    PCBONEZ tells how to choose capacitors ...

    If you can't find the datasheets for the existing caps, my guess is that Rubycon MCZ or Panasonic FM is more that suitable as replacements.

      Assuming they're in the power supply, I'd just use Panasonic FC.
      I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

      No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

          If FC is too big, you might be able to find a suitable FK.

              Rubycon MCZ is not suitable for most power supplies. Rubycon ZL would very likely be fine, though, and they can be bought here at badcaps.net.
              Other choices of caps for power supplies are KY, KZE, LXY, and LXZ from United Chemicon, as well as PW, PM, HE, and HD from Nichicon.

              Just check the brand and series of the caps you have (series is usually 2 or 3 letters), then look for their datasheets on Google. After this, look up datasheets for the above series I listed, and see which one best match the caps you have - basically follow PCBONEZ's advice in above link on how to choose the proper caps.

                Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                by Tynan Dill
                I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                Assuming...

                Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                by PantherDave
                Hi all!

                I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                by eryjus
                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."
                ...

                LG 42LB5D, 42LB5DF-UL, 2008-01, Power On Issue, Replaced PS Caps
                by bcstedt
                LG 42LB5D (42LB5DF-UL) from 2008-01, unit is in good shape and no obvious heat damage or cracked solder on the boards.

                Problem:
                On first power-up the power LED flashes green about 18x and then stays solid. No backlight or image is present. Click power button, wait 10s for a click and the LED turns red. Wait 1-2s and hit power again and maybe it'll power up fully after 6 green flashes. If it doesn't light up on the sixth flash then the cycle repeats.

                It seems that if the mainboard power is left on for a few minutes (solid green power, no backlight, no image)...

                Help with switching power supply caps
                by captain150
                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,...
