We have 700+ GX270s that have had to have (1) video cards (due to
on-card fans failing) and (2) power supplies ALL be replaced by Dell
over the past 5 years (written to you from one of those GX270s).
Now the capacitors are starting to fail...

Anybody out there had success replacing a popped capacitor to fix a MB? Tried
it once, didn't work...

I second that diagnosis
One of our warehouse techs is good with a soldering iron and he's had
some success with PC motherboards and Cisco switches.
Unfortunately, a bad capacitor is sometimes one symptom of a bigger
problem, and sometimes a bad capacitor can have a ripple effect to the
other components on the board.
I
of them.

Could it be the exploding capacity issue again? Although I would have
thought it would have applied to PCs older than a couple of years - more
around the 3-4 year age (if not older?) The ones I have seem generally
fail to power up at all.
Cheers,
Matt

I have had several of the GX260's lose the power supply after displaying

I second that diagnosis. Exact symptoms on the GX280 I had...

More likely its a crappy fan motor with a shaft buzzing inside its
bushings.

Pretty sure that specific capacitor issue was contained to just the
270's.
