Re: Does this look like a cracked solder joint to you?

I'm back to report that the re-cap was successful!

I made a video of the process here:

Re: Sonic Core PCI Card Capacitor Replacement Service

Re: Does this look like a cracked solder joint to you?

It's going well!
I've replaced all the 47uF 16V and 47uF 6.3V caps on both Pulsar IIs.
I do have a hot air rework tool here also, but I'm finding it easier with the regular iron to be honest.
I'm now looking at the I/O board to see which caps I need to order to replace on that.
If you could take a ...

You underestimate how many times I’ve reseated the IO Plate to try and fix scope issues!

Re: Does this look like a cracked solder joint to you?

Good point. I looked online and could only find two photos of the ADAT I/O Plate so have added them to my linked document:

It looks like there were maybe two revisions of the ADAT IO plate, and I ...

Re: Does this look like a cracked solder joint to you?

OK, fun times. Now that I know what to look for I've noticed that I'm actually missing FOUR capacitors! :lol: 😂
I've updated the graphic here to highlight them:

Re: Does this look like a cracked solder joint to you?

O.M.G. How did I not spot that - thank you for pointing it out!

I couldn't find the cap anywhere, so I'll need to buy a spare.
Is anyone able to confirm if these would be a good replacement?

Does this look like a cracked solder joint to you?

I've been having bad stability issues with my card, no audio, loud crackles, etc.
I took a look at all the capacitors under a microscope to look for any damage and it all looked fine apart from this one hair-line shown here.

Re: A16 Ultra doesn't always get connection to XITE over Z-Link?

Just chiming in here to say I also have an A16U and also need to warm it up before I can use it, 5-15 minutes.
If I launch Scope too soon after cold I either get loud digital noise from the A16U, or lots of rapid crackles. If I let it warm up it works fine all day.

Re: Giada causes BSOD in Scope.sys

Interesting development:

Newly built PC and installed a different application, "Ricoh Theta", https://support.theta360.com/en/download/pcmac/, which causes the same ScopePci.sys BSOD when it tries to set up a connection to ASIO.

Love reading this, thanks.
I've just this afternoon built my Asus Prime B460 plus Win10 system and am typing from it now.
Next I'm now going to physically install my Scope cards so watch this space.

Re: Asus PRIME B460 Plus & Windows 11 Possible solution

Thanks, I've just this weekend ordered a new system based on the ASUS Prime B460 PLUS.
We reached the same conclusion in this thread as you did:

It's nice to have it confirmed from two sources though!
