Alas my A4000T has now developed the crackling sound issue I've read about the need to change capacitors, but I am not up for that task myself... is anyone doing these kinds of repairs (preferably in the US, but worldwide is ok)?

cool... is there any way to contact him by e-mail by chance ??

I'd be happy to pay for the caps as well as buy you a couple of brews

I'll PM you details

I saw that, but I am wondering how long the caps on those modules will last... and if I can save my hardware for the same (or lesser) amount I'd do that, just to keep more miggy hardware available

@da9000

Cool!! I am in the Bay area myself, between SF and San Jose

Btw, would you be able to do a replacement of Caps on other parts of my miggy too (just for safetys sake)

Cheers,

Kristian

ah ok... I'll open the puppy and take a look...
It's not that loaded though.... it has a P-IV card, the CSPPC card, an eFlash card, a SCSI cd-rom drive and an cf card as harddrive... all in all the psu ought to be able to handle that

I checked the audio module. While there isn't guhnk all over it, two of the capacitors had sort of a bit of "spider web" liks stuff by the side and the solder on one side of them is not shiny anymore... so I think the caps have only just started leaking (??)

@da9000:

Super got the e-mail, no worries about the delay

@Vlabguy1:

Wow, that looks worse than my board for sure... I think my board has only just begun to leak, in any case replacing the caps with better (safer) ones will make sense no matter what

agreed, I'm planning on replacing _all_ caps in my miggy, on the motherboard, daughterboards and expansionboards (if any caps are present).... better safe than sorry
