    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??

          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...

          how do u use solid rosin flux?
          by ChaosLegionnaire
          i recently bought a block of solid rosin flux from aliexpress. i intend to use it for reflowing cold solder joints and cracked solder joints. but im not sure how im supposed to be using it? do i just break off bits and pieces of it with a knife and put the bits of solid rosin on the bad joint im soldering then bring on the iron?

          i tried asking google and they pointed me to a headphone forum and eevblog? and they said to just dip the soldering iron tip into the solid block. a small piece of flux will be attached to the soldering iron tip end and im supposed to use that to reflow...

          Sony KDL-55EX500 solid green screen
          by Nopy
          I have a Sony KDL-55EX500 which shows a solid green screen and I haven't been able to diagnose the problem. I was able to find a repair manual online and read a few forums on tv repair which pointed me towards it possibly being an issue with the power board or T-con board. Bad electrolytic capacitors seemed to be a common theme so I tried replacing all of the ones on on the power board, but that didn't fix it.

          My next step was disconnecting all of the cables and reconnecting them. That helped a bit, showing a normal screen most of the time, but still switches back to solid green...
