Re: intel se7505vb2 bad caps

@momaka, thx for the advice, I did try the suggestion of using a blob of solder on the tip of the iron, the 100w one, and no change. But one thing i noticed, apparently the tip is old and messed up, the solder wouldnt adhere to the tip. Just kept melting and not sticking to the iron. So I bought a new copper tip, and for the 35w as well, as the irons were a few yrs old. The 100w is all i used and I did freshly tin the tip, and after about a min the soldering gun made a pop and died. I still didnt get that old cap leg to de-solder. As for where its located,...

Re: intel se7505vb2 bad caps

just an update, i recapped all the swollen caps @ the time. But a new problem, I just noticed a day or 2 ago that another cap was swollen same board. Anyway my problem is that for some reason on this cap the solder seems to be harder to remove than before. I know it may be a dumb question, but is it possible that they used some hight temp solder? The irons im using are a 35 watt and 100 watt from rat shack, they are a few yrs old, but i dont recall having this problem de-soldering a cap on this same board? Its like i can leave my soldering iron on the...

Re: intel se7505vb2 bad caps

an update to my thread, the recap was a success, board works fine!! So thanks to everyone. But i did do one thing by accident. As i wasnt happy with the cpu i had put on it, a 400mhz bus one vs the 533 bus it could handle. on socket 1 the one behind the pink printer port is a lone short yellow cap. Its a 4v 560uf -55 c to 105c with some model #s i think of m 3o517, i accidentally tore that cap off, legs only in spot. I did this while trying to re=apply the hs clips for the retention holder. Anyway on the stores site, I found the following.

Re: intel se7505vb2 bad caps

ok thx for all the help u guys, i guess ill chalk this up to experience. Luckily it didnt cost too much, so based on the link given later for the 10v ones ill be ordering those in the next few days, then finally have this board to use. My next project will be tackling replacing caps on a memory edge card for a tyan i860 rambus xeon board. But that will be a different task.

Thanks!

Re: intel se7505vb2 bad caps

ok thanks for the info, fwiw the 2nd pic is the board i have but one thing its a mix of the 1st one, all those silver caps near the cpu skt in the 2nd pic are yellow cylinders on mine. Also I guess im screwed i got free shipping on these and it will cost more to send them back as it was online from radioshack via fleabay,then what i pd for the mess.
So given the link above those would be the correct ones but one thing they are rated for 10v which if i read correctly somewhere thats ok as they can handle more voltage just not the other way like...

I recently took this board out of my closet, its never been used and was purchased new 2 yrs ago. Then i had checked the board over and everything looked ok, even all the caps looked nice and flat. Anyway I went to finally get around to using it and 3 of the caps around the memory area are swollen, with one really swollen near the top.
My questions are the following. I purchased 5 new caps for the bad ones, the old ones are brown with the following: kzg 6.3v 2200uf (m)105c 3171 d1, all printed on the cylinder. The replacements i got were from ratshack and are the following: nte 6.3v 2200uf...
