    Capacitor compatibility - noob

    I recently had my LG L204WT monitor fail on my, and it's clear that at the very least some of the capacitors are bad (bulging/bloated). So now I need to find some replacement ones, which is where I'm having problems.


    This is what it listed on the side of the capacitors {they are all Samxon GF(M) 105°C8}:
    V7A 1000uF 16v
    V8A 1000uF 16v
    V5A 1000uF 25v
    V8A 680uF 25v (Two of these)

    I've tried searching for these, but haven't come up with any specific details, as to what it directly compatible. I have seen quite a few full kits, specifically for this monitor, but they list the V7A and V8A, as the same. I say they list them as the same, only because they specify a difference between the 25v and 16v ones, where it includes two 16v ones. Seeing as the part number is clearly different, I'm assuming they should in fact not be the same if I purchased new.

    Via a Sticky on here, I found the technical info on the Samxon GF series of capacitors (Here), but it's way over my head. I suppose what I'm really wondering is if anyone has any specific experience with this brand and series or capacitors, and could point me in the right direction, to find replacements. Even a company name and series, would be very helpful.

    Re: Capacitor compatibility - noob

    Try digikey look for panasonic FR FM FC series (best to worse )

    Or try badcaps.net
    https://www.badcaps.net/pages.php?vid=26

    You will need to be careful on the physical size

      Ok, so I just have to match up the uF, volts, size, and shape? Then just pick the brand and series, and that's it?

      Thank you very much for the response.

        Almost - you must get low esr caps from a reliable seller. Panasonic FR FM FC from digikey.

        Badcaps.net only sells low esr caps. so guess its safe to say any he has with the
        correct voltage uf and size will be good.

        You can also go smaller in size with the same V and uf (Some newer caps are smaller)

          Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

          Title:
          Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

          Description:
          During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
          I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.

          Procedure performed:
          - Removed backplate
          - Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
          - Reapplied thermal compound
          - Reassembled card

          Observed behavior after reassembly:
          - GPU powers on and operates normally under...

          RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
          by Prolog
          Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

          I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

          I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
          (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

          I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

          Dick Smith Q-1760 linear power supply filter capacitor question
          by Agent24
          I have acquired a used Dick Smith Q-1760 power supply - although the OEM is Manson Industrial
          It has at least one problem.

          The voltage control potentiometer VR2, 50K is faulty - going high resistance / open circuit in the CCW end and leading to the output voltage jumping around.
          I have already ordered a replacement potentiometer, so that's not an issue.

          Now, I want to replace all three electrolytics on the PCB as they are CapXon and I don't trust them so much, I will replace them with something better while I've got the thing apart anyway.
          All are CapXon...

          If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
          by chth96
          I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
          Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
          It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
          So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
          I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...

          How can I test non-polarized capacitor?
          by chth96
          I desoldered samwha NF capacitor(50v 5.6uf) from PCB circuit of 29inch CRT TV which have symptoms of no display after I heard sound of inrush of current to TV whenever I switch on this television.
          I measured ESR value of this non-polarized capacitor(samwha NF capacitor 50v 5.6uf) by means of MESR-100 ESR meter and It displayed 0.3 ohm

          And When I measured its capacitance with digital multimeter and LCR-T4 Mega328 meter, It displayed 10uf from DMM and 8uf from LCR-T4 meter.
          I found catalogue of samwha capacitor(samwha-catalogue_3.pdf file), which is attached to this thread,...
