Re: Abit AN8 32X - bad caps (c_hegge pls read)

Since I can't edit my post (above) I will just add that I have read a bit more about how to remove bad caps as well as some general soldering techniques and info.

Ignore everything I wrote about needing equipment advice and such (the very fist tutorial video I googled/watched the guy was using some high tech machine...now I know it's possible without all that jazz). I found everything I needed to know here in the FAQ section.

Re: Abit AN8 32X - bad caps (c_hegge pls read)

I will try to get around to listing the other caps as soon as possible...looking at it right now and there are quite a few different types.
Some I am just now noticing look identical to each other, but actually have slight differences in what is printed on them.

On a secondary note...does anyone have a list of equipment I would need to buy if I was going to attempt this myself?
Maybe some specific links to a particular brand/model etc.

The only equipment I have is just a basic run of the mill...

I need to find the correct capacitors for my Abit AN8 32X motherboard.
From the pics you can see the following info printed on them (you can see the bulging cap in the background too)
KZG, 6.3V, 2200uF
(M)105°C, 5(7), DT (sorry, I tried to get this pic more clear)
Additionally I measured the following
Diameter: 10mm
Height: 20mm (see my question below)

I did find this old post which describes my exact problem (same Motherboard and same exact bad capacitors):

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hey Guys,
As soon as I get access I will be starting a new post in the Abit forums requesting help on how to pick the correct capacitors I need for a faulty motherboard.

HOWEVER! the original poster never linked/showed which replacement capacitors he bought (he did fix his motherboard though)...
