I sorted out all my clothes, to wash them.

I went in, loaded the washer, then discovered there's no washing powder. Terrific.

I came back, and decided to tidy up a bit (even though it needs a lot).

I tidied up a bit (unnoticible however), and I came across a plastic bag, containing a row of capacitors.

Ah, these are the caps I bought to replace the dud ones on my mobo with.

I thought I had bought 63v capacitors, to replace 6.3v caps, which is not supposed to work very well, but I discovered these were actually 16v. D'oh. I should have just put these on in the first place.

I pulled the board out (that died again a short while after I replaced the capactitors with some 1500uFs last week), desoldered all the stuffed 1500uFs, and I just finished putting in the 2200uF 16v caps.

I left one of the 1500uFs, since it still looked ok, and I instead replaced one of the really stuffed 2200uFs I had to leave, because I didn't have a replacement 1500uF.

I plugged the board all back in again, put the ram and cpu back on it, and it powered up first go.

Now I'll do another burn in test.
