I also plan to get rid of all Choyo capacitors, even small ones. Reason for this: it fried a PS/2 keyboard, so I need to replace also the smaller caps. Just for my safety.

I tested the CPU on a healthy ECS K7VZA and it is good. So BOARD is problem. I will repair it someday. Also tested memory on another board and it works. So Motherboard is culprit

what should I do with that ASUS K8V-VM? What do you think about it? But what about that ECS K7VZA and ASUS A7V880?

that socket 754 Sempron 2600+ will be the component of my future ASUS K8V-VM budget 2006-2007 build. That M2N-E will be a historical 2006-2007 build on AM2 platform in future. ECS K7VZA i bought it to temporary replace my dead GIGABYTE GA-7DXE until I recap it. Any opinions about ASUS A7V880 and …

I done today a partial recap. Replaced only the capacitors around the CPU Socket and from the MOSFET zone. It still does the tick-tock cycle sometimes, but not frequently. Results improved somehow. But STILL NOT POST. I gonna replace also the AGP and DIMM caps.

After finishing exams, and at 1 month after the last post, i plan to recap this. I got a solder wick, soldering iron and soldering paste. Can I use soldering paste for soldering capacitors or not?
