Pulsar wont wok

[astroman]

I'd stay away from recap, but just replace the fallen off capacitor at the blue mark.

My cards works fine, but i want to use them many more years
Capasitators on this boards are very old, and sooner or later they will starting to fail.

I can upload a video of how i recap the board next week

Would love to see that video if you have it?

Just to report. The card has been repaired. First, all the capacitors were changed, but that did not solve the problem. Now I finally changed the stabilizer and the Pulsar is now like new.
Thank you all!

What's the stabilizer?

[sandrob]

Sorry if I named wrong. That's the part with the 3 legs that says it:
AS2815AU
3.30012
ALPHA

[astroman]

It‘s a voltage regulator with 1.5A capability. The AS2830 is a 3A version, might be more heat resistant.
(the part is only cooled by the solder pad around it... and Croatia gets pretty warm in summer)
Congrats for the solution
