    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?
