Hi - my first post, hello all 🙂

I've been getting a Compaq Deskpro 386/25M machine running that hasn't been used since 1996. I've completely stripped, cleaned, tested and reassembled everything and it's all running nicely. However, there's this characteristic capacitor smell coming from the PSU. I've cleaned the PSU, so it's not residual dirt that is causing the smell.

If I had the schematic I could then order the required capacitors. I'm assuming they're all leaking to some extent, hence the smell.

Does anyone have a schematic? The PSU is made by Hitachi. I really wish I had taken lots of photos before reassembling the PSU after cleaning it 🫣

all electrolytic caps will have capacity/voltage printed on them

I'm not sure how this topic stub got created, the real topic is here Help - PSU schematic for Compaq Deskpro 386/25M
