Ok, I read that. I will pull the board out again and examine it to

whose capacitors they used and look for anything I can see with my
limited eyesight.
if you want to save your eyes, check
http://www.badcap.net about board repair.
they have a repair service and kits for various boards. using students as
they are, repair cost is low and may well be worth it.
And they don't have to have
external signs to be bad, they can look ok and just be sitting there
doing nothing! Computer boards are a hard thing to troubleshoot if not
impossible.
i will not argue that point. i started repairing cards in s100 days. when
'ibm clone' can out, i continued until it go too cheap to by a new card.
i still do mainboard, but that has almost gotten to be a thing of past.
even mainboards are dropping in price to where cpu and memory are main
expense.
asian's sure know how to make it hard this days to make a living. i am not
against union labor in manufacturing, but they have drained this country
down to where revelations is going to 'right on'.
