    Fake Rubycons?

    Hi,
    I have an Abit motherboard full of these Rubycons that all look different than other Rubycons Ive seen before. The width of the lines that make the 'K' are very thick and you can see the ends of the lines. Most rubycons I have seen have thin lines and the ends are hidden under the wrapping.
    What do you think, are they real or fake?

      They look real to me. As a general rule, if they come with the motherboard, they are authentic. The only exception is ECS. I have pulled some fake pannies from them before.
      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

          Yes, they do look fake.

              Ok thanks c hegge.
              This board powers on and the fans spin but there are red led's lit up by the cpu, it gives 1 long beep and 4 shorts beeps, then shuts itself down after a few seconds.
              There are 5 KZG caps by the 24 pin connector and one more by the memory, but the rest are Rubycon or solid caps. None are swelling/leaking.

                  I'd be more worried about the KZG caps. they are known for failing without showing it.

                              I've had the exact same caps on a dual-PIII board (think it was an Asus) - they are genuine.

                                  They look real to me. It looks like Rubycon's sleeve cutting machine might have needed adjustment that day, as the sleeve length is a bit inconsistent, but it's nothing I haven't seen before.

                                  Abit used 8 x 11.5mm 6.3V 1000uF YXG on a lot of their boards. I've never seen this size on a data sheet, but I've pulled a few from dead Abit boards and I've seen nothing that would lead me to believe they're fake.

                                      by Stanley1843
                                      Hello, I have a screen in where sometimes when I open it pop-up vertical multicolor lines (I would say the most of them are green). If I tun off and turn on the screen the lines dissapear or if I leave open the screen after approximately five minutes the lines gone. I measured the below voltages on the main PCB and on the T-CON board and the voltages are the same when it doesn’t display the vertical lines and when it displays the vertical lines. Also, I cleaned all the connectors very good with IPA. I moved back and forth the connectors and the COF tabs but the vertical lines didn't displayed...

                                      This sums up discussion related to Lenovo P14s Gen5 in this thread. Credits go to Sbaro and especially Maxpower3. The locked dump is attached.

                                      The device is based on NM-F871 motherboard with Nuvoton NPCK397 series controller. The motherboard also contains three BIOS chips: two different Winbond chips for main BIOS and external EC flash, and also a Gigadevice chip which purpose I do not know. The password information is contained directly in controller and thus can be manipulated by reprogramming it, so reprogramming BIOS chips is technically not required, however you may wish to make...

                                      Hi all
                                      I have lines on the screen...which is an age old problem that can be remedied by watching Youtube videos and getting out the tape.
                                      My issue (after successfully fixing a different sammy tv with a separate tcon board and isolating the side of the panel...):

                                      This tv has an integrated tcon...so it is a bit more confusing when trying to isolate the clocks.
                                      It has a c ribbon and i have taken each end out to see if that will isolate the lines. instead, it makes it much worse ALL over the tv!

                                      So....i don't know what end of the C ribbon to work with...

                                      Samsung QE50Q67TAU - horizontal lines
                                      by Rubenlily
                                      Hello,

                                      First of all I'm new here. While looking I found this amazing forum and I'm very happy I did. Now for my problem:

                                      I picked up a Samsung UHD QLED QE50Q67TAU from 2021 for $50 knowing it was defective. The seller said it had black lines and that it could get stuck in boot randomly.

                                      I've tried a new power cable, hard reset, opening up and jiggling all cables, pressing everywhere to see if I get a reaction but I've gotten nothing. I've tried the tape method but I've only managed to get the lines worse.

                                      I'm no expert but I've done the tape...

                                      Sony XBR-65X750D Horizontal lines bottom of screen
                                      by ggil44
                                      Hi, I have a Sony XBR-65X750D that has horizontal lines at the bottom 6 inches of the screen. These lines appear to be every other line because the picture is still quite visible behind those lines. The lines appear all the time with a few other lines above and below the 6 inch level blinking on and off at about 2 second intervals. I'm not sure if this is a panel issue or power supply/main board problem. I did replace the T-Con board without any change in the problem. Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
                                      05-30-2023, 07:51 PM
