    Seeking advice - Marcon or Hitano

    Hi,
    I am new here and it is a pleasure to be a part of your forum.

    I have two blown caps near the CPU of my Soyo SY-6BA + 100.

    It is a video editing computer so it runs many long hours. It won't post. PSU is good, CPU good. No beeps. Everything spins up, etc.

    I have two different capacitors I can install, but I cannot find out anything about one of them.

    The one with posted specs is the Hitano 8mm 1000 uf /10 v cap number 9735A. I have searched the forum and read mixed reviews on these. I have a bunch of them.

    The other one is a Marcon 13mm 1000 uf/10v cap number CE-MD. I can't find anything out about them except that they are now a part of United Chemi-Con. I actually used two of these to repair a Soyo SY-6BA + IV a few years ago and the board has been running fine ever since. I don't know if they are low-ESR or not.
    The 6BA+IV wasn't as critical a computer as the video editing computer so I wanted to ask before I went ahead and used the Marcons. With reasonable care they will fit. I do need to be up and running soon.


    Recommendations?

    Further specs -

    The Hitano number (9735A) doesn't show up on the Hitano website and I am not really sure which Hitano I have. The dimensions are 8mm diameter x 11 mm long and they are black. Heat rating is 105 degrees C and is says VENT on it. They are a little wierd because the leads are both the same length and are really short (around 4mm long). They will have to be soldered from the PCB side of the board. The Neg lead IS marked though.

    The Marcon CE-MD is Blue and is 13mm Diameter x 23mm long. Heat rating is 85 degrees C and it has a rating of 1 SB. Normal long leads on them.

    Thanks,
    John

      Sorry, the Hitano is 8mm x 14.5 mm long (not 11mm long).

        OK,
        The Hitano caps are SNAP IN Terminal Type, but they must be a discontinued model because none of the three listed here match in voltage or size.

          i have no experience with either of them.

          we can only recommend to use known reliable types, especially with mission critical systems. anything else, you are on your own.

          Where to buy capacitors / Recommended types

          isnt video encoding somewhat cpu intensive. you could pick up a budget current system which would be more than quite faster. otherwise watch the for sale section of this site.

          welcome anyway. anyone with a soldering iron in their hand is most welcome indeed.

            On the Hitano, "9735A" is probably the date code - 35th week of 1997. Snap-in caps aren't low impedance parts per se, but usually are fairly low impedance, and have fairly high ripple current ratings.

            Marcon became part of UCC in the early 90s or so, so that Marcon cap is probably 10 or more years old. Also, since it is rated for 85C it probably is a general purpose or low-leakage current part rather than a low ESR, high ripple current part (which are normally rated for 105C).

              Thanks to both of you for the knowledge and advice. Despite the fact that the Marcon caps have worked in the nearly identical 6BA+IV board for three years and the Hitano caps "may" work I think the safest bet for my 6BA+100 editing computer would be to order some of the low-ESR recommended caps like the Panasonic FC/FM or the like.

                  Sorry for the confusion, but the caps I was referring to are caps I have had in my electronics parts inventory for a long time. They could easily be that old.

                    Just wanted to let you know that the Panasonic FM caps came today. Replaced the two blown Wendell caps and I am back up and editing Act II right now.

                    Thanks guys for the advice.

                      Seeking Advice: Repairing Dell U3425WE Monitor with Faulty USB-C/Thunderbolt Ports
                      by Borse2008
                      Hi everyone,

                      Looking for some advice or opinions on what to do with a monitor issue I’ve run into. Apologies in advance is this crossovers a few forum categories.

                      I have a Dell U3425WE, which I've recently replaced with another model. That said, the original unit is still fully functional in terms of the display — it works perfectly over HDMI and DisplayPort. However, the USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 ports have stopped functioning correctly. The Issue:
                      • The 90W Thunderbolt 4 port (circled in the photo) no longer charges or powers any device, including laptops or MacBooks.
                      • There’s

                      Seeking Advice on Enhancing Heatsink for Main Processor on SAMSUNG TV Motherboard
                      by Ven
                      Hello everyone,

                      I'm looking to upgrade the heatsink on the main processor of my TV's motherboard for better cooling performance.

                      The current heatsink is a square-shaped one (2.8cm x 2.8cn) with a basic design, and I believe a more efficient heatsink could help with thermal management and potentially extend the life of the TV.

                      I'd appreciate any advice on the best type of heatsink to use, specific product recommendations, and tips for installation.

                      If you've done a similar upgrade, I'd love to hear about your experience and any challenges you...

                      Hello, Tv Has no Backlight (or Sound that i know of)

                      Tv Turns on flashing Orange/Green, and then turns to white with remote and can be turned on and off.
                      Was also able to update firmware with no change.
                      The TV had a Burnt LED Driver IC on the Main Power board, Both main power boards have been replaced.


                      I would like to test the backlights on this TV without opening it up. I am confused by all the ribbon cables coming off the LED Driver board
                      I have a LED Tester...

                      Seeking help and advice to remove bios admin password – HP ProBook 4520s
                      by Phad
                      Dear All,

                      Hope that this post is at the right place of the forum.

                      I am seeking help and technical advice to remove bios admin password from HP ProBook 4520s.

                      The laptop is operating normally and, I am not facing any major issue with it except; the bios admin password that I found about by coincidence only few weeks back.

                      As the laptop is operating normally, I am reluctant to take it to a workshop to de-solder the bios chip in order to read it by an external programmer, as I am not an expert in doing such a thing.

                      After...

                      Advice sought - Selector switch knob repair
                      by ClockChip
                      Hello Everyone,

                      I am seeking to repair a knob on an old (circa 1971) Panasonic clock radio (a model RC-6900). The good news is that I have the small, easily lost knob. The bad news is that the knob has come off a slotted post and I need to re-attach it in such a way that I won't have to worry about it coming loose again.

                      Here is a picture of the bare slotted post (if I have the term right) the knob should be attached to:



                      As you can see, this is an Old School selector switch, which means it's pretty stiff. Put another way: the knob has to fit...
