    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...

              Caps and how to find one to replace
              by edith
              Hello everyone I have a question. I have a laptop and his schematic. Can anyone tell me how to measure or any way to understand specific of caps so i can buy new one?

              Also in case how can I understand if some caps of some dead Mobo i have, are ok to be replaced in my new motherboard which im trying to fix?

              Thank you!

              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,...

              Replacement for the Siemens Bakelite caps in an early 1980s SMPS
              by rewease
              Hi everyone,

              There actually was a time when early SMPS and late bakelite housed electrolytic caps coexisted in high end industrial gear. A friend of mine just got himself a CNC milling machine form that time with its first set of now 41 year old caps still installed in the PSU... and it's malfunctioning.

              Two of the caps have already leaked slightly onto the board. I have not desoldered or measured any so far but they should qualify for replacement.

              Now I'm wondering what to put in there as a replacement. First idea was state of the art low-ESR Nippon KY,...
