[asterisk-users] Reg errors? Other anomalies? Check those capacitors!

2006-11-08 Thread Ronald Lewis
Three months ago, I was experiencing all sorts of issues with my Asterisk box maintaining a connection to multiple trunks, etc. I also experienced various timing issues as well. In addition, Asterisk would sometimes take almost a minute to fully load and register its SIP and IAX trunks.
Puzzled, I recompiled several times. No result. I checked my hardware. Didn't find anything. However, I did overlook one thing:* The motherboard's capacitor!Yep, you guessed it! It was bad. Now, I do not have any problems (I didn't bother replacing the motherboard, ended up using a spare PC).

The motherboard's capacitor? What is that? Since there are probably a
hundred or more caps on the MB, how did you determine that? Was it burned?
Other than that, without making either capacitance or noise tests I can't
imagine how you would make that assumption.
