CGetchCCU Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) I've heard that you can replace the 5 1500 uf caps on a 1.0 and 1.1 with 3 3300 uf caps anywhere. I have been trying to fix a 3 boot fragging 1.1 with bad caps. I replaced it with the three capacitors and it still frags. When trying a modchip sometimes it fragged and sometimes it became a coma console (green light no video). Do you think this fragging is caused by the capacitors being the three 3300 uf caps? Does it still need to be the 5 1500 uf caps? Edited June 8, 2022 by CGetchCCU Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 I've wondered about this sort of thing myself particularly as the MBs that use just three caps still have the positions for the 'missing' two 1500uf marked and apparently available.

CGetchCCU Posted June 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 Well it certainly booted and became coma with a modchip. I bought 5 1500 uf Caps and will try that before I give up on the 1.1. Will keep you all posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGetchCCU Posted June 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Update: according to a well known modder you can use the 3 3300 uf caps. I tried both and still had fragging. Guess it's another issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppermine Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 I have replaced the three cap configuration with the five cap configuration myself and it worked fine.
