I also don't have experience with this stuff.Tijnema may know more because he has actual experience with it.They dont really teach how to tinker with motherboards in courses :) But if you have access to a voltmeter ,you could measure the voltage across the terminals of the capacitor.Its getting hot

/proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty?

Hi all, In the thread about the missing headers i've found out that my /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty, while there should be information about the temp of my CPU... I've ACPI enabled in my BIOS, and i've compiled all ACPI stuff in my kernel, but it still remains empty.. What can I do to solve th

Unless you know the circuit type (LC, RC, ...), its expected input and output, you are risking havoc by changing the value of *any* of the components in the circuit. IIRC, by changing the the capacitor to a higher voltage rating, you have altered (possibly) at least two things (assumin
