    Capacitor Values?

    I have a vp6, I wanted to replace capacitors that have 1000UF and 1500UF raings. My question, what is the point of installing capacitors with higher UF values?

    There are no big gains. I would stay with the original values. For some pointers should you decide to change, take a look at this thread....

      Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

      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...

      Nvidia GTS 250M Laptop graphics - Inductor and Capacitor values
      by rashidjafar
      I am looking for capacitor & Inductor values for my TOSHIBA Qosmio X500-110 - mobile graphics - Nvidia GTS 250M Laptop.

      Values for :-
      =========
      PC43 : Capacitor [3x1.5mm]
      PL7 : Inductor [2x1mm]
      PC39 : Capacitor [1x0.5mm]

      Any ideas would be appreciated.




      I can get Capacitor values from nearby components but wanted to know the max ratings also I dont have equipment to measure inductors....

      Capacitor values in boardview
      by mrkmpn
      I am trying to determine the value of a blown capacitor, and the boadview shows the values for many of the capacitors and other components on this board, but all of the information blank on others.

      Is there any relevance to the fact that some of these values are left out, or is it just inconsistency by whoever created the boardviews?

      Is there any way to deteremine if one without infrormation matches one that shows those details?

      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,...
