Hardware

Play the trumpets.  It was streaming a movie on netflix, movie finished, no internet to be seen.  Cable modem was working, but oh my, the m0n0wall box was just, dead, no response to ping, not even a output from the VGA port.

Pop open the hood, and a capacitor next to the CPU crowned.
 

While this isn't the regular question for hardware, but where can I get capacitors?  Radioshack seems useless these days.

You can find composants at www.farnell.com (international) www.distrelec.com (Swiss, some other countries), etc...

Where are you from ?

Perheaps you can have a sample from a capacitor manufacturer (never tried with caps, but ok with some ICs makers)

If you have many caps for the CPU VRM, try to change all. Don't forget to buy low ESR caps, it is mandatory for DC/DC converter.

Good playing with iron soldering 

As you mention Radioshack I assume you are in the USA in which case try http://www.mouser.com

How to Fix Your Motherboard for $15 : When a Motherboard Fails

Yes, I am in the USA.  In Florida..

I know how to solder, I solder stuff all the time, wonderful things

Anyways, I'll give mouser a shot..  Hate running on the backup router (some circuit board from a cheap brand router, it's missing the bcase).

Try Digikey as well.  They're often cheaper than Farnell (Newark) and stock more varieties too.
You'll be looking at the Rubicon MBZ series for motherboard capacitor replacements.

Took me long enough..  Been running on some Belkin crap for a while now.  Finally found some caps for it..

6.3v 1500uF is what blew..  I replaced all of those caps with 6.3v 2200uF caps, to help filter out the PSU even more..

Finally, my m0n0wall is back!

Unbelievable..  It just died AGAIN..

Sick of this crap..  This motherboard is kicking my ass now.

EDIT:  Yea, the motherboard is toast.  I soldered up a VGA port and saw this..

Frozen at that, not going any further..  I reset and try again.

Not sure what that error was trying to say, but the motherboard crashed before it could complete and even corrupted the characters at the end..  Tried known good memory, same thing..  Looks like theres more damage than just caps..

It is possible to have a pict of remplacement caps ?

Do you have selected very low ESR caps for switching power supplies ?
