I was waiting for the day we'd see this, it was just a matter of time.

Thanks for the info and the pic!

Re: Bulging Samxon 10v 1000uf

I cannot find anything about the Samxon GL series. Also, how old is this DVD player? It is most likely that the printing on the back was misread (use a magnifying glass to confirm), or that the series was discontinued.

Re: Bulging Samxon 10v 1000uf

How hot where the case? is the desing of the circuit ok?
As far as there is no mistake or extra heat near the caps, this could be a cap to blame on Samxon. But in my experience, comsumer elektronics like DVD players aren`t desinged very good. Similar to sat recivers and so one. So i think if the desing is bad, you can even bulg an Rubycon or panny cap.
On the other hand it could easily be a releabled GSC ;-)
In any case, as far as there are not comming up more bad samxon, i consider it at a good cap manufacturer. But of course, if you could obtain Rubycon or Panasonic why bother?

I think the DVD player is about 4-5 years old. it was probably on standby power that long too. yes, it does say GL on the back. I tried googling it but not alot comes up.

On the photo, I can't see much (if any) bulging and certainly no electrolyte spillage. Also, is Samxcon supposed to be a good cap manufacturer? If so, take it off the good list

Done, I didn't realize there were still spams there for Samxon. They have been removed. Samxon is not promoted as a good capacitor manufacturer, the info above confirms that.

A rule of thumb in good capacitors: Caps that come out of China are notoriously cheap and very poor quality, as most all brands that are mentioned here as bad are indeed from China....

Most all your good cap brands are Japanese, such as Rubycon, Sanyo, and Panasonic.

Just got a pretty new Winfast Graphics Card with a bulging 1800uF Rubicon but I'm not ready to give up on Rubicons just yet.

Get us some pics of that! I've seen some bulging rubies before, but the cause was always something other than the capacitor...

Although, if the caps on your card are actually spelled 'rubicon', they're imposters. It should be 'Rubycon'.

He's no longer welcome here, and has been disposed of.

So you ban him? Why? He does no harm imo..

If he were civil, it would have never come to that. He was asked to stop spamming and private messaging members soliciting sales. He thought those rules didn't apply to him, so I put an end to it MY WAY. After that, he trolls here, creating retarded names, and being a jerk. I don't have time for his childish games, especially promoting a brand of caps I don't trust. He can promote Samxon all he wants, but he won't do it here.

Re: Bulging Samxon 10v 1000uf

I was thinking, Samxon should not be put on the bad capacitors list. There is so little evidence, either way, that it should not be put on any list. I think we should just wait and see.

your right.

i think the people in power here are basing their judgement of samxon caps more off of a personal problem they have with a reseller of them, then actual proof of a bad cap.

you have seen ONE bad samxon cap(which you still cant prove what caused it, considering it was in use for over 4 years in high temp enviroment) and you decide it should be taken off the goodcap list? but yet you admit seeing several bad rubycons, but yet have nothing but praises?

i do not think i need to poin out the glaring bias here.

Re: Bulging Samxon 10v 1000uf

I haven't seen single bad OST and still don't recommend to put them on goodcap list.

Re: Bulging Samxon 10v 1000uf

i have been told off the record that samxon was the oem for the hm/hn series nichicon.

If you're going to do it, do it RIGHT, with PROVEN components.
