| 1150785 | 2010-11-25 02:48:00 | Well fullas... according to the bag they in, they are EEUFC0J332 - which from googling are made by Panasonic. ae.rsdelivers.com All this info would have been a lot better when I first asked. But oh well, lady luck shines on me this time :D Also, I ran Memtest for about 3 hours, I think I got the motherboard warm enough. Then let it cool down for 3 hours, and just rebooted it |

| 1150786 | 2010-11-25 03:14:00 | So it's relatively easy to replace the caps on things like a mobo then? I'm seeing more and more info about it ...? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

But oh well, lady luck shines on me this time :D Panasonic FC should be pretty good. Next time have a look at the FM series though. They are often have better ripple ratings and are for some reason cheaper. If I had seen your thread when it was first posted I definitely would have said then what I said now. At least you were lucky and got some good ones! |

It's not as easy as a single layer board, but if you have the right tools and do it correctly then it's not incredibly hard either. Have a look at that tutorial I posted earlier to get an idea for what you need and what you have to do. If you have any questions, I recommend sign up to Badcaps.net and post there. |

| 1150789 | 2010-11-25 04:08:00 | Nearest is: CAPACITOR ELECTROLYTIC 4700UF 10V 105C L/ESR, which will probably be ok. This one needs a higher voltage (10V) in order to get the even higher capacitance (4700uF), so at the lower supply voltage of 6.3v it should end up with a lower capacitance, approaching the 3300 that you want. Bollocks!! Bollocks, and thrice times Bollocks. Capacitance is not voltage dependent, and the cap will be 4700µF (± the usual tolerance at any voltage above that required to keep it formed i.e. 1-2 volts), right through to serious overvoltage, at which point it will turn into a low value resistor, then shortly aftrerwards, a small explosive device. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1150794 | 2010-11-25 06:05:00 | I have this hilarious image in my mind of a partridge in a pear tree with lower terminals - as I imagine it would be drawn in "Serviceman's Log" from Silicon Chip. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
