As far as I know, simply replacing : the 1000uF/10v caps with non-Jackcon ones is sufficient. As per reports, : I'll replace EC10 with a 1500uF/6.3v cap. I'll send out another note once : my changes are complete (reporting success/failure). : : Regarding the VP6 cap problem, some people have replaced their own caps : with caps of the same uF/v rating. Others, who have gone the RMA route : with the VP6, had their caps replaced with altogether different ones, : although I can't recall the uF/v rating on the new caps. :-- :-Dale Has anyone measured the voltage across those caps? If they are electrolytic it's generally a good idea to put a significantly higher voltage rating in verses the nominal voltage across the cap (they'll last a lot longer). I am somewhat worried that the original caps were 10v rated and you are replacing them with 6.3v rated. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
