    Bad Caps affect on time / clock functions

    can someone please help elaborate if a bad cap will affect time / clock functions. My fancy coffee machine has a preset pour for espressos's all of the presets are way out of wack what use to be 25 seconds is now 12.

    I am about to replace the psu caps but need some guidance if a bad cap would slow down or speed up clock functions?

      maybe more of a firmware issue if the actual readout is wrong .

          If the filter caps are failing, the MCU gets dirty power cutting in and out which can corrupt EEPROM saved values or prevent the MCU from timing properly.
          With no model number, no pictures of the coffee machine, it's hard to give details.

              Adding a clock battery to action camera to retain date&time when changing batteries Campark X25
              by flat-earther
              I have a cheap action camera with an annoying trait, every time I change batteries the date & time gets reset and I have to set it again.

              To solve this problem I want to add a small internal battery inside it which will keep supplying power to the camera for a while while I change batteries so the date & time is retained.

              I have opened the camera and I think there is enough room to add something inside to accomplish this:

              The camera is powered by a 3.7V nominal single cell lithium ion battery.
              So I need to connect another battery in...

              Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
              by Paxman_Swede
              Hello!

              I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

              The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

              I have studied the board and...

              HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair
              by momaka
              Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

              I have 3 of these in my home for over 10 years now and Im planning on replacing them as I lean towards a Philips Hue home setup.
              They are great units but they lost the ability to keep/store the time and settings after power outages and brown outs.
              I knew it was a battery in there somewhere but never got around to looking into it.
              Well an opportunity came for me to remove this from its home in my wall so I disassembled it to see what was going on.
              I found a 3.6V LIR1632 battery spot...

              Help with switching power supply caps
              by captain150
              I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
              I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...
