    look at this!

    http://www.jammarcade.net/nec-pc-9821ap2u8w-repair-log/

    now i dont need to point out that tantalums are solid.
    so what the fuck is this, fake tant's made by dipping electrolytics in resin????

    given the price difference, nothing would surprise me!

      Re: look at this shit!

      I know the article says its a leaked tantalum but looks to me like its just yellow glue gone conductive disease.

          dont think so, the glue on the top of the caps is light coloured and not translucent.
          it does look like an electrolyte leak.

              Perhaps it was corrosive solder flux.

                  It could be flux however it appears to be concentrated around the caps. If it was flux I think it would be likely to show up in other areas of the board. Perhaps it was a flux reaction with the black sticky pads under them? Either way it doesn't look good.

                      Talk to me about tantalums
                      by jayjr1105
                      Lately I've been refurbing and modding a lot of gameboy consoles and usually their main filter cap is 100uf 6v. I've been pulling 100 and 150uf 6v tantalum caps from dead macbook logic boards and using them in place of the original electrolytic. They are small and solder in quite nicely. It's my understanding these are solid state with really low ESR and should outlast the console. Is there a difference between the yellow and black ones? Should I avoid tantalums in certain circumstances like audio circuits?...

                      Samsung WD80N645OOW died mid-cycle
                      by mrsith
                      Hi fellow lifesavers.

                      I have a Samsung washer-dryer WD80N645OOW which died mid-cycle. No response to anything, completely dead.

                      Checked the socket, the plug fuse, all good. Took it out to examine the boards.

                      There is a relay clicking on the mainboard. Upon applying power, I can see a diode flashing on inverter board, after a while a diode on main board lits up for a split second, then I can hear a relay clicking. This repeats a few times, then everything dies completely.

                      I've been trying to examine the main board, but it's a bit difficult becuse...

                      Honda CX500 Motorcycle CDI ignition unit
                      by roadrash
                      Hi everyone. Not a old computer monitor this timer its something a bit different.
                      This is a CDI ignition unit from a 1980 Honda CX500.
                      In 1980 all Japanese bike starting replacing the mechanical contact breaker points ignition system with these fully electronic Capacitive discharge units. But trouble is like all electronic components they fail with age and these CDI units are are no longer available. That's progress they say ??? Luckily I found a second hand one thats still working miraculously so can use that to get readings from.
                      Not just that but these CDI units are placed...

                      BenQ TH681 Originally overheating now wont fire the lamp - Colour wheel not starting
                      by AJ847.63e
                      Hi All.

                      Does anyone have any reference materials or something I can use to try troubleshooting a BenQ TH681? Google unfortunately has turned up zip. I did find a service manual for a W series BenQ but that is pretty much useless, it's more a glorified user manual. A list of voltages would be great as I suspect my mainboard is faulty, the colour wheel voltage is not dipping like it should.

                      The one I am troubleshooting now was originally overheating after a lamp replacement. It originally would take 2 minutes or so for it to shut off and blink the temp and lamp lights...

                      Anycubic Photon 5.5 3D printer 25Q32 flashrom dump needed
                      by re-atari
                      Hello all, as the title says, I'm very much in need of a valid firmware dump of a Anycubic Photon 5.5 3D resin printer. It's stored in a Winbond 25Q32, so it's 4Mbyte.

                      Here's a little background for my request. A few weeks ago I bought this 3D printer from a guy who had moved on to a PLA printer. I got it at a vey reasonable price, as it was in a defective state. The seller told me that he had experienced a power failure during a firmware upgrade, after which the printer appeared to be dead. He thought the firmware was corrupted in such a way that the printer was now bricked. As he...
