I sent a KA7 (out of warranty, BTW) back to Abit for cap replacement a
couple of years ago. They fixed it gratis, BUT...I noticed the the ONE cap
they didn't replace has leaked all over my board...EC33. (You get what you
pay for.) So I remove the cap, clean things up and replace the cap with a
Nichicon. The one detail I overlooked was polarity. So my question is this:
on the circuit board, directly under the cap, there is a circle printed in
ink. One-half of the circle is filled out in white ink. Is that the pos or
neg side? Or does polarity even matter here? Thanks a lot!
