Replacing Capxon capacitors

[Primo.uk]

Hi I am trying to part rebuild my powerboard from my Tevion 47inch LCD Tv, however I am not sure about the physical size of the Capxon capacitors that I am replacing. Some are coded C708 or 706 is this a code for the physical size of the capacitor? I can not find any info on these codes.

Many thanks in advance for any help

I find that the best way to measure the physical size is with a ruler .

But as long as the replacements will fit there's no particular need to size them precisely.

That's the datecode on CrapXons. Your examples are from week 06 and 08, 2007 (format is C YWW).
A ruler is the easiest way to determine the size. Personally I've recapped so many devices that I can usually tell the diameter and height just by looking at them lol.
Common diameters are 8mm (roughly the same as a pencil), 10mm and 12.5mm. Larger diameters are relatively uncommon for most consumer electronics.

Mind the height though. It sucks to do a successful recap and then find out you can't put the thing back together cause the new caps are too tall. Been there, done that..

Thanks Scenic
I feel more confident in tackling the task ahead.
