Hi,
my JVC home cinema DVD player, suddenly died . Suspected the power board and replaced a few 'suspect ' componants. Switched on, and was working fine......switched off (10 minutes later) and now its dead again (no standby light etc) After removing the top casing and plugging in ...I could hear a faint clicking sound....coming from the main, low profile 400V 68uf cap !!! I want to replace it.
I assumed that being a power supply board all the caps would be low ESR ...but cannot find a replacement cap with the right dimensions/ rating that has a low ESR.
My questions are, does the clicking sound mean the cap is bad (internal arcing ?) ? Does the replacement cap need to have a low ESR ?
I'd appreciate any advice, thank you
Regards David
