I got a dual p3 1.46ghz with 4gb ram that i plan to build intoa wooden case. (ill need help designing that later lol) but meanwhile i have suspicions about the caps used. There are lots of sanyo caps, most of the with the weird K vent, but some of the bigger ones have a weird vent shape. I could describe it as part of a chain-link fence maybe? Also, the green part is pulled way far on top of the caps. Pics may come tonight but i think you get the idea!

Re: Counterfeit sanyo caps?
Sanyo can get a bit...sloppy...with their sleeve cutting at times, esp. compared to the other Japanese brands. I've seen large diameter (12.5mm+) Sanyo caps with a different vent style. I can't recall off the top of my head what it looks like, but I'd recognize it if I saw a picture. -

Re: Counterfeit sanyo caps?
I sent caps into Sanyo for validation a while back and according to Sanyo they only used the K vent.

Re: Counterfeit sanyo caps?
They gave it to me in writing so I could send it into eBay.
Which I did.
And eBay STILL didn't do a fucking thing.

Re: Counterfeit sanyo caps?
i and several others have reported the counterfiet rubycons on ebay.these are blatent fakes with panasonic style vent stamps.still for sale!
pain in the ass to use the ebay reporting page as there are no dropdowns for other and fill in the reason.
bottom line is they dont care and if a so called power seller is the offender they let it slide.this is what will kill them off.and we thought the assinine rules for sellers would be the cause.
ebay has been as good as dead for me for about 3 years.
and the usual suspects with all the fakes have good feedback so you cant even trust that.

Re: Counterfeit sanyo caps?
All the Sanyo caps I've seen that are 10mm diameter or less had the K vent. All the Sanyo caps I've seen that are 12.5mm diameter or more had the elongated X vent.
I've only seen the larger Sanyos in power supplies, nothing on a motherboard.
I also see Sanyo caps rather infrequently, so my experience can hardly be called conclusive.Comment

Theyre on a server motherboard. Interestingly enough each cpu has its vrm modulsComment

Re: Counterfeit sanyo caps?
So the sleeving can be a bit inconsistent at times? ie. some having the sleve pulled further over the top than others. The reason I ask is because I have a few Sanyo WG 1000uF caps from what I thought was the only reliable eBay seller (egekecu/PCMCS) and some have the sleves pulled further than others, but other than that, they look genuine (K vent, no bullseye target rubber seal etc.) and all his other caps (panny, rubycon, etc) don't have this inconsistancy.Attached FilesI love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

Hello,
First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.
I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.
I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

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... -
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,... -
Good evening
I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?
But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
