Spotted this on an Intel 775 board. It's the only one that has popped.
I thought Nichicon were ok caps? Just a random bad one?

Re: This can't be real
It usually look something like H0422 (2004, Week 22). Nichicon HM and HN had manufacturing defects which they fixed on 2005, so if the date code is 2005 or older, then that might explain why it failedI love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

Re: This can't be real
That looks just like the blown Nichicon HMs that i have right here, i'm 90% sure it's the same cap. So it's from the faulty series.A working TV? How boring!Originally posted by PeteS in CAComment

Re: This can't be real
The board also has Nichicon VR series which are 85C and can be a problem in poorly cooled systems.
Even the small 4mm & 5mm fail.

Re: This can't be real
It's next to a mosfet, which may get very hot. Checked the PSU?
I have a slew of ASUS 945 boards being "destroyed" by bad ASUS branded Delta PSUs. There's one particular KZG cap that cooks next to a mosfet - meaning the SATA controller stops working
I'm pretty sure the faulty PSU caps causes the mosfet to get very hot, cooking the KZG cap.
Maybe something similar has happened to you?
Edit:
I'm pretty sure the Nichions I pulled out of my SX280 were 05 dated. One had baked, but it is a hot box in there.Comment

Re: This can't be real
You had a fault asus psu? I need to know about that. Bexuase i have one. And i consider it high end becuae its really heavy and has good 12v ratings for 300w. Is the 300w asua the one you had tha was faulty?Comment

Re: This can't be real
I don't have one, I have four. Five, if you count the first one I threw out, thinking it was a one-off dud.
Open it up and check!!
There is a very tall, slim Capxon 2200uf 6.3v cap that usually failed.
There is also another one that has failed in some, think it may be a 2200uf 16v - can't remember exactly.Comment

Re: This can't be real
Was it 300w?Comment

Re: This can't be real
I believe it says it'll peak at 300w.

Re: This can't be real
I love how cheap PSU manufacturers use that term to deceive people not in the know they see the wattage and ignore the peak after it.
So 300W for a few milliseconds before it lets out the magic smoke. Since most of these crap supplies don't have over current protection.
Where between 300W and 1W is the continuous rated wattage? We will never know probably the engineer at Wan Hung Lo corporation who made it doesn't know either. I'd fathom a guess it's between 150W and 200W.
But if they put the REAL continuous rating on the PSU nobody would buy it since it's not the 90s anymore

Re: This can't be real
Mine actually says asus in big letters imprinted on Its casing. And it has bigger heatsinks. And it has an 80mmfan on the end not the 120mm on the "bottom"???Comment

Re: This can't be real
I have verified that my psu is different. It has jamicon secondaries, bigger heatsinks, more density, etc. It also said bestec on of the transformers. So its really a decent psu. Asus s-30fp.Comment

Re: This can't be real
Bestec power supplies can be pretty solid units. 300W is not that hard to achieve. About 70% of those 500-650W off brand chinese psu's are based off of 300W platforms that some little company in china designed with their highly trained staff of two engineers.

Hi Peeps.
Just a quick question please as I am by no means an Apple fundi at all.
Can a 'popped' battery cause the Macbook to be completely dead? Client said the battery definitely popped. It doesn't look swelled or anything but it doesn't switch on at all. No lights, no fans, nothing.
Also, using a 85W original Apple charger. That is working for sure. Does it need more wattage?
Don't want to go buy a battery for no reason.
Client is adamant is worked before the battery popped and I can't see any damage what so ever on the board... -
Hi!
Asus B85M-GAMER absolute no hdmi output (not at start, not at Windows), and random restarts. Everything work, except hdmi and random restarts after 0.1-3 min. Restarts even in bios. On VGA Windows boots up fast, games and apps starts ok. Mem, psu, cpu changed, no luck. I need shematic, because i think the restarts caused by the hdmi failure. -
Hi.
BacCaps forum is awesome - thank YOU ALL for sharing knowledge!
This is about DONG YANG PSU BN44-00195A failiure in Samsung 245BPLUS. It started with bang and smoke from the back of LCD. Downloaded diagram BM44-00192A - a bit different but I will use all parts names from this diagram [and real PSU].
BIG CAP CP801 had 315V, on standby pin 5,2V. After shorting S_B ON (through 3,3k ohm resistor) 24V and 5,3V were missing, on CP801 was 312V.
RM801 [real PSU: RM801 - 0,22 ohm 1W] - FAIL
burned, measured 10M ohm.

Hi everyone,
I've got a problem with my Asus TUF Gaming FX506LX laptop. I bought it as a non-working unit it had been completely drenched in a sweet alcoholic drink and was left for a year... When I got it, the motherboard wasn't in terrible shape, but I had to clean a lot of areas—about 1/5 of the motherboard. There was some corrosion, but I managed to clean it up and re-soldered where I saw issues under a microscope.
One of the two primary MOSFETs was fried (PQ33 fried and PQ34 were fine), so while I was waiting for a replacement, I desoldered it and created a short.... -
I have an LG Plasma TV 60PM6700 for the past ~12 years.
In the last ~3-4 months I have been having some issues.- Problem: It started with random picture disappearing (sound still worked).
Frequency: Happened about once a week.
Solution: Had to turn off TV wait a few seconds before turning it on again. - Problem: Then it got worse and the TV started to shut down and when turning on the no picture just sound.
