Are these fake? Something doesn't look quite right about the font on the label, or the vent of the caps.

Re: Fake Rubycon MCZ?
They are 100% phony. The vent is wrong and the font and lettering are wrong. This is why I don't allow ANY ebay cap seller promotion on this site, period...because 99% of the caps on ebay are chinese fakes/knockoffs. That's also why you're getting 1000 of them for 89 bucks shipped. Complete garbage.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: Fake Rubycon MCZ?
Panny T-vent on a ruby?
There are two sellers I can think of who only sell real caps (although some may be NOS). I (and a few others) have actually suggested them in the past for those who either can't order from the US or are after caps which you don't have.I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

Re: Fake Rubycon MCZ?
I saw a few Teapo capacitors with the Nichicon brand name on them, if you want to make a fake, get the color of the label and the vent right!Comment

Re: Fake Rubycon MCZ?
Still using IE? shame on you :P
That only happens if you resize the window in IE. In Firefox etc., it's fine.
But yeah. There are only 2 ebay sellers I'd trust at all for caps. Namely Audjade_chn (mostly audio related, few MB caps) and the PC Motherboard Capacitor Store (which could use a shorter name IMO..)
Other than those two, I'd expect the caps you get (from other sellers) to be fakes, no matter how good they may look in the pictures.
The ones linked in the first post are like.. I don't even know what to say.. there's just so much wrong about them that it should be obvious to anyone that they're really bad fakes lolAttached Files

I decided to take one of the Rubycon capacitors out of a phat Xbox 360 with a Zephyr motherboard and noticed that all the Rubycon capacitors near the CPU were fake. The capacitors in question are Rubycon MFZ 680uf 6.3V and they all have a bullseye bottom, something not found in genuine Rubycon capacitors. None of them were leaking, they all have the K top, and the system has never been opened before. It appears Microsoft was using fake capacitors in the Xbox 360, or the Chinese facility where the console was manufactured in was using them and passing them off a genuine. Just thought I'd share... -

Hy guys, i have this lenovo TB-X605F with charging problem, the tablet is fake charging, i have replaced the charging connector twice, it only draws 0.40 Amps when pluging the cable for the first time then it stops drawing any Amps but the tablet keeps showing the charging image at 0% as long as i keep it connected. I have no voltage at the battery connector with the cable pluged, but i have 5 volts after usb connector on some testing points on the board.
