They're owned by Huawei China : http://www.huaweiec.cn/index_en.asp

Note that there's lots of fakes ChangX Cheng etc.. these are probably "genuine" chang but with lousy wall wart adapters or power supplies and heat they're going to die no matter what.

My malfunctioning dvb-t decoder is full of them. Guess what I just had to change?

I have already recapped three dvb-t decoders with chang capacitors.

Do you know CHANG brand? They are present in many dvd players and dvb-t decoders.

Re: List of Bad Cap Manufacturers

So Su'scon's are good in Indonesia (humid and high temperature, equatorial ring), but bad in Australia (dry and modest temperature - Melbourne ) and Colorado ( dry and /presumed/ low temperature )... Learned that on geography classes :-))... Interesting...

No, they're good in Colorado.

I have a used replacement power supply in the monitor that still has its original caps, and I don't remember where it came from.

Re: List of Bad Cap Manufacturers

They are Su'scon caps, it could have been made in 2013 and failed. Anything with "VENT" on the label does that before anything else.

Uh... I don't ever recall them being THAT bad though!

Re: List of Bad Cap Manufacturers

Yes, when I see just a small sign of bad monitor I will replace all caps to makes the monitor life longer.

Re: List of Bad Cap Manufacturers

Ough.... Su'scon is badcaps manufactue.

I just open up my LCD monitor (used 3-4 years and still fine) yesterday and find full of Su'scon caps (primary, secondary, and start up caps). Did you think this is must to be recaps?

I would keep your eyes open and at the first sign of trouble from the monitor I would replace ALL electrolytic capacitors

Re: List of Bad Cap Manufacturers

I don't think they're as bad as everyone thinks. My monitor is full of them, and my computer's PSU (from 1998) has a mixture of Su'scon, G-Luxon, and Teapo. The computer has trouble booting when it's cold outside, but the monitor was made in 2006 and still works. I have seen pictures of monitors with bad Su'scon caps. Replace them if you want to and have replacements already, but it isn't critical.

thank you for advice. I think they're not bad too because I have using this monitor around 3-4 years and still no problem. Teapo and G-Luxon is bad as I think, I have two bad teapo from my motherboard (2-3years), many G-Luxon and Teapo from ATX psu that I repair. I don't have a good caps replacement for now so when I have good caps I would recaps it.
