subject: Procedure To Replace Motherboard Capacitors [print this page] If there is not sufficient power available in the motherboard and being synchronized by these capacitors, then the computer is going to experience lots of incongruities like rebooting haphazardly or locking up issues of the computer. If the capacitor has already given out on the motherboard or if there is an irregular supply of electricity flowing through the computer, you can experience other hardware components that are gradually giving out and becoming ruined. Then, you can acquire the know-how of other hardware components distribution and becoming ruined. The major and most scary feature of replacing capacitors is going to actually determine that you have the right type of capacitor for a computer.
There are few things you"ll need to do. The things are like soldering iron, lead free solder and capacitor. The bad capacitors are the one that often discharges.
1. You are required to locate the places on the motherboard where there are in need of replacing the capacitors.
2. Capacitors should have information on them that is going to categorize their definite properties. You are required to get hold of the same capacitor types from your local electronic store. If you found that the capacitors are not the identical in all characteristics, you may run into many power problems in the future and have the risk of ruining the motherboard everlastingly.
3. Just turn on the soldering iron for preparation. This will normally take about 2 to 5 minutes based on the variety of soldering iron.
4. Now, all you require is to obtain the soldering iron gently and touch them to the base of the motherboard where the "solder points" are usually resides for the bad capacitor. You should pull up on the bad capacitor to separate it from the board whereas the solder points are supposed to have been excited by the soldering iron.
5. You are needed to substitute the bad capacitor with a good one. At first, you should try to confirm that you make use of some "lead free solder" on the soldering iron. You need to establish the good capacitor smoothly into the solder points and replace gently the "melted lead-free solder off the soldering iron to the solder points in order to seize the wires of the capacitors in place like the earlier capacitor.
6. Now, you are required to replicate Steps 3 and 4 in anticipation of replacing the bad capacitors. On one occasion that is finished, you should try to swap the motherboard into the computer and then examine it by itself. If the computer motherboard executes properly without further malfunction, you can place all interior apparatus into the computer and then supervise the computer physically for any other abnormality or irregularities.
If you are not confident enough to handle the entire procedure as explained above, then better visit some quality computer repairs and maintenance service provider.
