Hello! I've got three motherboards that I would like to repair by replacing their bad, missing or risky electrolytic capacitors with polymers. Here are the motherboards and the capacitors on or missing from them that I would like to replace:
I want to use polymers since it seems to be anywhere from difficult to impossible to find suitable electrolytic replacements of the same sizes. I don't want to buy electrolytics too large to fit on the motherboards, and unless the polymers wind up being very expensive, I don't mind paying the extra price.
Since it seems like one does not simply replace electrolytics with polymers of the same capacitance, I would like some help picking good polymer replacements. I did look around before posting and found this thread. From that thread, I was able to come up with these as replacements:
UCC APSG160E821MH16S for all 1800uF
Nichicon RNU0J102MDN1 for all 3300uF
Could someone verify if these capacitor replacements are a good choice? If they're not, could I have better recommendations?
Thanks!
