| 1272939 | 2012-05-19 07:16:00 | How do you fix a bad capacitor Replace it with one of similar type, size, voltage, temperature and ripple current rating. You will need solder sucker, average to good hand skills, good lighting, temperature controlled soldering iron. Yeah but to be honest it's not usually worth the effort, capacitors are cheap but it's a fiddly time consuming job and with older hardware is not guaranteed to be the only problem. Add to that they can sometimes have no visible sign that they've failed and you can't be sure which to replace (safest to do them all unless they are obviously of a good brand and type). Only worth considering if it's hardware you can't replace otherwise or you just want to give it a go when there's not much to lose. I have an old compaq P4 in the garage with leaking capacitors, I'm not even going to try turning it on. I just stole the CPU and cooler and the CMOS battery to resurrect another P4 and I'm tossing the rest. |
