        My high school had a shitload of those Samsung Syncmaster 906BW monitors. I don't think they are worth the cost of replacement caps. I would have liked to see them all start dying, but I graduated before that happened. There would be dark streaks to the right of any objects being displayed, but none completely died.

          Hmm, other than one measly, hardly noticeable dead pixel, this one's been rock solid/razor sharp for better than four years now (well aside from the caps). Never had any ghosting issues ever. Wow, many variables to consider. Non-owner users (students), possible lower end video, bulk lots vs. retail? I bought mine as a floor model, DVI, always leave the lamp powered on for at least an hour before turning it off, etc. Maybe I got lucky? Wait, I'm glad I got lucky, I never get lucky!

          Well if they are getting rid of them, send some my way!!!!

            I've pulled several dead CapXons from monitors... pretty damn useless brand in my opinion.

              Just recapped a couple of Bestec power supplies. One had CapXon caps and the other had Jamicon caps. As a comparison of esr:

              2200 uF/16 volts Jamicon was .04, Capxon was .01

              two of each 1000 uF/16 volts Jamicon was .09, Capxon was .03

              Most of the small caps 22 uF and less, Capxon was just a little less than Jamicon on most of them.

              Capxon versus Jamicon...........Capxon wins!

                Doesn't Jamicon only do GP caps though?

                  d#$m, my vieusonic lcd tv is full of the crapxons. and the tv don't work. I'm going to replace the 2 that are blotted on my power supply, hopefully just these 2 are the reason

                    Re: Capxon Capacitors?

                    No, ALL of them are the reason, because CapXon are junk.

                    Replace ALL of them, or the TV will just fail in another 5 minutes and you'll have to replace more. You won't save much money by only replacing 2 of them now - and you'll waste more of your time when the rest die.

                    Just replace the lot now and you won't have to worry about it again.

                      But, LCD monitors seem to get hot inside and they usually don't at least have a tiny fan, so even Rubycons could get fried lol.

                        Re: Capxon Capacitors?

                        Hello guys,

                        this is my first time on this forum, quite useful!

                        I'm trying to repair the dvd reader Sharp dv-sv92: it cannot be switched on. I detected the problem in the stdby switching TNY267PN. I replaced it, all ok, but during the functioning I touched the top of the capXon cap (4,7uF400V) and it was red-hot! It seems to be very week!

                        Now, there is another cap with the same characteristics and both are part of the power supply section of the dvd reader. Do you suggest to replace even the other cap? Which cap brand can I use for this application?

                        Thank you very much,

                        BR, Francesco

                          If that capacitor was really red hot, the problem is most likely somewhere else - probably there's a short or too much voltage through that capacitor that shorts or kills the small capacitor.

                          Simply replacing the capacitor may not solve the issue.

                          Create a separate thread with your issue and post pictures there - someone may be able to give you more advice based on the position of the capacitor and the components around it.

                            If the capacitor's ESR has increased then it will heat up more, so it may be a faulty capacitor, or they picked one with ESR too high for that circuit in the first place.

                            Or they picked one which couldn't handle the ripple in the first place.

                            And\Or it's being heated up by something else nearby

                                            After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)

                                            Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
                                            power on.

                                            Here are some examples :

                                            (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
                                            switching supply area).
                                            (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
                                            than 6.3 V.)

                                            1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
                                            I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.

                                            AA and AAA battery charger capacitors?
                                            by slybunda
                                            hey all, iv got my favourite battery charger here which iv had for many years probably 15 years now or maybe even more. it still works good but thought id open it up to clean the dust out of it, lots of dust inside but now its clean and noticed 4 capacitors inside it and wondered if i should replace them.
                                            it has inside:
                                            2 x 47uf 16v caps 105c branded as Su'scon (lol sounds sus to me)
                                            2 x 470uf 16v LZ105c branded as G.Luxon

                                            not heard of these brands are they any good?

                                            iv attached photos of the charger and the board inside for an idea on the type of...

                                            Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
                                            by sam_sam_sam
                                            I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

                                            This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

                                            Are there any datasheets available for Elna RJG capacitors?
                                            by Ady2017
                                            I have a 2007-era Panasonic VHS combo that is full of of Elna RJG capacitors. I am trying to test the capacitors to diagnose the machine and then select replacement capacitors but I can not find any datasheets for them. I did find a Elna catalogue from 2007-2008 but there is no mention of this capacitor series. Where these specially made for Panasonic and so not made available to the public? Any ideas what to find out what the ESR values should be without the datasheets? They are all between 10V and 50V and 47uF and 1800uF. None are leaking or bulged but I know that they need to be tested to be...

                                            Samsung UN70tu7000wxza no standby light, do I have bad capacitors?
                                            by ctroxtell
                                            I picked up a 70" Samsung UN70TU7000WXZA. The original owner said they were watching it when the power surged and knocked it out. I pulled the back off the TV and disconnected the main board from the power board, and the LED backlight came on, which I was told meant the power board was good. When everything is plugged in the standby light will not come on, looking at the main board BN94-17775A with a thermal imaging gun I can see one of the chips labeled 3202 is 251 degrees F just sitting idle. I found a replacement board, BN94-16115X; this board has the same symptoms, except it is a different...
