I am rebuilding a pathfinder IP. Found Mb's I may use online. I was wondering if anyone has fixed the original Mb's. I can see several ovious capacitors swollen and leaking by CPU. Hate to spend to much time replacing caps etc. Hard to find isa mb's. I found some in my storage but the platform technolgy is to old p3,p2 etc? Anyone had luck rebuilding one?

I used to build them and on occasion rebuild them. I think they were all analog, but that doesn't matter. The problem is like you said, hard to find ISA motherboards and that has been the case for years. I happen to have an old working Analog PF in storage.

Thanks again Derrick, I think I will give this a shot to rebuild it. Order a mb for it. You guys rock on this forum. I found this a few years ago trying to help my tech find a real weird problem. Ended up sending a trace to support. In a 7 ip phone enviroment paging would disconnect calls and sound like it was under water. Support had us put an additional voip card to fix. we completely rewired that place and it still would bomb out on paging.
Thanks again, Mike
