    Help Identifying Polymers (I hope)

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a little help identifying the mfr of the caps on a couple of my motherboards. First is the ones on my ASUS P8Z68-V Pro. They appear to be FPCAP which would imply either fujitsu or Nichicon. I just want to confirm.

    The others I can't really find much on, they are on my ASRock B75M motherboard which is in my server. Below are the pics, and links to fullsize. Any help you can provide is appreciated. Thanks!

      They're all made by Nichicon.
      The ones with FP are from the "functional polymer" family, nichicon bought fujitsu a long time ago and they're made by nichicon

      The ones with CP are Nichicon CP series, they don't show up on their website, it's probably a custom order for Asus or sold only to some manufacturers like Asus, Gigabyte etc.

      Asus usually uses Apaq for most motherboards, at least they used to lately.

          Thanks, I figured as much for the ASUS, but there weren't enough markings on the ASRock CP ones to go on. I was a bit nervous because they look somewhat similar to the infamous Sacon electrolytics packaged in polymer shells.

              Haha yeah, I'm not sure that the sacon FZ caps are made anymore.
              You can see these polymer caps don't have the vent scoring on the top. Although, I think there was someone who had ventless FZ?
              Ah yeah, here!:

                  Capacitor Diarrhea - Nichicon PL Series
                  by DrewPhillips
                  Hello All, I have on the bench a couple of PSU's which have some failed Nichicon PL series caps. They didn't "puke" their guts through the top, but instead "diarrhea'ed" corrosive brown electrolyte through the bottom, down the legs and onto the board. On one cap, the electrolyte rotted the cap right off the board leaving 2 little stubs, and also corroded a trace on the foil side.

                  The PSU's are Power-One MAP series and are ringing-choke topology. The semiconductors have date codes in 1993. The PSU's were used in a commercial application, fan-cooled. They had failed...

                  Mid/late 80's Nichicon Yellow Caps
                  by nick3092
                  I recently acquired a set of Bose Roomate speakers from the mid to late 80's. Basically the right speaker cabinet is completely passive, and the left one has the power transformer and amplifier circuit in it. Out of curiosity, I opened it up to see what the circuit looked like. Looks like they used all Nichicon VX (2x 4700uF/16v for smoothing off the bridge rectifier), a couple random Nichicon SE series sprinkled on the board, and what really caught my eye - 2 yellow sleeved Nichicon caps (both 1uF/50v with no real series marking. Below are pictures of the caps. The only thing not shown in these...

                  ASRock N100M, no picture no boot, but semi-alive
                  by Exim
                  Hi guys,
                  I managed to semi-kill an ASRock N100M board after updating Bios from 1.10 to 2.01. It's a zombie now, dead, but not dead.

                  ASRock N100M special features:
                  - CPU soldered to board, small Intel 12th gen
                  - iGPU
                  - four POST LEDs

                  Problem after updating Bios to 2.01 using the in-Bios update tool: no picture, no boot.
                  I am not sure anymore if it booted at least once successfully after updating the bios to 2.01, maybe not, I can't remember. I think it did not.

                  Symptoms:
                  - no picture/signal on any of the display connectors,...

                  What IC does AsRock usually use to make the PWM signals for GPU fans ?
                  by MasterCap
                  I have an AsRock Taichi 7900xtx, and the minimum fan speed is way too high at 1000rpm, and thats with it's Quiet BIOS switch on, and me setting the fan profile as low as it goes, while on.

                  Now 1 thing I could do is just make some circuit to put in between the fan the the GPU, and leave the fan on all the time, but anytime the GPU is sending the PWM for min speed, I'll just send something lower and quieter.

                  But does anyone know what how AsRock usually sends the PWM to the fans on GPUs and mobo's? Is it from the MCU that's often near the 12V inputs and fan jack ? Or is...

                  AsRock B560 Pro4 Possible Short on +1.8VSB
                  by zklgfs
                  Hi,

                  I have an AsRock B560 Pro4 (boardview: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...pro4-schematic) that's completely dead (it doesn't even turn on the power supply when the power button is pressed or the power button pins are shorted). I do get about 3.4V on the power button pin, but 1.8VSB isn't there. The resistance to ground on the inductor PL53 is only about 0.1-0.4 Ohms. Am I correct in assuming that there must be a short...
