Hiya,

I am new here at the forums, and that may be why I couldnt find answers to these quick questions...

I am working on a failed system... No nothin' on power up attempt... (P.S. green light flashes when I connect it to mobo...) 2 bulged caps (1000microF) next to cpu... Larger caps in same row, and others on the mobo, are 'unbulged'...

Is it likely that replacing those two caps will enable the mobo to function?...

How likely is it that failure of the mobo caused damage to the cpu?

How likely is it that a new cpu would...

Hi all,

I just signed up on this site... I know that a P.S. must be tested 'under load'...

one told me there is a 'jig' available at low cost, that provides a load for the P.S., and indicates performance by LED's... prob a 'quick', not 'deep', diagnostic tool, but it is all I have need for right now... have looked for, and have not found, such a thing...

Can one point me toward it?

Thanks in advance, for any and all responses...
