I will call it good if it can pass my 72 hour burn in before I let it go back to the customer. I have managed to get the one with random reboots stabilized for several hours now by replacing the Choyo 16v 1000uf capacitors. The P4 3.2 GHz Northwood CPU and memory was salvaged from this computer. I replaced everything I could on this board with Sanyo caps.but the board still had the same symptoms I suspect the capacitors damaged other vital motherboard components. ![]() I also noticed that the Choyo 6.3v 2700uf capacitors around the CPU had a brownish stain on their purple sleeves (overheating?). I noticed on a visual inspection of the motherboard that three Choyo 16v 1000uf caps around the CPU were bulging and had started to leak. Now, I have had another system come back from the customer (it has been almost 2 years) and all it can do is spin its CPU fan for about a second then it does nothing. These boards happen to be small SFF motherboards used by FIC, DTK, AMS (possibly others.) I have sold several of these systems in the past and one had problems (random reboots and unexpected system lockups on boot or while in the XP OS) in as little as 6 months. You can add these Chyang Fun motherboards to the manufacturers who are using bad capacitors.
