I have had my asus a7m-266-d mobo for a long time. i use it as my home server where i store all my stuff. well to make a long story short my wife called me one day and told me that there was a power outage and she couldnt get to any of the network drives. i tell her to log into the server via remote desktop and she cant get in. i tell her to reboot and still nothing. when i got hime i plugged up the server to my KVM sitch so i can see what is actually going on. i notice that i didnt get a post beep any more. so i take the mobo out and clean it off re seat the CPUs, cards, and power. i try it again and nothing. then when i closely inspected the mobo i noticed that 2 capacitors have brown crap on it. i thought uh-oh. im leaning towards that being my problem. does anyone know where i can send my mother board to so the capacitors can get looked at or replaced. i really dont want to lose this mobo. please help.

I found this site via a google - Badcaps.net
It looks like they will do what you need.

You could alternatively do it yourself, if you were feeling motivated.

Toms had an article about cap replacement not too long ago, but I can't immediately find said article.
