Word of caution, if the electrolytic capacitors are only swollen replacement would certainly work, but if they already leaked which was the case back then, possibly the mother board is shorted out.....<div><br></div><div>My two cents, regards.<br><br><br><a href="https://yho.com/footer0">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a><br><div>Mario Portillo, hbtusainc@yahoo.com</div><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0">On Saturday, October 26, 2019, 5:25 AM, Hathaway, Malcolm R <hathaway@cns.fas.harvard.edu> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="yiv1630585256"><style type="text/css">#yiv1630585256 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}</style><div dir="ltr">

Is the control computer a Dell? If so, it's a fairly common failure among certain vintages of Dell PCs for bad capacitors to show up, and "recapping" kits exist and are reasonably easy to install.</div>

However, if replacement seems easier or is preferred, then give that a go.</div>

<div>During a recent power outage, our MA6 EISS imaging computer failed. The system starts to boot and then hangs, I've checked the power supply and the hard drive seems ok, but I suspect the motherboard has failed(swollen caps). Has anyone had any experience
replacing this system? <br clear="none">
