Yeah I have done several of them and there all out there working just fine. It's not really that hard if you have the right soldier gun and soldier.
Replaced 6 caps on the board and she starts up and runs great. Wouldn't run before.
I started exploring this when I ran into a business customer said he would pay me to at least try because for some reason he just had to have that pc and it has been running ever since. Just another thing in my repertoire.
Kodiak, it is a nice feeling when you can do a board level repair and be successful. A coworker gave me a Dell computer that he said was having problems and didn't want to mess with it. I took it and same as you found three bad caps on the board. Replaced those and all was well. Right after that my Sceptre Gamer monitor went on the fritz and I found a great source of information on Badcaps.net about a repair. Turns out it was bad caps on the power board. Again, a little bit of careful time to order and replace (about $7) and I saved myself the cost of a new monitor. The forums on badcaps.net are pretty good and cover a lot of devices for potential repairs. :thumbs:
