Thanks for the info guys. I will see if I can pinpoint the problem now after I get my meter back.Leave a comment:

Re: No post with selectivly recapped P4MA Pro
Regarding the VRM MOSFET's, they all [B]look[/B] fine. I don't know how to check them otherwise.
I don't think any of the caps were ever revered when installing them. I'll have to wait till I get my multimeter back to check the caps, but thanks for the suggestion, this may give me some clue as to whats wrong. Do I need the PSU hooked to the board when testing this? Also, I have made sure the solder joints are done much better this time around.
And I don't see any splatter that would cause a short. Is it possible some...

Re: No post with selectivly recapped P4MA Pro
Thanks for the reply PCBONES.
Should have checked about ESR on those caps before ordering...
Anyway, CMOS jumper is not in clear CMOS position.
P4 connector is connected.
Tried connecting power supply to drive already too, a no go as well.
I've tried the same setup on another mobo and it worked, so it is not a CPU, RAM, etc.
Think I may have to give up. Oh well, at least I have a bit more know-how in case I have to try this again sometime....

Re: No post with selectivly recapped P4MA Pro
Ok, so I ordered replacement 6.3v 3300uf caps. (Panasonic NHG) -> [url]http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=P5511-ND[/url]
And
16v 1500uf (Panasonic FC) -> [url]http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=P10254-ND[/url]
Replaced the OST's and previously too large caps.
But, same deal. No post, no nothing when I short the power pins on the Fpanel conector.
Are there any other options, things to test? I am...Leave a comment:

Re: No post with selectivly recapped P4MA Pro
Thanks, momaka, I did not know about the increase in ESR. If I order more replacements, I will make sure to get the right sizes this time.(I didn't think 2mm could make such a difference, but now I know I was dead wrong...lol)
I had the same idea earlier today.
I got mine cheap from radio shack too. Thanks for the tips, I will give them a try....

PCBONEZ, thanks.
Found one on Fry's for not a bad price. Now if only they sold caps too, or I will find myself paying for shipping thrice to get this mobo working. xD Think I will have to stick with the 45W for the moment, but good to know that Fry's carries soldering equip, thanks.Leave a comment:

Hi Toasty,
Thanks for the pic and suggestion, I will take it, and redo these joints. I know they all made contact with the solder, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try and do a better job. (yep I know it was shoddy.) Working with a 45Watt iron seems to take forever to heat stuff up. I'll try to clean it up and see what happens.
Thanks

Re: No post with selectivly recapped P4MA Pro
Thanks for the Replies guys.
No beep or any POST code when attempting to power on.
No indicator LED on board that I can see.
PSU is ok, got it from a working machine, and tested it with paperclip and fan spun.
Checked for soldier hairs + spatter, none that I could see.
Reset CMOS with jumper.
Damn, comes down to the 16v "OST's". Had them ordered, but the ones I had selected were out of stock and I didn't want to put them on back order,...Leave a comment:

No post with selectivly recapped P4MA Pro
Hi all,
I just finished recapping a board that I got from a buddy that had died on him. There were 6 visibly bad caps, so I decided that I would replace them, and see where that got me.
When I try to power on the board though the fpanel connecter with a jumper, I get nothing.(I downloaded the motherboard manual to find out which is the power)
I used Panasonic FM 3300uf 6.3v replacements. (had to work around the size issue which I mistakenly made)
All capacitors are correctly oriented afaik, and leads are all soldered. My friend used the board with bad...Last edited by Datz; 02-19-2009, 09:14 PM. -
Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
Thanks kc8adu, I'll look for some panasonic fm's. I found some caps that would work for $1.95, but after shipping/handling they jumped to around $30...lol I think I'll check some local businesses first. Thanks for the input, going to try getting this card working again.

Re: The Hall of Shame - Badcaps Photo Montage
Hi all, my graphics card went out on one of my pc's recently. (I had a back up luckily)
Here is a shot of the card below:
I am wondering if I should bother to try and replace them. I guess first step is to find the right replacement. Also, I am wondering whether to replace just the blow caps, or some others too....Leave a comment:
