Re: PCWorks: E-machine computers T2642 dead

Hi Larry and all,

Bulging or domed capacitors is always a fatal condition. The
machines may
work for a while, even a long while, but eventually its
lights out for
that computer. Very often such capacitors can be replaced on
the
motherboard. This was a big problem for IBM and HP for a few
years. They
cheaped out on the capacitors or possibly placed them too
close to the
processor. HP settled a class action, and IBM sold their PC
division.
I've seen bad caps on most brands of computers except for
Dells.

I now have 3 of this model with same symptom.
dead but power supply is ok.
it seems to be the mother board, and about 5 caps near the
CPU 
have the tops bulged.
this must be a common problem.
does anyone know what goes bad on this board?
