Re: MS-7548 Failed TK Caps

Great Success! Well, it has been a YEAR since I originally sought guidance on here regarding failed Vcore TK caps on an MS-7548. I originally quoted a few weeks turn around, HAHA, life got in the way!

Anyways, I finally got around to the task and brought new life to the MB. The TKs looked like mazade's pics on page 1 of this thread. I replaced them with Nichicon's I bought thru this site.

Thank you all for the help!

I see the other caps you pointed out. I might just replace all of the TK caps on the board for peace of mind.

I will order the caps here on Badcaps.net since I imagine that the proceeds from sales are probably what keep the site running.

Now I just have to find the time. It will probably be a couple of weeks. I will check back in to let y'all know how it works out.

The power supply voltages check out with a DMM but I am going to O-scope it to check for excessive ripple.

A few questions before I get started:

1. What caps should be used? (cost vs. practicality, the thing is 5 yrs old)

2. How many? (I noticed...
