Re: Capacitor TK ATWY Replacement for ECS RS780M-M3 Motherboard

Thank you I can certainly try the voltage also to see what that shows.

Sorry this is all a new area to me...

Re: Capacitor TK ATWY Replacement for ECS RS780M-M3 Motherboard

ok thanks. More to ponder, more great information.

I will look at these non polymer caps also ... so many decisions

Thanks everyone.

I'll pick from one of these

Re: Capacitor TK ATWY Replacement for ECS RS780M-M3 Motherboard

oh thanks. Is there some formula here or do I just target the impedance and similar ESR and 6.4v and see what that leads to for capacitance?

Is that something sold on this site or are there recommended places for such caps ?

Hi all.

Just joined and looking for some capacitor assistance. I am new at this so please bear with me ....

I have an ECS RS780M-M3 motherboard and the brown ATWY caps are bulging and the board has become unstable. Caps say 6.3v and 1000uF. But I have some confusion Picture attached.

This link [URL="http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/TK%20%5BToshin%20Kogyo%5D/TK%20%5bradial%5d%20ATWY%20series.pdf"]ATWY Reference[/URL] says the size is 10x16mm. Measuring them myself I get 8x12mm (Still on the board) which implies 3mm between the legs.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Like everyone else .. new! I am starting out to try and repair motherboards with bad caps. I am based on Buffalo and a complete novice at this. While I dabble in computers the whole soldering thing I am new at and looks like I have a lot to learn.

Wanted to give a shout out to all the people here who help others. Still some greatness in the world.
