Re: Replacing bad caps

My Epox 8RDA+ just died presumably due to the bad caps (they are bulging,
leaking). After months of taking 2 or 3 tries to boot (good a "no video
signal" error message and never saw a boot screen), it finally would not
boot at all. I put in a spare 8KHA+ and am up and running again. Wondering
if anyone has successfully replaced the bad caps and got a dead mobo working
again? I don't really need it except as a spare.



Easy to do. Better off ripping the cans off and soldering onto the legs
that are left than trying to desolder on a multilayer PCB.
