    Poly Film Capacitor Bad?

    Rescued an off brand 42" LCD tv from a local landfill today. Going through power supply and found an open fuse and a couple bulging caps. Tv does not power on at all, no light, nothing. Only thing possibly fishy is a closed 400v polyester foil capacitor. I am very inexperienced so can someone with knowledge tell me if these types of capacitors would normally appear shorted? If it is a problem what else should I check? Thanks

    Also found these two resistors both look fully closed, does anyone wanna chime in on the value for these?

      There is no need to start multiple threads with the same question - let this one die and use the main one.
      Resistor values - why not look them up yourself?
      Type hobby hour resistor into your search engine.
      Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

          Those are 0.39 ohm resistors plus or minus 5%. To get an accurate reading you should de-solder one lead on each resistor before checking. Can't help you with the cap

            Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition
            by MORETTIGIAN
            Title:
            Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

            Description:
            During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
            I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.

            Procedure performed:
            - Removed backplate
            - Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
            - Reapplied thermal compound
            - Reassembled card

            Observed behavior after reassembly:
            - GPU powers on and operates normally under...

            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...

            Dick Smith Q-1760 linear power supply filter capacitor question
            by Agent24
            I have acquired a used Dick Smith Q-1760 power supply - although the OEM is Manson Industrial
            It has at least one problem.

            The voltage control potentiometer VR2, 50K is faulty - going high resistance / open circuit in the CCW end and leading to the output voltage jumping around.
            I have already ordered a replacement potentiometer, so that's not an issue.

            Now, I want to replace all three electrolytics on the PCB as they are CapXon and I don't trust them so much, I will replace them with something better while I've got the thing apart anyway.
            All are CapXon...

            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...

            How can I test non-polarized capacitor?
            by chth96
            I desoldered samwha NF capacitor(50v 5.6uf) from PCB circuit of 29inch CRT TV which have symptoms of no display after I heard sound of inrush of current to TV whenever I switch on this television.
            I measured ESR value of this non-polarized capacitor(samwha NF capacitor 50v 5.6uf) by means of MESR-100 ESR meter and It displayed 0.3 ohm

            And When I measured its capacitance with digital multimeter and LCR-T4 Mega328 meter, It displayed 10uf from DMM and 8uf from LCR-T4 meter.
            I found catalogue of samwha capacitor(samwha-catalogue_3.pdf file), which is attached to this thread,...
