Re: PowerMac Dual 1Ghz Mirror Drive Pop&Burn Power Supply

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone in this thread, and the other related threads on here. Recently I repaired one of these power supplies thanks to the info on here and the capacitor list found on thehouseofmoth dot com. I had to do some digging to find suitable replacements for some of the parts, since I couldn't find them in stock from a reputable source. Here's a list to hopefully help the next person. The bridge rectifier and mosfets have slightly different specifications but they worked for me. Please verify for...

All that was needed was for me to replace the 6.3v 1800uF ost caps with 10v 1800uF nichicon caps, and replace 1 cap in the power supply. I can't say much about the ps because I had my friend do that for me, but I can tell you about the mobo. The nichicons I used were a little bigger and the leads were spaced apart further so that was a pain to deal with. After replacing those two caps I reset the cmos battery and then it posted fine. I noticed that the...

Re: Gateway (MPC) E4620

Do you have any updated info on how this project turned out? I have decided to learn the recapping skill, and will be using a few gateway e4620s to practice on. My main question now is that my mobo has no evercon caps, they are all taepo or ost. Should the 100uf 6.3v caps be replaced even though they are not evercon? The computers I have keep power cycling before posting, is this a sign of the bad psu? I did open the psu and saw 1 noticeably swallen cap. Thanks for any help
