| 1133144 | 2010-08-30 11:22:00 | I don't believe it ... no electronics suppliers in Dunedin can supply 1500uf @ 16v or 3300uf @ 6.3v Have the on order via internet, but would be interested to know if anyone else has problems getting stuff like this from local suppliers ? |

| 1133145 | 2010-08-30 11:34:00 | How many do you want, if 1 or 2 or 3 then just take them out of old motherboards that are no longer being used. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 1133146 | 2010-08-30 11:36:00 | Did you try dick smith? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1133147 | 2010-08-30 12:01:00 | RS New Zealand or Jaycar. Dick Smiths are currently quitting many of their component lines. | PENTIUM (426) | ||
| 1133148 | 2010-08-30 20:56:00 | Nobody in Dunedin carries them as a stock line ..... easy enough to get them on-line but its just a tad inconvenient. zgwerty .... yep, and have to replace them again next week if they're on their way out. I don't have any old mobo's anyway. Just doing this for a friend. |

| 1133150 | 2010-08-30 23:55:00 | Dick Smith have pretty much nothing left except resistors - and any capacitors they do have will NOT be suitable. You MUST use Low-ESR capacitors for motherboards, otherwise the capacitors will overheat and die just as quick (or quicker) than the old ones. That means getting a decent brand, and choosing the right series. Jaycar does do 'Low-ESR' Samxon but they are not as good as those that RS-Components stock. Your best place to buy is RS-Components or Farnell. You also need to check the specification sheet for the original capacitors and make sure ESR is the same or lower on the new capacitors. They also need to handle the same or higher ripple current than the originals too. Getting this wrong will again reduce the lifespan of the new capacitors |

| 1133151 | 2010-08-31 00:36:00 | Think you got it bad? Try find me 200v 10uF non polar caps anywhere. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1133152 | 2010-08-31 00:47:00 | Think you got it bad? Try find me 200v 10uF non polar caps anywhere. Sounds like a challenge! What are they for? |

| 1133153 | 2010-08-31 01:06:00 | Think you got it bad? Try find me 200v 10uF non polar caps anywhere. spkr xover?? you may have to make some with 2x 'normal' caps "no electronics suppliers in Dunedin can supply 1500uf @ 16v or 3300uf @ 6.3v" Try RS or Farnel. It will co$$t . You can probhably get away with NON low esr nearest equivilents. Its not allways that critical. Yes, I have repaired old m/b's (non critical use PC's) with generic caps, they run just fine. boards with the BAD caps ran for years on dodgy caps that weren't true LowESR, so generic caps as replacement may be OK if you want to try them. Chances are there are far more caps on this board that are bad/dodgy(& look OK), so I wouldnt spend alot of time on it. |
