Hello Everyone,
I wasn't sure where to put this thread because my Adaptec AHA-2940UW doesn't exactly have bad caps and isn't faulty either.
Instead I have a physically damaged cap.... The rest of the card looks OK I guess. Maybe with a few scratches here and there....
I let one of my friends borrow my Adaptec AHA-2940UW SCSI card so that they could use thier SCSI CD burner.
The cap in question is a Marcon brand cap. The markings on the cap read:
+85c
9741
7KM
On the other side reads:
Marcon (In an oval)
25V 10uf
CE-SS
The cap is bent 45 degrees with the board and I can see something like a metal bulge some out from the visible leg that is bent 45 degrees.
There's also another Elna cap on the board with a few dents on top of it.... I don't know if that one should be replaced too?? The ELNA cap on the other hand is 22uf 25V and also rated at 85c.
I haven't started up this SCSI card either because I fear that this damaged cap may cause and explosion or something similar or even damage my PC.
I'm not sure why.... but I can never get my SCSI Yamaha CRW4416S SCSI CD burner to work.... I haven't got any other SCSI devices apart from that Yamaha drive. I have heard that I need something called a SCSI terminator to make it work??
There are also a bunch of jumper pins behind the CD burner too. But I don't know how to configure it. The configuration pins have these labels:
* Terminator
* Block Size
* Parity
* ID Select (1,2,4)
I really want to use this CD burner because it looks and feels very high quality and it even has a cooling fan inbuilt to it.
Grrrr.... Why does everything that I lend out get broken these days??
Thanks.
