      That's one hell of a bang!
      Ludicrous gibs!

          yes everything on board is usually done in a big way

              Wow, that steel door was messed up. Good thing no-one was in there.

              It was probably a Capxon

                  I bet there was a lot of underwear that needed to be changed besides those caps
                  Stupidity should be a crime, especially for drivers. I have NO patience for them.

                      DVR camera recorder switching power supply capacitor failure really
                      by sam_sam_sam
                      These cheap non brand capacitors at it again

                      Last night we had a power outage [ long drawn out trying three to come back up before going out completely ] and when I went to turn the DVR camera recorder back today no go 3 bad capacitors ( one capacitor no ESR reading on DVR board the other 3 capacitor on the power supply board over 40 ohm this is not a misprint ) on the external switching power supply and one capacitor on the DVR camera recorder board where the power supply that goes to the hard drive disk is

                      Well at least I have the cameras back on line I to try the...

                      12/24 volt compressor cooler box inverter capacitor failure
                      by sam_sam_sam
                      This is my son’s cooler for his semi truck for his drinks the other day it started short cycling ( running for a second or two then shutting down ) and restarting four or five times then going into an error power cycle the controller then it would do the same thing again

                      Found a 47uf@63 volts double the ESR value of a new one
                      The 220uf@16 volts same as a new but 220uf@35 volt replacement capacitor

                      The main filtering capacitor was not replaced because I did not have that was not too tall

                      Where the 220uf capacitor is some type of switching power...

                      RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
                      by Prolog
                      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...

                      If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
                      by chth96
                      I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
                      Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
                      It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
                      So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
                      I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...

                      How can I test non-polarized capacitor?
                      by chth96
                      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,...
