Willawake - how are you mate
Sounds like SPA caps are not yet part of your kit range. Then again, if your other caps do the job there's probably not much reason to add them.

Re: Lelon Polymer Caps
Just wondering...
Several years have passed since I did capacitor surgery on two Soltek 75KAV mobos. Both are still going but the bulging/leaking capacitor problem is reappearing. The low esr caps I purchased locally were probably as flakey as the originals.
Have you been able to source replacement caps of the Solid Polymer Aluminum type for any of your mobo cap kits?
I would have thought the SPA's would have made it onto the component market by now. If not, any other recommendations?

Worth its weight in gold for cap replacement. This one has 3 levels of magnification - I used all three of them!

Resizing one of the 4 images above - possible?
Thanks willawake
I just noticed that the third image in the cap removal sequence slipped through in a larger size than I intended. Is it possible for me to edit/replace it with a smaller version so all the pics are roughly the same?Leave a comment:

Thanks to this forum Soltek 75KAV problems solved!
This forum and all info therein is greatly appreciated. I've just got my Soltek 75KAV mobo back up and running after nearly going bald with stress to do with growing flakiness and data loss on my Soltek 75KAV system. I found this forum via the [URL=http://pressf1.pcworld.co.nz/forumdisplay.php?f=4]PressF1[/URL] New Zealand forum.
