    Is this capacitor still good

    Application is on a flyback transformer powersupply circuit board cap is 85 deg temp. 330 uf 16 v cap brand is sm the esr is .10 ohms and the cap reading is 269.8 and tested with atlas 60 cap tester

    Re: Is this capacitor still good

    My opinion is that as most caps have a 20% variance on the stated rating that it is not good.
    Is there a problem with the Board?
    Is the board's application such that a 85 degree temp cap would be working at the top end of its temperature rating.?
    Was it in circuit when measured?
    Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

      all caps are polarized and out of circuit when measured I also have a 1uf 160v the meter reads 1.16uf and 3.6 for esr its not fully working im missing the -15 volts the screen displays a trace but there is no vertical difflection im currently desodering componets and testing them out of circuit. its sealed in a aluminum case so it must get quite warm in there. unit was made sometime in 1985

        Good brands of run capacitor for house heat hump
        by cook
        Are there good brands for 'run capacitors' or 'start capacitors' that are used on electric motors or heat pump compressors? ... r are the good capacitor brands for electronics (power supplies, laptops, motherboards, etc.) also the good brands for run capacitors?
        Yeah I know this might be a novice question, but I just wanted to be sure. I did do a search on the forum but did not see this question asked before.

        Thanks

        Troubleshooting PFC with SPC1012T not raising output
        by CoppellTVRepair
        It has been a long while since I posted here to ask anything....hope you can help.

        I have this Samsung power supply that uses SPC1012T as driver for the PFC and it's giving me a problem that I can't narrow down though I've troubleshooted and fixed hundreds of boards similar circuits.

        I am attaching a schematic from a different Samsung board, but the topography is very very similar if not 100% the same and it uses SPC1012T, which BTW is a pinout match to UCC28063 for which there's plenty of information. I haven't confirmed they are functional equivalents, but I strongly...

        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...

        Power supply filter capacitor measurement in circuit
        by Fritter
        Hi
        Measuring a 400v 330uf capacitor across the bridge rectifier and in circuit with a multimeter on ohms. Measures 360 ohms both ways when polarity on the meter is changed. If this is normal, I'd like a brief lesson
        Thanks

        Denon AVR 1908, High pitch noise on Surround back Left channel after long overhaul
        by karatzdi
        Hello,

        I know some might say... just buy another one. Sell it as parts..!

        So had this AMP for quite some time. Recently I saw light smoke coming out of the AMP. Had my fire extinguisher close by. Just kidding. Turned immediately all devices off from mains.
        Let things cool a bit, and opened up the amp device. I clearly saw on the main board which hosts the 5X amp (5.1), 3 10 ohms 1W resistors had their leads looking black, while the rest of the remaining 2 x 10 ohms were brownish as being installed from factory.

        Spent some time downloading the Service...
