    Devices with possibility for capacitor failure

    I would like to start a thread of devices maybe to avoid because of the brand of capacitors used. I just opened up an addtronics p4 350w psu Model ENP-0735 and found it packed with TEAPO caps :cry: . Supposedly a premium psu, not used much because the fan is very powerful and noisy.

    looking back, i guess it wasnt such a good idea :o

    anyway i am going to list some stuff anyway, also consolidate some of my other posts. I will list devices with good caps and ones with potential bad caps. It was bad to say avoid these products without seeing an actual failure.

    GOOD
    HP DL380 G4 Server - Sanyo OS-Con on motherboard, Nichicon and Rubycon in PSU
    Cisco 2950t 24port switch - Nichicon on board, PSU has some dodgy looking ones

    BAD
    Zyxel ADSLoPOTS router - Hermei caps (nasty values also 1000uf 25V and very crowded, a difficult recapping if required but an excellent router)
    Zyxel GS-1008 8 ports gigabit switch - Supacon caps

      HISENSE 65E7KQ PRO - no boot
      by Sus256
      Hi all!

      HISENSE 65E7KQ PRO
      RSAG7.820.13512 - chassis
      MT9618BAATAB - cpu
      RSAG7.820.12059 - power
      HD650Y3U77 - panel
      KLM8G1GETF - emmc

      The TV does not turn on, the standby indicator is on. All voltages are present.
      Emms is dead. Not readable, not detected.
      Replaced emmc.
      But with another dump there is no launch

      DVR camera recorder switching power supply capacitor failure really
      by sam_sam_sam
      These cheap non brand capacitors at it again

      Last night we had a power outage [ long drawn out trying three to come back up before going out completely ] and when I went to turn the DVR camera recorder back today no go 3 bad capacitors ( one capacitor no ESR reading on DVR board the other 3 capacitor on the power supply board over 40 ohm this is not a misprint ) on the external switching power supply and one capacitor on the DVR camera recorder board where the power supply that goes to the hard drive disk is

      Well at least I have the cameras back on line I to try the...

      12/24 volt compressor cooler box inverter capacitor failure
      by sam_sam_sam
      This is my son’s cooler for his semi truck for his drinks the other day it started short cycling ( running for a second or two then shutting down ) and restarting four or five times then going into an error power cycle the controller then it would do the same thing again

      Found a 47uf@63 volts double the ESR value of a new one
      The 220uf@16 volts same as a new but 220uf@35 volt replacement capacitor

      The main filtering capacitor was not replaced because I did not have that was not too tall

      Where the 220uf capacitor is some type of switching power...

      RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
      by Prolog
      Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

      I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

      I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
      (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

      I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

      If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
      by chth96
      I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
      Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
      It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
      So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
      I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...
