Re: MSI 694T Pro V5

Thanks for the info!!! I plan to go to my local electronics shop today and pick up some caps and solder it up.

(4) 1500uF / 10V
(3) 1000uF / 6.3V

willawake: yah I am going to replace only 1000uF and up since those are the only ones with the domed tops and fluid leaking from them. All the other caps look good and appear to be from a different manufacturer.

PeteS in CA: I will make sure I do that... that would suck... I replace all the caps then the flux shorts it all out when I power it up.

Thanks...

Well, my MSI board started acting funny yesterday, not booting up properly, crashing in different spots during post, giving weird errors, etc. I had a look on the net and came across badcaps and wow was I suprised. I had a look at the caps in my mobo and 6 of them are domed on top and 3 have leaked fluid onto the board.

I have done alot of soldering before and I was thinking of replacing the caps, does anyone have any suggestions, tips or tricks for a 694T Pro motherboard before I start?

I will try and post some before, during and after pics.

Thank...
