    Re: Capxon Capacitors?

    I repaired an Acer AL1916W by replacing C200, a failed 220uF CapXon.
    They must be on the bad list.

    Re: Capxon Capacitors?

    I reconditioned the powersupply in my Thompson Sky HD satellite received at the weekend. These boxes are well known to have poor power supplies.
    All the capacitors were capxon and I replaced all 15 of them. Two were so bad the ESR meter thought they were still in circuit. One other had a poor ESR and one had a poor ESR and a cap readong of almost half what it should have.

    yes, there is doubt, because (same as willa said) i think they're acutally older than samxon...

    >What do you guys think of Capxon capacitors or as I call them Crapxon capacitors

    there are much better companies, and much worse(with more screwed up series ie overall bigger number of junk caps in the field)...

    stay away if you can do better.

    On the weekend I picked up an Viewsonic 17" LCD monitor cheap which I've fixed already. Replaced a couple of Capxon's that had a bit of crusty brown residue on top. Monitor was a little short of four years old. Not a bad little unit, the base needs some weights.

    CrapXon is a good name for these elctrolyitical turds.
    I replaced them on mother boards, power supplies and audio boards. They are garbage.
    My $2000 42 inch Samsung commercial grade monitor is filled with them. I just replaced a half dozen of them and they took out the motherboard for the MajicNet feature along with them. Lucky I have a spare board

    I've been known to put the iron in my mouth...
    .. but not just after holding it with my toes.

    Oh duh .

    I know the name condenser since I used to repair and read old tube radio service manuals where they referred to them as condensers.

    An even funnier thing I read in an old manual was something to the extent of.

    When you are soldering wires together and you need a third hand.

    They said to hold the wires together with one hand with the soldering iron in the other and to put the solder in your mouth and bring the solder into contact with the wires.

    Solder + Mouth = Bad

    CONdenser - The old name for caps. [Still used in some places I think.]

    Re: Capxon Capacitors?

    for me, i have found same failed capxon caps on several psus so i dont consider them as good caps.

    the blue capxon can fail with visible damage. the black one can fail without showing any sign of damage.

    i think they are ok in psu never seen them in anything else. i think they were before samxon though?

    nobody took issue with rubyCON nichiCON chemiCON so what the hell....

    Capxon Capacitors?

    What do you guys think of Capxon capacitors or as I call them Crapxon capacitors .

    No doubt they're trying to play off the Samxon name.

    I have read in the bad caps sticky that they are on the bad caps list but I have read in other places. Where people think they're ok and use them on power supply recaps.

    I personally stay away from them I'm more of a Nippon Chemicon/Panasonic kinda guy.

    What are your thoughts?

    After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
    by dragon3x
    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...

    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

    After all of...

    Solar Inverter - SMH-II - 2 missing capacitors
    by Cama
    Hello,
    I need help to find the value of 2 missing capacitors ( C102 and C117) on my Easun SMH-II mainboard (solar hybrid inverter). I circled it in red on the close-up picture. The 2 old capacitors are completely missing, so I have no reference. Does anyone have this board and can tell me the value or make an educated guess based on the location ?


    My model is : EASUN SMH-II 7 KW
    Mother Board : P/N 18947-002401250250
    Maybe the EASUN SMH-II 4.2 KW have the same capacitors


    Thank you...

    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...
