Re: Multiple boards,multiple problems

Hi kc8adu,

Indeed,clearing the cmos did the trick for the recapped board.
I made some pics from the spare server.They don't look all bad,but some of them have the know rounded tops as you can see.

Attached some pic of the spare server.
I must say that the mother board from the server looks better,pics from that one i will post later

kc8adu,i will pm you for more details regarding recapping those boards.

regards,

Gert...

Re: Multiple boards,multiple problems

It's in the middle of the night here and i just made the emergency repair with the recapped board into the streamserver.
Luckily it all went ok and where back on air right now.
Tomorrow i will take a closer look at this board to and make some pics.
I'm happy the recapped board did work after all......

Re: Multiple boards,multiple problems



I reffered to badcaps.net. I don't think there will be any export problems as long as i send it as ""repair" or someting. Besides that,i'm owning a postal adrees in Florida so resending can be through there if nessecairy.
If you do repair this might be interessting to me. I have some electronic skills,but i rather choose to have this done by somebody more experienced than me to make sure it will work afterwards.

Re: Multiple boards,multiple problems

I just exchanged the spare server board for the recapped one.
I took your advice and cleared the cmos by taking off the battery for 30 minutes or so ,en set the jumper.
Guess what? it works! I'm a bit happier now!
Unfortunatly i have to go for a family dinner so i don't have time to change servers now,but i will exchange this board for the one in the streamserver hoping to fix at least 1 pc.

Now the other board is out,it's also much easier to make some pictures which i will do asap.But i think i allready...

Re: Multiple boards,multiple problems

I will try to. The streamserver broke down again last night so i suspect it won't hold for long (2-3 times a day breakdown)
Since this is in use 24/7 and build into a 19 inch industrial housing it is difficult to take a look at the mainboard now.
(for a look into the studio server rack look here:

I will make some pics from the spare server as soon as possible.
I still can't believe both boards die at the same time...this...

Hi there,

I'm just popping in and give you the situation here.I'm using 2 VP6 dual pentium 3 servers here in a webradio environment.
Now i'm having the first problems which appears to be "'badcaps" but before doing someting stupid,i ask the experts here.

Server 1 is my streamserver (on 24/7),worked flawlessly for the last 2 years ,but the last weeks the pc is starting to do funny. Spontainiously reboots,or ""hanging"" into blue screens. Normally after rebooting it runs again.
the OS on this system is Windows 2003 server.After...
