Hipro HP-D3057F3H
The Original Capacitors
These power supplies are very common in Compaq and HP branded computers, and I often run into them with a failed 5Vsb capacitor, which prevents the unit from starting. They usually use Teapo capacitors throughout the secondary side, although I occasionally come across units with LTEC capacitors. They use four 2200µF 16V (two on the 12V rail, two on the −12V rail), four 2200µF 10V (two on the 3.3V rail, two on the 5V rail), a 1000µF 10V and a 470µF 10V capacitor (both on the 5VSB rail).
The replacement capacitors
Again, I had to drop the capacitance significantly on all but the 5Vsb rail, where I was able to keep it the same.

This power supply did much better than the SmartPower, passing both tests. This power supply is obviously more tolerant of different capacitors than the CWT-built Antec SmartPower.
