    What capacitor should I purchase for Power Supply of obsolete game consoles?

    hello.

    I have Sega Saturn and 5 years ago, I recapped all of capacitor in the Power supply, Because At that time, It frequently freezed black screen after SEGA logo displayed.

    It hardly ever freezed after I finished to recap all of caps in the power supply.

    But Yesterday, It did not show any screen at all and its green power LED constantly blinked.

    To my surprise I found that all of two NXH 10v 2200uf capacitors in the secondary area of Power supply have been bulged and It measured 57 mF and 75 mF capacitance.

    It seems that quality of samyoung NXH series is not as good as their advertise.

    So I want to recap these two 10v 2200uf capacitor with high quality japanese capacitor.



    What capacitor and partnumber should I purchase for Power Supply of obsolete game consoles(Sega saturn)?

    It seems that "EKY-160ELL222MK201" is decent price and has high ripple current specification.

    Is "EKY-160ELL222MK201" suitable to Power supply of Sega saturn?

      panasonic FR is what i use.
      whatever company you choose, they must be LOW-ESR type
      like if you use Rubycon then it would be ZLx series

        panasonic FR is rare and very expensive in my area...But Is it OKAY to choose 16ZLH2200MEFC12.5X20 for Power supply of Sega saturn?

            Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
            by sam_sam_sam
            I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

            One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

            Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
            by sam_sam_sam
            I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

            I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

            Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
            by Tynan Dill
            I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

            Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

            I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

            The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

            With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

            Assuming...

            Game Gear Power Supply 2110K No Output Voltage for 1 pin
            by AhhAhhAhh
            Hi all,

            I'm working on reviving a Game Gear Power Supply that has some issues with the voltage output for one of the pins. The power supply should provide the correct voltages for each pin (please see attached photo) and I could not get 34V for the last pin. In fact, I got like 0.4 to 0 volts when measured with a multimeter when it powers on.

            What I did so far was to change the 3 electrolytic capacitors and have also tested using an ESR meter and all 3 capacitors are fine. Next I checkED for any shorts and I discovered that both solder joints (+) and (-) for one capacitor...

            Hi, Can we use SMPS Bench Power Supply for Laptop troubleshooting?
            by shamsudeen
            Hi all, I just need to know that, can i use SMPS type power supply to test and short circuit detection on a laptop motherboard?
            I saw 95% of repair guys are using only Linear bench power supply. linear bench power supply is pricy, thats why i planned to get one SMPS supply.

            i know that in linear power supply the noise will be very low comparing to SMPS supply....
