I removed all other parts, but did not even think about the little battery there before I started the de-soldering. As I get to the 3rd to the last smaller crap, I noticed it is by the battery.
Should I have removed it? In not doing so will that damage something?
Can I test the caps with a digital volt meter that reads megohms to .001? Some are above that, but the new caps are in that range .006>.001 or does that special ESR meter do something else in testing them? The megohms on some of the swollen ones were above 3.000
In testing the volts on the old ones I found a few that with the leads on correct + and -, it reads a negative voltage. Is that another indication that one was on its way out?
Soltek 75DRV-5
GSC Caps
Enermax EG365P-VE
next step is to look at PSU while it is torn apart.
Thanks, hopefully another board saved.
