Re: Belkin OmniView Enterprise KVM
I would've expected it to be a problem if you replaced with lower WV caps, depending on the average voltage itself...

Re: Ecs Mb694a
Good point... I'm incredibly tempted to get new caps now.
Should i only worry about values > 1000, or include them too?Leave a comment:

Ecs Mb694a
Hi again all,
I have an ECS board (as mentioned in the title) which, as I just discovered, has a stack of G-Luxon caps in it. They don't appear to be faulty - yet.
This is probably a stupid question, but due to the age of this m/b (manuf. 2001), should I be ordering replacements right away? -
Re: HP MicroStar MS-6577
I was wondering what brand the KZG's were, thanks for indirectly telling me :P mine has them also.Leave a comment:

Re: HP MicroStar MS-6577
i haven't actually had any real problems with the board as yet, just wanted to know if any of it is questionable

HP MicroStar MS-6577
Well, i've got a stock motherboard in an (almost) stock HP tower. I wasn't expecting very good quality, what with it being OEM. However, i found quite a few rubycon caps in it (right near the cpu), some pannys (mostly low uF), as well as (*vomits*) a few teapos (low to mid-high uF). :S
Is this any cause for concern? -
Re: CapXon "opened can"
Heh, the paper inside certainly doesn't look healthy... and btw apologies for the image quality, that's the closest i could get before the poor focusing of my camera made it blurry =/
EDIT: I just got the roll out of the can, and it looks like it's held together by sticky tape
will post more pics tomorrow.Leave a comment:

CapXon "opened can"
Hi all,
I took open a CapXon from a crappy "TT 300W" power supply. I decided to replace the two on the board as they were a bit warm even after the power was unplugged.
The cap pictured was a 330uF 200WV, soldered on the primary side.
Apart from the off-colour innards, there's a very distinct and disgusting smell, evident only upon close "whiffing".
Not to mention they were only measuring ~242uF. Since I don't have an ESR meter, and based on other's experiences, i can safely conclude that they are crap capacitors.... -
Re: Biostar M7VKD recapping
ah sorry about that, turned out to be incorrect fsb and ratio settings... i'm in the bios now, will check the voltage levels.
got a vcore of 1.65V, +3.3V rail is at 3.20, +5V is at 5.05, and +12 is at 12.30.Leave a comment:

Re: Biostar M7VKD recapping
Ok, for some reason the computer now gets to POST, but it's saying "BIOS ROM checksum error"... and is only accepting floppy boot disks. i've tried flashing the rom with the official rom file and flash program, but still no luck. also, it doesn't like more than one ram stick in at a time... should i replace the 1000uf G-Luxons also?

Re: Biostar M7VKD recapping
I completely neglected to test the board before i went for the replacement, as the caps looked so awful that i didn't trust it.
attached is the only in-focus pic of the old caps i could find....Leave a comment:

Biostar M7VKD recapping
Hi all,
I identified this board as having bad caps... i've replaced the high value ones with some other similar value capacitors (note that i have no idea what brand they are, the only noticable markings are "7123MB" and "W"), however the board doesn't even get to POST. no beeps either.
I'm wondering how i should trouble shoot this. should i check the voltages at the regulators and check for proper continuity?
