    RP=can I replace 1500ul 10v caps with 1800ul 10v ??

    Just placed my order this date(04dec2011)
    I ordered 1800ul 10v instead of the 1500ul 10v.
    It's a IbeeM 13R8926 MB that is prone to bulgers
    I bought some caps from a local guy and even those bulged
    within a year.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks,

      That should not be a problem.
      Low ESR caps are +/-20% for uF anyway and 1800 is 1500+20%.
      - And, uF goes down as caps age.
      .
      If your caps keep bulging either you are using the wrong kind of caps [meaning not low enough ESR] or the PSU is bad or you have heat/cooling problems.
      [Or a combination of those.]

          That's a relief . . .

          I'm putting this MB in vertical case.
          I've always used oversized CPU heatsinks and industrial
          type cooling fans.
          The old desktop case PSU had a few bulgers.
          But I didn't put 2+2 together till you mentioned it!!
          Thanks a lot.

              Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
              by momaka
              I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

              For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

              It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

              Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
              by Paxman_Swede
              Hello!

              I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

              The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

              I have studied the board and...

              Replacing electrolytic caps by solid caps on old motherboards
              by madscientist750
              I do have several old pc motherboards which i recapped 10 year ago and some of those caps are bulged now.
              I would like to upgrade them using solid capacitors. I do use them for testing and helping some alternative operating systems.
              I would like to ask if such an upgrade can be done, what should i have in mind when replacing electrolytic by solid caps and if such thing exist, if there are caps list for old motherboards. I would have to figure out what caps needs each motherboard and then prepare a list to try to ask for them on some electronics stores.

              Which caps to replace: ECS P4M800Pro-M V1.0A
              by Mattz_GT
              It's feeling like this board has a case of badcaps, instability and reboots - and not wanting to necro a a very old thread, it seems the 680uF 4V are highly suspect.
              I don't really want to blanket recap everything, but maybe the others around that area could do with being changed?

              Equipment: I have a temperature controlled soldering station, read the bit where it says set to 400F, don't think I would have gone that high without reading that.
              Spring plunger solder sucker, and some desolder braid... and a bit of good old leaded 60/40.

              PS. Additional diagnostic,...
