Bulged capacitors, which one of these should I use to replace them?

if it works you got 1 happy buddy and if it dont he wont be angry like a paying customer would be.

 

got it....dont forget to back up the POS just in case that mobo dont come back to life.

 

ESR does matter, make sure you get low-ESR caps and not "general purpose" caps!

 

Thanks for the input. Do they specify "low ESR" or should I look for a specific value? i already ordered the caps but any info is useful for future endeavors.

 

They specify "low ESR" in the specs, but is not written on the cap! Continuing to use a system with a bad cap, likely will cause MOSFET failure!

 

Thanks, I'll take note next time to check the specs and/or ask the store for low ESR polymer caps

 

lets us know if the repairs work out...good luck.

 

Sure. He's going on vacation next Thursday and I'll take the computer home then
