    Re: panasonic fm failure in 5 minutes!

    Yeah, it's a shame they didn't learn it sooner. They still have G-Luxons as the smallest caps, but those shouldn't be an issue. I believe bad caps should be a recall issue, but I know that'll never happen...

    My video card was lucky, too. All Matsushita there. (Sapphire x1600Pro AGP)

    My next power supply, if all goes well, will be an Antec. New and unused for $30, you get the idea...Well, I'd better start practicing recapping now, got an old Sparkle (Teapos throughout) I could try it on...Have to leech from a Newton Power (good caps but useless) though, also not a problem. Those and Astecs, both from old Gateways, seem to grow on trees here.

    Yes, i know I should use new caps, and I will for important projects, don't worry!
    You know there's something wrong when you open up a PSU and are glad to find Teapos.
    Why I don't buy cheap cases!

        Panasonic Heatpump Dryer Repair
        by BigPete
        I picked up a Panasonic NH-P70G2, though it would apply to the NH-P80G2, NH-P70G1 and NH-P80G1 models as well, as maybe some other models. This one was coming up with a H86 error. After lots of testing and googling it was an error with one of the thermistors in the condenser area.
        The attached French service manuals is incorrect, TH11 is gray and is a 95k thermistor and TH12 is black and is a 35k thermistor.
        In my case TH12 was bad. I was able to get a 35k thermistor on AliExpress. It's 6mm in diameter.
        Unfortunately the whole machine has to come apart to fix it.
        I have...

        Panasonic TC-P55ST50 8 blinks then no blinks
        by Andre Gilbert
        Hello! yes I know there is already lots of information about this issue. I have a Panasonic TC-P55ST50 that originally displayed an 8-blink error code. Following the troubleshooting flowchart, I ended up replacing the SS board. However, even after replacing it, the issue persists. The TV turns on and stays on without displaying an image, and continuity is confirmed on all connectors. What am I missing here🤔?
        Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting 😂.

        TV Model: Panasonic TC-P55ST50

        Dell u2311h 20000 seconds to black issue
        by ChIck3n
        So I've had this monitor for probably a decade now, and it's finally starting to fail. Began with a little sporadic flickering, then eventually started going black (power LED stays blue, can still see image on screen with flashlight). A power on/off fixes it for a bit, but then it happens again. Once it got to the point I was dealing with this every few minutes, I opened it up and just replaced all the caps (minus the big one) on the power board with new Panasonic ones. All the old caps tested fine on an ESR meter, and this worked for 5 days. But the screen just went black again today, so...

        MacBook Pro late 2016 (820-00239) with multiple failure modes.
        by npielawski
        I will just preface all this by saying that I have a fairly technical background but have never attempted SMD electronics diagnostics and repair before, I really like the idea and want to learn.

        I have a MacBook Pro late 2016 that died maybe four years ago. Over the course of 30 seconds, it got slower and stuttered, until it froze for a second and died. No click from the trackpad anymore, nothing. I started getting interested in electronics repair and decided to give it a shot, so I opened it, removed the battery (one cell was puffy), took out the motherboard and experimented with...

        Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
        by AquaMan Ua
        Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...
