Re: hp compaq d530 sff mobo bad caps question

even tho the tall black ones r 1800uf 6.3v and the short purple are 820uf 2.5v?
lets see the lil purple ones r Sanyo tall black Rubycon and them green caps by printer port are hmm all I can find on it is KZE 16v 1200uf

explain 1800 6.3v, 820 uF 2.5v mixnmatched vs all same?

also what do you recommend for a soldering iron? watts
for solder i was gunna find some rosin core thin wire .08mm
the solder iron we have is like this big gun that turns red/orange hot when u hold down the trigger too long...

Re: compaq D530 replace electrolytic with solid?

sadly i dont see a edit button :/
sorry for double posting thought i had too much unwanted junk in my other post
and might have been why i was getting no responces

well I got a compaq d530 sff and some caps are out and I would like to replace em

I can only find solid 820uf 2.5v but need electrolytic it seems

also i read in a post dont buy from ebay? fake caps?
seemed like the best deal...

alright so my dad got me a computer lot for $10 at a garage sale a while ago now and it had a hp compaq d530 sff in it everything worked but the mobo,
most of the caps were leaking looking and 2 so bad they had rust spewing out
and a solid cap that looks like it was leaking on the top or another cap got its juices on it, the mobo boots but no post, right now its kinda parted out

but about 4 of these caps I can only find solid's and i dont think the ones on it are solid can I replace non solid caps with solid caps? these caps are to the left of the cpu lil short purple...
