Hiya, decided to take the plunge and attempt to repair my tempremental Lappy.
After going round in circles with a bizarre power up issue [takes 100's of button presses to fire up] and being told numerous answers that all failed, i think i have narrowed the problem down to the 2 sanyo caps next to the pcie wifi slot.
Warming them a little with hot air allows the machine to boot normaly, cooling them causes the fault to manifest again. I guess they must have been cooked by the wifi card? As long as the laptop is warm it behaves impeccably and passes every test possible. But from cold it just flashes the battery light briefly.
I was under the impression that OSCON caps were more reliable than regular electrolitics?
So to get the point, the caps in question are 560UF and 390UF Sanyo Purples. I cant seem to find them online to order so am asking what you guys suggest i replace them with?
sorry about the blurry camera phone image btw
Cheers, kZ
