Good to have found this site so thanks for making it anyway. I got a Gigabyte GA-7DXR that has 10 bad caps on it. I Found your site while looking for a place to buy this things and well honestly the sites are confusing for me. I can replace the things quite easily but im having a hard time finding the ones i need. The 10 that are bad are a 1200UF 6.3v caps. If anyone is familar with this MoBo they are the green ones that are right around the ECU. The black ones rated at 25v are not leaking or bubbling they still look brand new. So a favor to ask someone.... please help me find the caps i need. I want a good brand by the way. I need my comp up an running ASAP. There is to much info that can not afford to be lost. Thanks for anyone that helps me.

Re: I got bad CAPS!
Replace all caps of the same make
Topcat (owner of this site) can sell you caps
Or if you are not in the US you can ask Big Pope on these forums, he can sell you Samxon caps"The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it." -

Re: I got bad CAPS!
Normally you will need to replace all caps above 470uF of the same manufacturer
Unless the fault was for a very specific reason and you can be confident the other caps will not fail...
What type of caps are on the board? Do you have pictures. It really helps in making informed advice... Also note that your power supply could have bad caps!"The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it."Comment

Re: I got bad CAPS!
Wow power supply huh well i guess i will need to get a list together of all the caps on my board and also open up my power supply. The caps are some funky manf.. like Choyo i think. And if i was at home and had my comp up and running i would have pics but since i have only one computer no pics sorry. I will see if i cant get a pic of the board and post it. At least so i can show you guys which caps have gone bad.Comment

Re: I got bad CAPS!
No bad caps in PSU. So just on the board all the other caps on the board are 440uf or below.Comment

I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

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."

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... -
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,... -
Good evening
I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?
But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
