    replacement for 400v, 68µF, D=18mm, L=36(max) SAMXON

    Hi,

    my hyundai L90D+ monitor failed recently, and I suspect the caps. The PS looks very similar to jazen's (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7971). I have found low-ESR Frolyt replacements for all the smaller ones on the secondary side and for the backlight-power circuit, but I'm having trouble locating a replacement for the smoothing cap on the primary side. Its a SAMXON 68uF, 400v, with additional markings "T9A" and "KM(M)". it's 16mm in diameter and 32mm long. The PS is tucked into the back of the monitor, which is why this cap is so damned thin. The length can go to 36mm, but the diameter can't go beyond 18mm. I ordered a Rubycon ("RUBYCON - 400BXC68MEFC18X25 - KONDENSATOR,RADIAL,400V,68UF") from a distributor here in Germany, only to discover that I will receive it in April

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    thanks,

    Rob Urban

    Unless the cap has failed, it is usually unnecessary to replace it. Not a common failure.

      Welcome, rurban!

      The electrolytic capacitor you are talking about is a radial lead unit, and a recommended replacement is Nippon Chemi-Con KXJ (12000 hours), KMQ and KLJ, Nichicon PT (5000 hours) and VY, Rubycon BXA (12000 hours) and AXW.
      Please be sure to specify "radial lead" and the correct height and diameter when ordering, because some series (e.g. Nippon Chemi-Con KMQ) are available in radial lead and snap-in units.
      My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

        I doubt there are any snap-ins with that diameter.

          Macbook Air M2 A2681 Kernel panics after screen replacement
          by reformatt
          Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".

          It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...

          Unknown transformer : how to find a good replacement part ?
          by the_rem
          Hello guys,

          I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

          I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

          PS4 controller left stick potentiometer replacement issue
          by ezenia
          Hello,

          Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.

          So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.

          I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,...

          Trying to understand how to find best replacement cap for old parts.

          Disclaimer: This is the first time I step into the realm of analog electronics and my natural language is not English, so please forgive me if I failed to use the correct terms when describing things.


          Recently I purchased a Tektronix TDS1012, a 20 years old product for cheap and I thought it could be a nice opportunity for playing (i.e. recapping) and learn something in the process.
          The power supply board is exactly the same from this post so I'll just steal it for now.

          I'm trying to find replacements for all those Lelon electrolytic caps, but then quickly...

          Macbook pro logic board replacement parts quesion
          by boosti45
          i have a 2020 macbook pro 13" A2251 with 820-09149 logic board so i found an issue with chip labeled U6903 according to schem. boardview using flexBV software, so i removed it from the board and the issue im having is that the chip says "07A08FI ELC180​" on top of it but when searching for a replacement chip, i can find tons of identical looking chips that also have "ELC180" printed on them but the first set of digits is never the same so im trying to find out if i need this exact chip with these same numbers as mine and if not which ones are compatible as a replacement?...
