    Re: Ltec Caps

    I truly don't belong on this forum because I don't have the knowledge of the typical member, but I had to register so I could post to this.
    So my PSU failed and I replaced it. It was a 430W Antec Earthwatts. It's powered two computers and has pretty much been on continuously for twelve years (bought in 2008). I tore it apart to see what was inside and I found a large Aishi, a couple of Rubycons, CapXon, nichicon, Taicon and Ltec. Googling Ltec is what got me here. I don't know what failed. None of the caps were bulging or leaking. Anyway, I'm impressed with the life I got out of that thing. Cheap or not, those components held up.

        Welcome to Badcaps
        If you want to give it a try to repair it then here are two good threads to get you started:
        https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=65425

        Otherwise yea, that PSU has had a good run, sometimes even low tier caps can last a long time!
        Other times it takes just a year, it's all down to luck really

            In a AcBel 12V 3,33A PSU it blow away the electrolytic capacitors in output - 2 pcs 1000uF 16V Ltec. I replaced it with 2x low ESR Panasonic 1000uF 25V and it works well again

                Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                by eryjus
                Hello,

                First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                ...

                Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                by Paxman_Swede
                Hello!

                I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                I have studied the board and...

                Help with switching power supply caps
                by captain150
                I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

                Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
                by Foetuss
                Good evening

                I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...

                Replacing electrolytic caps by solid caps on old motherboards
                by madscientist750
                I do have several old pc motherboards which i recapped 10 year ago and some of those caps are bulged now.
                I would like to upgrade them using solid capacitors. I do use them for testing and helping some alternative operating systems.
                I would like to ask if such an upgrade can be done, what should i have in mind when replacing electrolytic by solid caps and if such thing exist, if there are caps list for old motherboards. I would have to figure out what caps needs each motherboard and then prepare a list to try to ask for them on some electronics stores.
