    Capacitor "Crackling"

    I have a Asus Power M5 which emits a "crackling" noise from the general CPU area, I think this might be the capacitors as nearly all of the system voltages are out by around 1.5 to 2 volts (it fried a USB memory stick), I have tested the PSU voltages and they are all fine, however there have been no system instabilities.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

      Don't think it's the caps making that noise. Rather the inductors switching the CPU power. But it may be caused by bad caps indeed.

      A working TV? How boring!

          I once fired up a pc and heard a crackling sound. It turned out that bubbles were coming out of one of the caps.
          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

              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...

              Powersupply has all the voltages - Monitor still no power
              by Capacitorial
              Hello guys,

              I have a Philips 240B7QPJEB. The monitor seems completely dead.
              I opened it and measured the voltages of the powersupply. I found that a mosfet was dead and replaced it.
              On the connector, that goes to the TCON board, all voltages 15-19V and 5V are present.
              The small connector on the left of the PSU has two cables with 18V and all the other have 0.2V. It connects on this small connector on the left ontop of the panel. I guess the backlight? Seens fine I guess.
              The weird thing is, that the Power LED is powered over the TCON board.
              On The TCON...

              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,...

              Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
              by chth96
              When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.


              Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
              But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.
              Rubycon YK DataSheet (b...
