This system was purchased in Aug. of 09, just months before MPC folded. MB is built by ECS, Intel Q35T chipset. Board is populated with a lot of OST caps, two of which are bulging, (See attached photos) both are 6.3v 1800uF
History: The PC one day would not boot. First thing I did was check the PSU which was OK. Bought another board and got the system back up and running.
Gonna check with the boss to see if he wants to try and have it repaired. If not I'm going to ask if I can have it. My question is about which caps to update? I seem to remember reading so time ago that only certain caps need to be replaced, and that it revolved around the size (voltage and capacitance). Any help provided would be much appreciated.
