Can anyone identify this cap?

05-01-2006, 02:27 AM

I heard from a friend of mine that his computer is starting to show occasional bad cap symptoms (rebooting at inconvenient times etc). He can't take pictures due to the fact that there's stuff piled up next to his machine but he can at least see the caps. None of them are bulged or leaking in any way, at least not visibly. They have green plastic sheathing, gold writing and a * vent on the top. Not a K, T, Y or X vent, a 'star' vent. I've never seen a cap like that before, anyone know what it could be?

You know there's something wrong when you open your PC and it has vented Rubycons...

That's Teapo - not too bad, but they occasionally fail in VRM applications. It could also be a bad cap next to the Northbridge or DIMM slots.

A cooling improvement measure?

Or 'stuff' leaked out of a cap?

Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture

by TR103

Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:

- it keeps rebooting
- without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
- without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
- when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

Samsung QE50Q60TA rebooting

by plytek

Hi all.

I'm trying to fix my Samsung QE50Q60TA TV.
IT's rebooting every few seconds.
I have done some tests and it looks like it stops rebooting when I tape pin 46 (I thinks it's FB_1) on the ribbon tape that connects two boards atteched to screen, but nothing is visible, just backlight is solid and I can hear sound. Taping over other pins doesn't work.
Have also soldered two pins on the motherboard to check if I can get an image on the rights side of the tv, but it keeps rebooting.
Can anyone suggest what I can test and do to get it working again please?...

Lenovo Legion 7 - Help Identify IC

by silver60618

Hi gang, its a long shot, but working on Lenovo Legion Pro 7 motherboard NM-F091, and trying to identify this component near GPU with marking "eHFQH" that is burned and shorting the board. Looks like power management IC

I couldnt find any schematic or boardview. The CPU side also has same chip. Any way to identify this chip? or take measurements from the good chip to determine what it is?

Any help would be appreciated...

How can I identify varistor which have been blew up?

by chth96

I mistakely pluged 100v japanese retro game console to 220v outlet.
So It seems that glass fuse and varistor have been blew up.
I can identify that voltage and ampere value of glass fuse(250V LF 1.6A),but It is impossible to identify varistor type in my sega saturn PSU(YAMAHA 35M07U XR258)
Is there any way to identify varistor type in my sega saturn PSU?
Any reply would be appreciated.

EDIT:
It seems that I finally found out what type this black varistor is. It is Panasonic ERZV05D221 “ZNR” Transient/Surge Absorbers (Type D) Varistor Voltage...
