Re: Blown Cap
Those are not cheap caps. They are Japanese Nippon Chemi-con caps, which should be reliable. I'd say there's something else going on there which caused the failure.I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

Re: Blown Cap
Ok maybe it was just an assumption they were bad caps since they were cheap. Everything worked fine and as we were watching it we heard a loud pop and a lot of smoke. Any suggestion what else could have caused it?Comment

Re: Blown Cap
They were new caps I just put in after replacing a bad buffer board.Comment

Where did you buy them?Comment

Re: Blown Cap
check polarity or maybe take some pic below on bungs or wat..Comment

Re: Blown Cap
Ebay. And polarity was correct, set worked for probably 20-30 hours before it happened.Comment

Re: Blown Cap
That what I was thinking. I ordered new ones from Digi-key. I will pull these and investigate more.Comment

Greetings friends.
I was given this nice little laptop and would like to revive it if possible but i'm stuck identifying blown components. I'm very new to the repair game so i'm proceeding very cautiously.
I don't know the history of this laptop and the donator didn't elaborate what happened but it seems some moisture got into the USB C charge port and the result was what looks like some blown caps. The tell is some gunk inside the USB C port and corrosion on the outside as well as what looks like corrosion around the blown components.
Any guidance... -
Hey guys, bit stumped with this laptop after replacing 2 blown components i.e., MP86493, MP2979A.
To begin with, this laptop was dead-dead.
Now with replaced (visibly) blown components, i do get some progress; after connecting battery or main cable;- am getting white power led
- 5-long-flashes on CAPS Lock and NUM lock
- then, fan full speed
- CPU heats up some (smaller die PCH, does not)
- always constant black screen no matter what's tried
- no USB recognition
- no HDMI output
I tried... -
Hello,
First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.
I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.
I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."

Hey
I got a short on 3 pins of the PCI-E gold connector for 12V.
I see a few caps near the top right (near main power connector) that look blown, one is showing a short across it to GND.
Unforunately I don't have a schematic or board view for it (EVGA GTX 1070 FTW 8GB).
Due to the large number of caps there, I think it may just be decoupling.
Any ideas on figuring out the cap values? There also isn't any reference numbers for the caps on the silkscreen. -
I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...
