Hi folks!
First, thanks to the nice, name-brand caps I ordered from here, I now have a working, 52" Samsung LCD TV
But- the computer tech in me was curious about the 'competition.' On Ebay, there are several sellers of capacitor repair kits for this TV I have, so I ordered one such kit for comparison. The one I chose advertises this:
"We only use high quality capacitors manufactured by Panasonic, Nichicon and Rubycon in our kits. We do not use CapXon capacitors."
They also include a tiny bit of solder, some wick and some cotton swabs. They sent me 12 capacitors- was missing 1, so off to a bad start. Three different caps- the smallest were nichicons. However, the other two were...well- that is my question here. The larger one, besides the capacitance/voltage rating, only had "3919ME" on it. The other one only had the letter "M" inside a square, with some odd numbers by the capacitance/voltage rating: 16ivFV
So- before I call this Ebay Seller a liar, can someone tell me who makes these two caps? And if they are any good?
Picture is attached of both caps in question, with both sides of the second cap mentioned above shown, though one side is hard to read.
