My Epox 8RDA+ just died presumably due to the bad caps (they are bulging,Wondering
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.
if anyone has successfully replaced the bad caps and got a dead moboworking
again? I don't really need it except as a spare.
I tried it once.
I took good caps off of some scrap boards I had and replaced all the leaky
caps on a board I was
trying to repair. However, it was still flakey...so I assume there were a
few bad caps that just had not started to
leak yet...so don't waste your time.
To go out and buy news caps is moderatly expensive...
an entire new mobo's don't usually cost that much anyway.
To send the board out to have some shop repair it
would almost certainly exceed the price of a new board/
.
