    YEC is worse, IMHO. They had often failed in storage as well as new equipment that hadn't been powered up, like IBM NetVistas and so on. It's almost as if somebody was determined to ensure that the sale of the IBM PC Company to Legend/Lenovo should take place, and at the lowest possible price, and therefore chose YEC as the capacitor brand on NetVistas.

    CapXon and Teapo aren't that bad, in my experience. They often do fine in PSU secondaries for years, suggesting that fan cooling is the key to ensuring their durability.

        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...

        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...

        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...

        Samsung UN70tu7000wxza no standby light, do I have bad capacitors?
        by ctroxtell
        I picked up a 70" Samsung UN70TU7000WXZA. The original owner said they were watching it when the power surged and knocked it out. I pulled the back off the TV and disconnected the main board from the power board, and the LED backlight came on, which I was told meant the power board was good. When everything is plugged in the standby light will not come on, looking at the main board BN94-17775A with a thermal imaging gun I can see one of the chips labeled 3202 is 251 degrees F just sitting idle. I found a replacement board, BN94-16115X; this board has the same symptoms, except it is a different...

        Missing Capacitors- MSI RTX 2080
        by Fahd Qureshi
        Hi All,

        I recently purchased as MSI RTX 2080 SEAHAWK X, which isn't working. I noticed there are 2 capacitors missing from the back- see images. I am wondering, could this explain why the card won't work? I appreciate any help!
