I have that capacitor.

You should contact the OP directly. There's a small possibility that 1) he's not monitoring this group after 20 years and 2) he may not have waited 20 years to scrap that antique.

I remember Andy Cuffe posting here, I can't remember when he last psoted.
 
But the 21 year old reply is lacking in other ways.
 
Andy was hoping for a decoder ring to figure out what the capacitor was.
He didn't say he needed one.
 
It's puzzling enough why people reply to old posts, but too many of the
late replies don't even make sense.

With any OS XP or later you have to stick with the same model board, and that is even more true if it has an OEM version of Windows.
 
I quick Google finds replacements used of refurb of course from abut $ 30 to 60.
 
yeah good old 98 you could migrate, I know how. even the local PC store didn't know how, they are out of business. They were trying to sell a PC that I figure they just threw a loaded HD in, can't do that. Need to go to safe mode and start deleting all the system devices, then on reboot windows gets the drivers for the chipset out of its cabs. They didn't do that and the thing popped up with OE and all kinds of blue screens. Needless to say I didn't buy it, I doubt they would have taken ten bucks for it back then.
 
To migrate XP or later you have to have a disk, and if you want to keep all your shit, let the disk install, but into a directory you make, like Windows2 or whatever. Then copy \system, \system32 and all that into the new OS' directory and when it asks to replace existing files you go "No to all".
 
But with the same model board you don't have to do any of that - usually. Might have to anyway with certain OSes, I haven't done this to all of them as of yet.
 
Maybe it'll work if you don't find a heat sink problem. And if you do it is more likely in the chip, not the goop. It becomes a cement that is quite thermally conductive and does not have a tendency to crack until you break it off. If it is in the chip you might get away with putting a fan right on it.

With Windows now one might as well just chunk the whole thing, install
the programs and hope you can load in the data files for the programs
off the old hard dirve , or saved backups.

How about a card that goes in an available slot?

I made that suggestion to the owner of the MB. She declined because
she thought the MB was no longer reliable.

The system had been running linux for the past several years.

If she's willing to spend the money on a reliable system then that is a
reasonable position.

> So bro can you let us know how did u fixed the unit, I have the same issue on the same module. Does 2.2PF 2kv SMD CAP really exist? I can only find the 50v type.
 
I think the OP said he used a leaded cap for the replacement.
I don't know where the 2.2pF value came from but that seems too small to do anything useful in that circuit.
 
I'd put in a 1000 pf 1000V leaded cap and call it a day.

Depends on where it is in the circuit, a whole nF ? That is alot at some frequencies.
