticed this when putting it in). I must admit that I didn`t stress test...
