have cap kit, now what?
« on: August 13, 2009, 06:12:58 pm »
i ordered the cap kit from Mouser via the stickied thread and i need to know if i just look at the board and for maching caps then replace them. Or if theres a map somewhere so i dont replace something that i wasnt supposed to. That websight is great btw super fast shipping; the only thing i dont like is that they charge your visa twice then refund your money a few days after you get your order. 

I got two kits, k4600 and k7000 and it was 15.00 shipped through ups ground

I never had Mouser charge me twice, that's odd.

The K4600 one is easy; just start replacing them.  It should be a complete list with the exception of the interface card.  A couple of the voltage values are different (up) but it's pretty much a straight swapout.

I'm assuming the second monitor listed was intended to say K7000 ?

Note: Look at the old caps as you remove them so you absolutely positively know which way to orientate them. (negative leg / positive leg) The chassis should be marked, but honestly I don't personally look at those much, I refer to the cap that comes out. Remove and install one cap at a time.

Generally a black stripe or arrow or something similar on the side of the cap is the negative lead.
