I will get round to posting before and after pics of my boards, the capacitors I used are 4,700uF 10v from the ZA series available from Maplin Electronics in the uk. I bought 100 of them but still have more boards to do... the price in the catalogue is about £0.62 but the online price was closer to ...

Hi, I had the same problem running a USB alcatel dsl modem under 2000. I tried a powered hub as well to try to resolve the problem.... I tried running Win 98 and it behaved fine, however you like me probably don't want to stoop that low. I must admit that I kind of gave up, installed a NIC and bough...

My BP6 is done now, a few changes, all of the 1000 and 1500uF capacitors have been replaced with 4,700uF 10v capacitors also EC10. The 100uF capacitors have all been replaced with new 100uF and the one 10uF has been replaced by a tantalum capacitor. While I was at it I have altered the ventilation o...

I think you should just be able to run a link wire across under the board from +12v on the powersupply connector to the positive pin of the fan header.... check continuity from a working fan header across and it will point you in the right direction. Will confirm it in a few days while I am doing th...

I will try to take some pics of the duff capacitors, looking again I see two of them in the BP6 associated with the front CPU are actually growing white fur on top. Since I am off work today while my car is being serviced I am sorely tempted to fix it with whatever capcitors I can find around the ho...

Big electrolytics dying smell disturbingly like babies nappies/diapers! On the top of the capacitors you will see some stamped in marking in a Y shape or similar, these are engineered to rupture before dangerous pressure build up takes place. I have been hit by the flying can of a suddenly failed el...

Hi, my BP6 and VP6 both are dying lately too! In my case I can see the capacitors are in trouble... much the same symptoms in as far as not booting etc. The VP6 is running Ok right now, I took the fsb down as low as it would go and it runs, at rated fsb it will not even POST correctly.... roll on pa...

Thanks for the compliment DRD... The AOL webspace is gradually screwing up, they probably noticed that I left them a year ago! The coolers took about an hour to make, they are made from 42mm copper plumbing pipe with square plates either end 55mm by 55mm. The cpu facing plate is copper but the pipe ...

Mine seems very dull by comparison..... I definitely need to get some of my old parts built into pcs.... BP6, VP6 and an Athlon, all hanging from a hub via linksys cheapo nics... DSL router/dhcp server is a Dell Optiplex Pentium 233 with no keyboard, mouse or monitor driving an Alcatel USB DSL modem...
