Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
Caps all changed and it's working a treat.
I would have really struggled removing the heat sink mount if I hadn't found this forum, I would probably be looking for small bolts to replace the chewed up plastic pins about now instead of installing windows updates.
So, a big thank you is in order.

The chipset heatsink is fine, I just checked and it's not loose at all.
There is another cap that is bubbled a little where the AGP slot meets the memory slot, going to change that too, 1500uf.Leave a comment:

It was caked in dust.
The guy that brought it said he had cleaned it and hoovered (vacuumed if your American
) it out.
I'm glad he doesn't clean my house...
I'm hoping changing the caps will stop it shutting down with a thermal error, although it seems a lot of work for such an old machine.Leave a comment:

Thought I would register to post a few pics of the badcaps in a Dell Optiplex GX270.
