ASUS P4T-E

For more information, see this article's corresponding Wikipedia page: Device.

This device is in the Bad Silk Screen category because it has mistakes from the factory that make the original silk screen unreliable. You may not be able to trust the original capacitor orientation polarities either. See the Known Issues sections for more details on what is wrong with this device.

Known Issues

Incorrect Polarity Markings

ASUS has marked the capacitor polarity opposite of industry standard: the white semicircle on this board is the positive side, not the negative side! Do not match up the negative stripe of the capacitor to the positive (incorrectly marked as negative) side of the motherboard!

Known Faulty Capacitors

The Sanyo capacitors located at CE24, CE28, and CE36 are known to be faulty; replace them with the capacitors (or equivalents) below.

Capacitor Replacement Notes

Due to the incorrect polarity markings you need to pay special attention when installing new capacitors to put them in matching the original orientations, not how the board is marked. Take plenty of photos before removing the originals as a guide and reminder to help with this.
