Hi everyone, I'm in need of 6.3v, 1800uF, 8mm diameter caps for a Nettle2 motherboard. A few local stores are selling Panasonic caps with those values and that specific diameter. Problem is, I can't find any datasheet and/or solid info about Panasonic making 8mm caps with those values. Everything I've found starts at 10mm. Should I consider those caps as fakes, or there's something I'm missing? I just want to check if I have a local alternative before placing an international order (and have a battle with customs in the process). Thanks.

Re: Quick question about Panasonic caps
There is only one category of Panasonic caps which you'll find with that diameter at that value, and that's the ultra low-ESR Panasonic FJx/FLx series. If he carries those, chances are they may not be legit, but you can still source legitimate equivalents right here from the owner of this website:

They're Nichicon HN/HZ series, suitable for ultra low-ESR applications. Both of them are the same price, but the HZ series is a little better than the HN series. -
Re: Quick question about Panasonic caps
Seems like I'll be able to find some HZs locally after all ("locally" with some pepper on it, I have to travel for an hour and a half). And the Nettle2 is quite popular on the forum, everyone is pretty much having the same problem with those 8mm caps. I really hope I can bring this one back, I need a Win8 testing rig, and this little HP demon looks like a good candidate. Thanks for the answer.

I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

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."

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... -
I did it again – I had to fulfill my inner desire to fix yet another old piece of hardware. This one is actually kind of worthwhile, too – it’s an EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP video card, model P/N: 256-A8-N542-T2. With the popularity of “retro” PCs from the Win9x to XP era going up, and the diminishing supply of decent AGP cards, it is expected their prices will go up. Or is it? I bought the this video card rather on the cheap side (~$9 USD shipped to my door), because the eBay seller listed it for parts or repair (and correctly noted the bad capacitors.)
So, here is the... -
Good day!
I have a Samson Resolv studio monitor that has no sound output. I've opened it up and found two caps that are bulging on what I believe to be the power supply section of the amplifier board. The board is marked Resolv 65A AMP V1.2. The caps in question are YUSCON, 2200uF, 35V, 85C temp and have markings of RA(P) and are 16mm x 25.5mm tall. I've attached the schematic and the caps in question are C5 and C6. I'm assuming they are low esr caps. I've tested both caps and they test low uF, nowhere near 2200uF.
I'm going to replace the caps and I'll be the first...
