I have this computer that I inquired them from my employer when they did a computer upgrade
They have been sitting in my shed for a couple of years now
I just bought me a battery tester that I want to use this computer to do the data logging with
I recapped the power supply and all of the capacitor that were less than 100uf were at least 2X higher or more in ESR value than it should be
My question is should I recap the mother board
My success rate results doing this is 50 / 50
The question is should I do this or not
I can load the windows operating system disk and goes to the screen where if you had a hard drive in it would load the data
But I do not have a hard drive for it right now but I will be buying one next week
I do have a question about a hard drive for this computer could I use a solid state drive in it had windows xp on it
It only uses SATA drives it does not have any IDE connectors for this type of drives
I will be giving this mother board a very good cleaning
