    So how many manufacturer's actually make solid Polymer Caps???

    I got a pair of proprietary Compaq VRMs from 1997, with each having a set of three bright orange sleeved solid polymer caps on them, with the "marcon" name on them.. Doing a quick google search revealed that United Chemicon acquired Marcon in april of 1995. So now we have

    Sanyo
    Nippon Chemicon (parent of United Chemicon)
    United Chemicon
    Marcon (as noted above, acquired by UCC in 1995)


    So, does anybody else make solid polymer caps??

          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.

          XPS 9520 not powering up. Solid orange led
          by Weelcup
          Hi friends

          I have a dell XPS 9530 which had some liquid damage to the usb area. I replaced both the usbc iCs and not I can see 20v on the meter. But it does nothing and the 20v is not passing to charge the battery or turning on the board either.

          I suspected the PD controller (usbc controller) but it will need to be flashed if I decide to replace it. I thought that if the usbc controller needs flashing then at least the board should turn on on the battery. I charged the battery externally and attached it to the laptop. Now the 11.8v is actually passed to the board I can...

          Insignia NS-LCD019-09 issue: Power light turns blue for 3 seconds, the flashes red before going solid read again
          by cajoeg
          Hello, I'm new to the group and to trying to repair a LCD TV. During the past few years, I've been collecting/repairing/restoring vintage personal computers (Commodore, Apple II, Atari, TRS-80, Texas Instruments, and Timex Sinclair). This has been my retirement hobby. Now I've gotten interested in trying to repair a LCD TV that I have and used regularly when working on vintage computers.

          The LCD I'm working on is a Insignia NS-LCD019. I've downloaded the service manual that I could find, but it must be a different revision since not too many items in the service manual match the TV...

          solid polymer electrolytic capacitor go boom?
          by eccerr0r
          Anyone had a solid polymer capacitor fail for whatever reason?

          How do they fail? Do they explode, go open, short out, ?

          How about for different reasons: forcing excessive ripple current, overheating, voltage too high, reverse voltage?

          Just wondering about the causes for a potential shorted solid polymer capacitor... trying to debug a board that has a ~4Ω "short" on a track... it may or may not be a capacitor but was wondering what if it were...
