Right, so I have this GA-7VTXE+ that crapped out on me 5 years ago due to blown capacitors and I finally am feeling like replacing them lol. Anyway, I came across the website Badcaps.net and read the tutorials. Apparently two capacitors were faulty and blew, and another one spewed electrolyte from the bottom.
SO, I removed them with a soldering pen, and I'm trying to locate three 3300uF 6.3v capacitors. Anybody else try this? It's kind of exciting to think if I can get this board working again, I can have another decent computer around the house for basically the cost of a few capacitors, tools and a case. I already have my eye on this Rosewill R220 for $22!
This should be fun, but I just gotta locate those 3300uF 6.3v capacitors somewhere locally, or buy online.
