I have a mobo here that has bad caps. Of the 25 or so large ones
ten are domed or bulging. The PC spontaneously re-boots after 30
seconds or so. (Tried with three different PSUs).

I haven't attempted doing anything like replacing caps on a mobo
before, I may be capable of it but would hate to risk the board.
I'm in South Auckland, does anyone know of an outfit or person who
could provide this service and any idea what it would cost? Or
should I just attempt it myself? (And where would be the best
place for a novice to get the caps at the right price?)

The boards have multiple layer traces, working on one of these would
be quite a specialised task. I doubt any home hobbyist would have
the gear to do it.

I realise it isn't just like soldering two wires together. I have a
fine-tipped, low-wattage soldering iron and a mate who has a
solder-sucker that I can borrow (He has quite a well equiped
soldering-station actually, he used to design and build his own
PCBs, I might have to attempt it at his place or get him to do it).
I'm still waiting to hear back from 'The Flash' on his offer of
looking at it for me.

I'd take note of what Alan said in his post about repairing these
things. If you damage the internal traces there's no way of repairing
them, so you'd want to be pretty sure what you're doing.

Yep. Until I saw the post further down about Abit fixing the boards I
thought I had nothing to lose. I can get a new FC2-PGA board for $125. VIA
chipset and no RAID though. :-(

Utter rubbish.

Don't take the slightest notice of Mainlander he doesn't know what he's
talking about.

1. You need to test the ESR of the mobo caps.
2. If bulging replace 'em regardless.
3. faulty mobo caps are a global phenominon.
4. Unsolder them and replace them, be sure to use 105 degree caps.

Every mobo I have ever installed has had at least 1 out-of-spec electrolytic
capacitor onboard. I never install a new mobo without 1st checking them.

Electronics World published an article about this topic some time back.

I think they had some for around $15.00.

Bugger. I should have checked their p&a before I bought one from Rockby.

It's a pity their link to the tech spec is to a 40 char x 2 line lc display.

But the cheap stuff is solid core cable. If attached to a PC (or other
vibrater), the vibration causes daggers dig a hole in the conductor and it
stop working...

solid core should be attached to WALLS not PC.s

Jaycar have some amplifier IC's, STK086 70W into 8 ohm. I can't seem to find a
datasheet for these. If anyone has seen one, can they please point me to where
I can find it.

thanks.
