      That looks like a cheap/old nvidia video card.

      I don't think it's worth using polymer capacitors on such a card, they're too expensive for this purpose.
      The capacitors used on the card weren't polymer capacitors in the first place.

      I would use Panasonic FM or FR capacitors, but I'd probably go with 10v or 16v rated capacitors instead of 6.3v, the price wouldn't be much higher.

          I am going to us it to test dvi input on repaired monitors
          thanks for your advice will use Panasonic FM or FR capacitors, 10v or 16v

              jl?
              everyone knows fz are junk so lets call em jl?
              yes you could measure voltages and use polys but its a waste on a test card.as stated above fm/fr just fine.

                      Panasonic TC-P55ST50 8 blinks then no blinks
                      by Andre Gilbert
                      Hello! yes I know there is already lots of information about this issue. I have a Panasonic TC-P55ST50 that originally displayed an 8-blink error code. Following the troubleshooting flowchart, I ended up replacing the SS board. However, even after replacing it, the issue persists. The TV turns on and stays on without displaying an image, and continuity is confirmed on all connectors. What am I missing hereπŸ€”?
                      Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting πŸ˜‚.

                      Problem with PANASONIC CF53 laptop after changing BIOS settings
                      by AquaMan Ua
                      Hello. I am asking you for a hint on how to solve the problem with my touchbook Panasonic CF53-2 standart model. After setting up the BIOS, the laptop displays the wrong image until Windows loads. (More precisely, it displays, but distorted, instead of the Panasonic image immediately after turning it on, it displays what is in photo #1 in the attached file) Then the image appears when Windows starts loading and then there are no problems with the screen until the reboot. If you enter the BIOS, just a black screen. If you connect an external screen, the image on it is the same as on the built-in...

                      Recapping Sony ICF-SW55 - verifying cap values
                      by proxneo
                      Dear reader

                      I am performing a repair on a Sony ICF-SW55, which includes recapping (some) of the SMD capacitors on the mainboard. I am looking for verification of their values. At the moment, I'm 95% sure I've got the right values, but it is hard to find some official, credible or multiple independant sources on this.

                      At the moment, I have selected replacements based on the following list of values:

                      3 x 470uF 10VDC
                      3 x 4.7uF 35VDC
                      4 x 47uF 50VDC
                      8 x 22uF 6.3 VDC
                      1 x 220uF 6.3VDC
                      5 x 100uF 6.3VDC

                      Which...

                      Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
                      by momaka
                      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:

                      Hi everyone!
                      I happened several times, in the search for help from the web, to consult this very interesting forum.
                      So I decided to sign up and I intend to participate actively by making available my knowledge and experience on the subject, I'm a new user but at the same time I'm old in the sense that I have 4 decades of experience in repairing and designing electronics but above all I'm a great passionate about the subject.

                      Having said that I come to the gist of my post on the forum as the title suggests.
                      For my passion for technology I'm now collecting several...
