Nice! > The capacitance of the two caps I removed is about 155uF, so well within > the specs. They probably dried out and the ESR rose.

Is 7000 hours really quite long? A device like the Soekris is supposed to run 24x7 - and at 24 hours a day 7000 hours are less than 10 months. I would expect a working life of at least 5 years or 45000 hours for any component used in a computer. hp -- _ | Peter J.
