I just bought some 1000uF 10v capacitors from eBay to fix my Samsung 2220WM, but it seems like they are already bulging? Are they ok to use? Thanks.

Re: Are these 1000uF 10v capacitors from eBay ok?
Lol
eBay never ceases to amaze!
Your only source for legitimate capacitors is one of the large serious component stores like:
Elfa, Farnell, CPC, Mouser, Digikey, TME (in no particular order)
And to answer the question: they belong in the trash can, even more so when they are bulging but really the same if they where not!
Maybe you can ask the seller for a refund, though if it was from eBay seller la.tronics with itemid: 182597722384 I guess you got what you paid for, as they are bulging in the store photo!
But 177 sold batches of 10 pieces and perfect review score, LOL!

Re: Are these 1000uF 10v Topmay capacitors from eBay ok?
LCSC can also be a good place to get new capacitors (just only buy Elna, Nichicon, Nippon Chemi-Con, Panasonic, Rubycon, or Suncon).

Suncon? really?
as for the Topmay caps, you cant really complain because they do say "VENT" on them!

I have bought from eBay before without issue. But I guess I got unlucky this time. I'll definitely try to ask for a refund. Thanks.Lol

Re: Are these 1000uF 10v capacitors from eBay ok?
Agreed.
Same goes for most non-Japanese brands anyways, especially the no-name garbage from eBay.
Item as pictured, sorry!
Still worth a try going for a refund, though. If you have one of those cheap ESR meters / transistor testers, you can show their capacity and ESR is bad, improving your chance of getting a refund without having to return the caps. If caps still show OK ESR and capacity for whatever reason (sometimes can happen if they have recently just bulged), reverse-polarize them "gently" and then put them on the meter... then ask for a refund.
You can get legitimate Japanese caps on eBay and for a pretty good price... but there are only a handful of sellers and their stock and offered variety changes with time. So all in all, eBay is not a great place for buying caps. Neither is Amazon, where you can't even see a picture of the actual item (most sellers use a stock image and barely provide any info.) And AliExp.... nah, forget it.
Sanyo WF series are the ones to avoid. While many of these lasted 10+ years in service, they do have a 100% failure rate after a while. Everything I have with WF caps from the early 2000's has had those bulge and fail, with or without regular use. Their electrolyte is just not long-term stable.
If you happened to buy a legit Japanese brand, probably that's why.
Otherwise, everything else "no-name" on there is junk.
Don't waste your time with junk caps. Whatever you repair will last a few years at most. Some of the no-name garbage brands don't even last much in storage coming out of the factory, as is the case with these Topmay caps.Last edited by momaka; 07-11-2023, 09:16 AM.Comment

Re: Are these 1000uF 10v capacitors from eBay ok?
Suncon doesn't sell the WF series anymore, so nothing to worry about when buying new capacitors. However, it's probably a good idea to change out any Sanyo WFs on older equipment.

Hi, my Vizio M60-C3 does not power on. No lights whatsoever. Upon opening up the TV, the power supply board has 4 bulging capacitors. Each is 1000uF 16V. I have read that one can use capacitors of the same uF and higher voltage rating, but is 1000uF 35V capacitor too high of a voltage rating? My local shop only has these higher voltage capacitors so would rather just buy the 35V variety if it is OK to use them.
Any thoughts if OK to use these higher voltage capacitors? -
Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
power on.
Here are some examples :
(N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
switching supply area).
(N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
than 6.3 V.)

I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.

hey all, iv got my favourite battery charger here which iv had for many years probably 15 years now or maybe even more. it still works good but thought id open it up to clean the dust out of it, lots of dust inside but now its clean and noticed 4 capacitors inside it and wondered if i should replace them.
it has inside:
2 x 47uf 16v caps 105c branded as Su'scon (lol sounds sus to me)
2 x 470uf 16v LZ105c branded as G.Luxon
not heard of these brands are they any good?
iv attached photos of the charger and the board inside for an idea on the type of... -
I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow
This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board
After all of... -
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...Yes0%1All backlight strips are the same quality0%1No0%0
