Re: Capxon Capacitors?
I have a bunch in my FSP271 power supply in my Olevia TV that just failed.
I found 9 bulged ones and I'll try the rat shack tomorrow for the caps.
Found a new power supply on fleabay for $250 + $99 shipping.
2007 is the mfg date.Comment

Re: Capxon Capacitors?
Forget radioshack, they don't have quality low esr capacitors.
Use this site or go to digikey.com/mouser.com/newark.com if you want the repairs to last a long time.Comment

Re: Capxon Capacitors?
No rat shack?? Looks like they use NTE caps.
I know about digi key & newark. I'll have to wait a week to get those.
How about the cap repair kits on Amazon for $20 bucks?Last edited by D.T.; 11-30-2013, 07:47 PM.Comment

Re: Capxon Capacitors?
If you can be sure they come from a reputable seller and are not fake or a crap brand etc then I'm sure they would be fine. But you might have to do a lot of research to find out for sure.
Personally I buy only from the big electronics suppliers where I know I'm getting the real deal.
Since you're in USA you might be well off just buying from Badcaps.net itself."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Re: Capxon Capacitors?
I've discovered 5 bad Capxons in a power supply for an ISDN Gateway (Quintum Tenor DX series). There's one larger 400v 100uF that looks ok, but the low voltage ones are all dead.

Re: Capxon Capacitors?
I just replaced a capxon in a power supply.
Had an interesting time diagnosing the problem. The mboard LED would light but the computer wouldn't power up. At first I thought the mboard or something connected to it was fried but when I swapped out the mboard it did the same thing. I then decided to test the voltages on the pwrsupply atx connector. All the pins tested properly except the purple 5v standby pin which was only showing 4v. I took the cover off and sure enough one capacitor had blown it's top. Funny thing about it, that cap that blown was the only capxon in the pwrsupply.
I replaced the cap, retested the pwr supply and put it all back together. All is good...

Re: Capxon Capacitors?
Nice. Pretty lame though that the only CapXon in there was in the most critical application. Planned obsolescence!Comment

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.
3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA... -
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... -
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
After all of... -
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... -
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...
