    Nichicon HM's or Rubycon ZLH's

    Hey everyone:

    I am planning to recap my Shuttle FG31 motherboard (picture) that has recently start to bulge. I picked up a bunch of Nichicon HN's from Newark and for the 8x 1000uf 6.3/10v 8mm cap listed on the replacement kit here I picked up some Rubycon ZLH's because they were in stock for that size and spec.

    I checked the ZLH's specs just now and found that it had almost twice the ESR as the HM's which have now come in stock (still not HN stock).

    Should I order the HM's or stick with the ZLH's? Any advice would be much appreciated.

      The ESR of a ZLH would be a bit high for motherboard use IMO. HN or HM would be fine.

          Thanks! I'll go ahead and order the HM's then.

              Upon further inspection, the original OST RLP's on the board have specs that are already worse than the ZLH's

              RLP, 0.11ohm,730mA
              ZLH, 0.045ohm, 1250mA
              HM, 0.018ohm, 1870mA.

              So it would seem that the ZLH's should be fine to use (unless the board designers totally spec'd the board wrong). Going to try to use a few of the ZLH's before my HM's come in and see if there are any issues. Wish me luck!

                  If the ZLHs are better than the original caps, they will be fine.
                  I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                      Recapped the whole board over the weekend with the HN's for the OST RLX's and ZLH's for the RLP's. Board is working great and holding an overclocking on my E7200 as well. Thanks for all your help everyone!

                          Looking for best replacements for Capxons, but can't find data sheets
                          by withalligators
                          Recapping the power supply board for a Samsung 305T monitor, everything is Capxon except 2 Rubycons. I can't find data sheets matching these online, so don't know what ripple numbers, impedence, etc, to look for. There are a few different looking GL series data sheet PDFs, but the listing that matches the capacitance and voltage is a much bigger case size. I've narrowed down selections with lead spacing and case diameter, and what's in stock at Digi-key

                          1 x Capxon 1000uf35v GL C720(is this a part number or batch number, can't find it anywhere) 105c

                          Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

                          Capacitor Diarrhea - Nichicon PL Series
                          by DrewPhillips
                          Hello All, I have on the bench a couple of PSU's which have some failed Nichicon PL series caps. They didn't "puke" their guts through the top, but instead "diarrhea'ed" corrosive brown electrolyte through the bottom, down the legs and onto the board. On one cap, the electrolyte rotted the cap right off the board leaving 2 little stubs, and also corroded a trace on the foil side.

                          The PSU's are Power-One MAP series and are ringing-choke topology. The semiconductors have date codes in 1993. The PSU's were used in a commercial application, fan-cooled. They had failed...

                          Need real mobo dump of BIOS v402 for ASUS PRIME Z590-A - stock image no help
                          by DynaxSC
                          Hi,

                          I have a serious problem to program the Z590 chipset SRAM with a Management Engine after replacing the chipset.
                          The new chipset is factory new and is not containing any Management Engine. Any attempts to program it into the chipset under Windows ends with a failure (eg. Error 20: Management Engine Device not present, or something similar).
                          Due to the lack of the ME several ports on the board, including all M.2 ports aren't working, booting OS works only on USB. So it's now other way, as to program the chipset with a ME.

                          Usually on ASUS boards it worked...

                          Xbox 360 Xenon Modern Capacitor Replacements
                          by burom
                          I found my old Xbox 360 in storage and opened it up to see if there was anything that broke since it was built in 2006 (launch era Xenon revision, never red ringed, never been serviced) and didn't want to find out by releasing magic smoke. Upon moving the dust bunnies out of the way I was greeted by a bunch of capacitors with crud coming out of the top; it doesn't seem to have leaked onto the board so at least I have that going for me.

                          I'm posting here because I want to try to source replacement caps myself from Mouser or Digikey instead of braving eBay or waiting for places to have...
