    any guide for polymer caps mod?

    hello there. I am really interest to do a poly mod on my motherboard since it has a 2-3 crap OST caps and KZG those are not really good from this forum member experience.

    I have try to read some thread but confused because somebody said we must decrease half capacitance for poly mod from electrolytics. but somebody said that is not right rule. So i will appreciated someone could lead me the right way or maybe give me some site about poly mod guide?

    Best Regards
    Rudi
    Thank You

      Dell Optiplex GX260 - Advice Needed for Polymodding Motherboard
      by SwedishDiesel
      Howdy folks,

      I have an Optiplex GX260 that blew a couple of those troublesome Nichicon HM series (ultra low ESR) electrolytic capacitors. Because said caps are obsolete, they are pretty much impossible to find on the market; I did find a listing for some but I believe they are counterfeit. I feel the easiest thing to do would be to replace all the blown caps with polymer ones. I am by no means an expert in electronics, and I've found a fair bit of conflicting information, so any guidance or confirmation would be greatly appreciated. While from a practical standpoint it's not worth...

      Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
      by eryjus
      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."

      Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
      by Paxman_Swede
      Hello!

      I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

      The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

      I have studied the board and...

      Japanese 3DO with leaking caps - (nearly) full poly replacement
      by Blag
      Hi all, I've got a 1994 Japanese Panasonic 3DO with 2 leaking caps. Since all the caps are now 25 years old I decided to swap them all before more of them start to leak.
      To reduce the danger of another leakage in the future I decided to swap every possible cap with a poly cap.
      Has anyone here done that already and give me some hints?

      I found a "fitting" (voltage, uF and measurements) poly cap for all but 3 caps. The largest cap is a 6800 uF 25v cap, since there aren't any 6800er polys I'll get a high quality electrolyte one with a higher temp rating. The...

      Help with switching power supply caps
      by captain150
      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,...
