    Fake? Panasonic FL Series 6.3v/1800uf

    Hey guys. I'm thinking about buying some caps on ebay and wondering if these http://cgi.ebay.com/500-Panasonic-6-...item3a5ac65048 are the real deal.
    They look to have a protruding rubber base (hard to tell from the photo). Wondering if anyone had some info on the panasonic date codes. Other posts about fake caps on ebay have me a bit skeptical about buying these.
    Thanks in advance.

      Panasonic FL is a genuine ultra-low ESR series for motherboard use, generally sold only to the large mobo OEMs like Asus, Gigabyte and the like. It isn't available at retail, and there's no datasheet online anywhere.

      The ones on EBay could be genuine surplus caps from one of the mobo OEMs or contract manufacturers like Flextronics. However, there's no way to tell if it's genuine from the EBay pic alone, without measuring some of its properties like ESR, etc.

          Thanks for the quick response. I've emailed the seller to see if they can send some pics of the top and bottom of the caps. Hopefully we can get some pictures.
          If I were to get a hold of these, what would a good esr reading be. Other caps of this value usually read .01 I believe. If they are genuine, would the Panasonic FL be too low to measure on the blue?

              the font looks definitively fishy.
              but more pictures would be helpful.

                  fake Rubycon MCZ's with panasonic vents and poor sleeving..
                  i'd stay away from that seller..

                  edit: looking at his feedback, a lot of it is private. suggests he has something to hide IMO..

                      Good eye Scenic.
                      Deal seems too good to be true. However,another buyer just left some positive feedback for the same caps I was looking at. He has not got back to me with anymore pics. It is tempting. My gut tells me to just order from mouser like I always do.

                          Mouser would certainly be a better option than ordering from this guy. The only ebay seller I have found to be reliable is PCMCS. I've ordered from him before and all of his caps sure do look genuine.

                              reported.

                                  It is very important to know every aspect of the product before buy, whether it is genuine or fake.

                                  It will really make life easy if investigate properly before buy.

                                      Panasonic TC-P55ST50 8 blinks then no blinks
                                      by Andre Gilbert
                                      Hello! yes I know there is already lots of information about this issue. I have a Panasonic TC-P55ST50 that originally displayed an 8-blink error code. Following the troubleshooting flowchart, I ended up replacing the SS board. However, even after replacing it, the issue persists. The TV turns on and stays on without displaying an image, and continuity is confirmed on all connectors. What am I missing here🤔?
                                      Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting 😂.

                                      Fake GPUs on eBay and elsewhere
                                      by shovenose
                                      Was searching for GPUs. All such a ripoff right now. But just seeing if I happened to find a good deal. Personally I'm fine w/ the (legit) GTX1050 in my main PC. Good enough for the 10 mins of gaming I do every month. But we're trying to build a gaming PC for the BF on a budget and for now I lent him a little Optiplex I stuffed a 1030 in but was just hoping for something better.


                                      Anyway, found this crap: https://www.ebay.com/itm/194206843675

                                      Obviously fake since it has a VGA port. Reported it as well as another one I found from a different seller. I know it's really...

                                      Backlight strip quality, Amazon vs Ebay vs ShopJimmy. Is there really a difference?

                                      Hello everyone!

                                      Recently I've noticed that some ShopJimmy backlight strips don't have double-sided tape installed upon them when an application calls for it, and I must purchase the tape separately. In a recent chat conversation with a customer service agent I told them if this tape wasn't applied when it was called for I would begin to consider ordering my backlight strips elsewhere. It looks like this time may have come.

                                      I recently got a TCL 65S4 with bad backlights. After looking at the SJ listing here: https://www.shopjimmy.com/tcl-jl-d65...365as-m-led-ba...

                                      Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
                                      by AquaMan Ua
                                      Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...
