- thanks for the input. i inspected capacitor, nothing bulging out. i
dont have an esr meter, only ohmeter but it would be difficult to test
capacitor in- circuit...

More to the point, it would be a complete waste of time. An ohmeter will
tell you nothing worth knowing about the caps, other than whether they're
shorted.

and i think desoldering a suspected caps in
the mainboard would be a difficult tastk.


On some motherboards, it is a real challenge cleaning out the plated
through-holes on the ground side to accept the new caps. Others aren't so
bad.
