I have done a few myself, but this one is under warranty. I actually have a socket A on the bench for repair ( 3 bad caps ) but wonder if it is worth it, NOT.
mine is a 820uF 6.3v. I wonder if a 1000uF 6.3v would be better or maybe one same uF and higher V. in the mail today. I remember my friend had some bad caps ( MB slips my mind) and they (factory) did replace them with higher capacity. ) fp At 07:07 AM 10/30/2007, Rick Glazier Poked the stick with: >FWIW: Me too...
