    LESR Caps in uk

    Luckily never needed to replace capacitors (Rubycon on my mobo) but my PSU has failed. I knew it was going to happen problem getting past system post for about a month. I hardly used my gaming computer hence no urgency. I needid it last night to set up a SQL database and a cap popped. System was still running but shut it down. On inspection of cpu 4x2200uf 10v Jxxxx something comapny caps all leaking along. 2x2200uf 10v slightrly bigger package seem fine but I think should replace anyway one 2200uf 16v also leaking. I would probabaly have got a new PSU but cant afford it at the moment so going to replace the capacitors. It's a easy enough job with a PACE sodr-Xtractor reflow solder on pin and suck it away and cap falls out :-) Where can i get replacment capacitors in the uk ? Ideally relaistic p&p costs aswell not £3 order with £8.99 + vat for shipping. Any of these do ?

    Not being in the uk I can only recommend the obvious
    like you suggested http://rswww.com/
    or otherwise http://www.farnell.com/uk/
    yes you will get screwed on shipping for the small orders. better to get together a mini group buy and split the shipping. otherwise since you are hard up, cant you find a friend who wants caps replaced and then you can cover the costs with your cap replacement services.

    i cant see the link you put but rs has the panasonic fc which are great.

    please observe safety precautions when working on AC powered kit. I am not familiar, please research this.

      RS are fairly pricey. Panasonic being cheaper than then the Rubycon their comes to £14 inc. delivery a new 500w PSU costs £12.95 delivered (7-9 days)

      Anyone know of other suppliers or members in UK with surplus ?

        Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
        by momaka
        I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

        For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

        It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

        Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
        by Paxman_Swede
        Hello!

        I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

        The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

        I have studied the board and...

        Japanese 3DO with leaking caps - (nearly) full poly replacement
        by Blag
        Hi all, I've got a 1994 Japanese Panasonic 3DO with 2 leaking caps. Since all the caps are now 25 years old I decided to swap them all before more of them start to leak.
        To reduce the danger of another leakage in the future I decided to swap every possible cap with a poly cap.
        Has anyone here done that already and give me some hints?

        I found a "fitting" (voltage, uF and measurements) poly cap for all but 3 caps. The largest cap is a 6800 uF 25v cap, since there aren't any 6800er polys I'll get a high quality electrolyte one with a higher temp rating. The...

        Help with switching power supply caps
        by captain150
        I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
        I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

        Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
        by Foetuss
        Good evening

        I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
        Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

        But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
        Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...
