[MLUG - DISCUSSION] Mobo capacitor replacement in Columbia?

[EMAIL:PROTECTED (Rich Tollerton)]

Are there any places in town that can replace defective motherboard
capacitors at a reasonable fee? Given the recent uncovering of defective
electrolytic capacitors appearing in many, MANY quality motherboards, I
strongly suspect at least a few computers in my family may be affected,
and I'd like to refer them to somebody in town who can fix it in a day
or two instead of shipping it off somewhere online and have them less
one computer for a week or two.

BTW, if you've bought a computer in the 1998-2002 timeframe and you
haven't checked you CPU power caps... please do. I just checked mine -
an Abit BX6R2, a very quality mobo - and a couple of the caps had the
bulge on top which characterizes the gas buildup in these things. Very
Bad News.
