Have a 'bad Apple' on your computer desk? Badcaps.net can fix that too!! I've had a steady stream of emails asking if I can recap Mac's, Yes I can!! Unlike most PC shops, that won't touch a Mac, I'll be more than happy to replace the defective caps on your ailing Mac mainboard!
Just a little FYI, I've been VERY backed up lately, repairs are flowing in faster than I can crank them out, and I've been working 12 hour days trying to keep up!! If email responses are a little slow, I do apologize!! If I'm sitting at the desk typing emails, that means the repairs aren't getting done! Contrary to popular belief, I don't have some "magic machine" I put your mainboard in, and it comes out repaired at the other end. Each board that's sent to me is reworked by hand, by me personally. Badcaps.net has always prided itself on fast turnaround time, and I'll always try to maintain that!! Express Repair Service turnaround time will still remain the same no matter what!!
Low on cash?
Badcaps.net is your PC repair solution!! This economy has everyone in a pinch and worried about their financial future! I understand that, and can help! I know that every dollar counts these days, and most just can't afford to shell out hundreds for a new computer right now. Replacing the bad capacitors on your mainboard is the cheapest and most reliable way to get several years more service out of your system!
We can repair your PC mainboard for a small fraction of what replacement would cost! The average repair cost is $70.00, including return shipping. Replacement with a new PC will be 5 times that easily by the time you figure in all the hidden costs, and that's if you replace with an inexpensive system! If you build your own systems, you already know the costs involved, and cringe at the thought of trashing a mainboard for something as trivial as bad capacitors.

Avoiding Windows Vista?
From so many users, ranging from large corporate networks all the way to the home user, the number one reason people give for wanting to repair their hardware is they want to avoid a new system and the disaster known as Windows Vista!
On a humorous note regarding Vista, I spoke to an IT guy who manages a small business network for an insurance company (maintains a 100 terminal network), and had a bunch of failing Dell SX280's, which I repaired. One branch had the brilliant idea to "upgrade" to Vista systems, and his job was to make them all play nice with each other. This gentleman was probably the most professional, polite, and courteous clients I've ever spoken with on the phone, until we got onto the subject of Vista....then the four-letter words started flowing freely... In the end, he wiped all the Vista machines, and upgraded them back to XP Pro.

Badcaps.net is pleased to announce that we are now able to accept repairs from across the ponds!! The US Postal Service has simplified some things, making international shipments a lot easier to deal with!! For all you in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and many other places around the world, we can now service your boards!! While I'll tend to shy away from repairs from unstable regions for shipping reasons (Africa, Middle East, some places in South America, and so on), all of you in Europe and Australia can now get repairs completed from Badcaps.net!

Examples of bad capacitors:

Badcaps.net was established in late 2002 to counter the bad electrolytic capacitor issue that has been plaguing computer hardware since around the turn of the century. More than likely, if you're even reading this, you know what this site is about... Incase you don't, I'll enlighten you. This site was created to counter the bad capacitor problem that has been plaguing computer motherboards since about 1999 to the present day. It now being 2007, I am STILL seeing later model boards with this problem. The tale behind why the capacitor problem exists in the first place is because of a large-scale industrial espionage foul-up. Some component manufacturers decided to steal an electrolyte formula from another competitor. Little be known to them, the stolen formula was incomplete and flawed. They didn't discover this until it was too late and they had manufactured and distributed literally MILLIONS of these flawed capacitors. However, it's been going on way too long to simply blame on an industrial espionage boo-boo in my humble opinion, as this problem is still extremely common, and hasn't slowed down. Personally, I think it all boils down to shoddy components that are manufactured by shoddy component makers.
Most all the information about this problem is scattered in bloated forums, newsgroups, and unreliable (here today, gone tomorrow) websites. That in itself is enough to make you throw your board in the trash! I've gathered a lot of information, along with my own knowledge and experience, and created a central location to post it. Hopefully this will bring your search to an end!
