    I would not be surprised

    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...

    Yeah, replace the lot, CapXon are awful.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    CONdenser - The old name for caps. [Still used in some places I think.]
    apparently you are a million times smarter than me - I should have known this, yet I thought about it for weeks and could not come up with the answer!

    You can make your own thread in the computer display section. I've fixed a few Samsung monitors, and I usually use nichicon PW, Chemi-Con KY, Panasonic FC. But create your own thread so we can help you there

    Hello,

    thank you for replies. Sorry if I was OT.

    However, I opened another post:

    Many thanks to those will help me!

    Re: Capxon Capacitors?

    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)
    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...
