Motherboard Capacitor Repair Information Page
Note: Minimum number of units to be repaired is 10 motherboards.

Usually if a Motherboard starts to become unstable
or exhibits the falling problems:

Failure to boot .
Must attempt booting several times before machine will start.
Instability, especially when graphics are complex.
Bad odor comes from the computer (this is caused by capacitors shorting out and leaking), now the system is unstable or doesn't work anymore.
Bios health alarm (hi-low siren) at boot but PC health screen shows no reason for the alarm.
Fans spin up, power indicator lights up and nothing else happens.
Just doesn't work like it use to anymore.

More than likely it needs a new set of capacitors. This will bring the motherboard back to life with "Better than New" performance.

There are three ways capacitors can fail:

They can leak, leaving either brown residue around itself or blackish oozing stuff out of the bottom, as shown in Fig.1
A bulge in the top of the capacitor may be visible if the capacitor has failed as shown in Fig. 2
The most common failure is they just go bad without showing any outside damage. Usually caused by the board being more than four years old or heavily used. For more info about capacitors Click here.
