    1500µF = 2200µF

    Hey Guys.

    I've just found a VP6 motherboard with a cap problem at a really nice price. Now i am just searching for some caps to replace the bad ones with.

    A few questions relating that.

    The 1500uF caps are pretty rare, can't they be replaced by 2200uF caps?
    It might stress the regulators a bit more, but they should operate just fine with the larger charge capacity...

    How critical are the specifications for the caps. Will rather cheap 105 degrees caps do the trick? Or must it be ultra low ESR cost-me-a-fortune caps? Any expiriences?

    Best regards

      I have recapped MANY VP6's with 2200uF caps, and have had no negative results or problems from doing it. See my thread on overclocking differences between them HERE

      Good Luck!

          Quality

          Thanks... That helped a lot, 2200uF's are easier to find.

          How about cap quality... Does it matter a lot if the quality are good?

          Best regards

              use only high quality low esr caps from panasonic,nichicon,rubycon,sanyo,ect.
              btw i use all 2200uf in every vp6 i recap and never a comeback after 50+recaps on these.

                  Ok...

                  I've just located some Sanyo MV-WX Low Impedance miniature caps.
                  They should do the trick. And aren't all that expensive anyway.

                  Thanks for the help guys..

                      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."
                      ...

                      EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP 256MD2 [256-A8-N542-T2] with bad caps - fixed
                      by momaka
                      I did it again – I had to fulfill my inner desire to fix yet another old piece of hardware. This one is actually kind of worthwhile, too – it’s an EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP video card, model P/N: 256-A8-N542-T2. With the popularity of “retro” PCs from the Win9x to XP era going up, and the diminishing supply of decent AGP cards, it is expected their prices will go up. Or is it? I bought the this video card rather on the cheap side (~$9 USD shipped to my door), because the eBay seller listed it for parts or repair (and correctly noted the bad capacitors.)

                      So, here is the...

                      Replacement caps for Samson Resolv studio monitor 65A Amp board.
                      by black6host
                      Good day!

                      I have a Samson Resolv studio monitor that has no sound output. I've opened it up and found two caps that are bulging on what I believe to be the power supply section of the amplifier board. The board is marked Resolv 65A AMP V1.2. The caps in question are YUSCON, 2200uF, 35V, 85C temp and have markings of RA(P) and are 16mm x 25.5mm tall. I've attached the schematic and the caps in question are C5 and C6. I'm assuming they are low esr caps. I've tested both caps and they test low uF, nowhere near 2200uF.

                      I'm going to replace the caps and I'll be the first...

                      Replacement for the Siemens Bakelite caps in an early 1980s SMPS
                      by rewease
                      Hi everyone,

                      There actually was a time when early SMPS and late bakelite housed electrolytic caps coexisted in high end industrial gear. A friend of mine just got himself a CNC milling machine form that time with its first set of now 41 year old caps still installed in the PSU... and it's malfunctioning.

                      Two of the caps have already leaked slightly onto the board. I have not desoldered or measured any so far but they should qualify for replacement.

                      Now I'm wondering what to put in there as a replacement. First idea was state of the art low-ESR Nippon KY,...

                      Can't find exact matching caps for replacements, what should I get to prevent video issues?
                      by SluggerB
                      I have an old Tivo. The Power Supplies are known to have caps that fail. Here are the caps that come with the original power supply:



                      I could not find replacement caps with the exact same specs. I followed an online guide and recapped the power supply with caps with these specs



                      The power supply now works, however the HDMI video is giving me eye strain. I don't know how a capacitor on a Power supply could impact an HDMI video signal, but it does, the Tivo interface has a flicker now and the color/brightness is off. So I want to get some new caps...
