just want to share my success at my first capacitor replacement. it was an old pentium2 board (gigabyte ga6bxc) . i removed the capacitor and then attatched 2 wires on the underside of the board where the capacitor was sodlered on. i taped those down, taped the other ends to a capacitor (same ratings as old one) and taped the capacitor to the cpu. its rather ghetto, if you know what i mean, but it works.

Ghetto huh....
:roll: 
Well... back in the days of yore, I'd rig up a car stereo on occasion with methods such as tape and bare twisted wires...
Wel all have to start somewhere, now ya might get a little more daring and get the 'ol soldering iron out...<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Title:
Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition
Description:
During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.
Procedure performed:
- Removed backplate
- Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
- Reapplied thermal compound
- Reassembled card
Observed behavior after reassembly:
- GPU powers on and operates normally under... -
Laptop does not power on but has a fix white light on power button, when connected to power.
I found, while trying to diagnose, a hot spot in the motherboard and found it to be a shorted capacitor (see photo below) on the 2.5v (2D5V_S3 on schematics). After replacing it with one from a donor board, still, the board does not turn on...
The usb-c meter reads upon connection 20.1v and 0.00a, with some occasional flashes to 0.03amps. After 10/15 seconds circa, it goes to 5.2v and draws an almost constant 0.07amps. (same behaviour as before)
To my fingers, nothing seems... -
Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.
I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.
I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
(yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)
I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never... -
I have acquired a used Dick Smith Q-1760 power supply - although the OEM is Manson Industrial
It has at least one problem.
The voltage control potentiometer VR2, 50K is faulty - going high resistance / open circuit in the CCW end and leading to the output voltage jumping around.
I have already ordered a replacement potentiometer, so that's not an issue.
Now, I want to replace all three electrolytics on the PCB as they are CapXon and I don't trust them so much, I will replace them with something better while I've got the thing apart anyway.
All are CapXon... -
I desoldered samwha NF capacitor(50v 5.6uf) from PCB circuit of 29inch CRT TV which have symptoms of no display after I heard sound of inrush of current to TV whenever I switch on this television.
I measured ESR value of this non-polarized capacitor(samwha NF capacitor 50v 5.6uf) by means of MESR-100 ESR meter and It displayed 0.3 ohm
And When I measured its capacitance with digital multimeter and LCR-T4 Mega328 meter, It displayed 10uf from DMM and 8uf from LCR-T4 meter.
I found catalogue of samwha capacitor(samwha-catalogue_3.pdf file), which is attached to this thread,...
