Flux capacitors, not fluxing(where can I get new)

[geoschmo]

I wasn't saying that a bad cap would cause other components to go bad. I wasn't aware that there was an actual known problem with bad caps on PC motherboards. I'm still a little skeptical on that despite all the flashy websites. But if people have had success replacing them who am I to argue? Admitedly I have no experience with component level repair on computer motherboards as it was never considered cost efficent at any of the places I worked, even back when motherboards were expensive. I am quite familier with blown capacitors from my olden days working on tv's and radios. But there when a cap was blown, it wasn't because the cap went bad, it was because something else went bad and caused the cap to blow.

Those can caps are quite easy to blow actually. You will find that out if you try to replace them and put them in backwards.
