The vendor didn't state they were Nichicon though. Seeing as they come from China, I'd be suspicious of their potential origin.

But they don't have motherboard caps, only normal 10mm ones.

You're confusing size with application.

I just recapped the power supply of a Cyberhome DVD recorder (manufactured 2005?). It's a pretty nice unit that I got for next to nothing ($25). Two 2200 mf caps were bulged. The unit was exhibiting lots of strange behaviors; display scrambled, erratic remote operation...and finally complete failure to function at all.
OTOH, I expected all of this based on web research of the unit. This particular unit (DVR 1600) has some pretty well-documented shortcomings. It also has some pretty neat features, reasonable performance, and can be had for a song.
In addition, I heatsinked the regulators on the board (one even had a silkscreened outline of a heatsink on the board, but none installed), and added a cooling fan. I think the fan might have been overkill--the real problem being the result of only *10v* rating on the original caps, but better safe.....
It's now working like a champ. I'd like to find a BIOS upgrade for it, but I haven't located the download. Cyberhome is defunct--no factory support--but reportedly there is a later version.

mF ? You mean it has 2.2 FARADS of smoothing ?
Do please use the correct terms. I assume you mean 2200 uF.
m = milli = 1/1000

Thanks for the spelling flame....

Fuhjyyu isn't fake Fujitsu. I may be wrong, but I believe Fujitsu makes only solid caps now.
Why does Fuhjyyu use the round Hitachi symbol?

Both located in UK and will ship to mainland Europe. I have used both to obtain caps for motherboards (including hard-to-find 1200uF and
1800uF ones.)
