| 356706 | 2005-05-20 01:47:00 | Personally I'd replace the board. One dodgy component = more dodgy components.... | pctek (84) | ||
| 356707 | 2005-05-20 03:43:00 | Except that this is a known problem with electrolytic capacitors. I'd suspect that most MB faults are not due to components; rather problems with the inter-layer connections. | Graham L (2) | ||
