Caps compatible issues

[n1kstr3r]

Hi,

On samsung syncmaster 740n power board, three caps with 820uf 25v are bad. Can I replace them with 1000uf (M) 25v? 820uf 25v not available in the local market. If what I havr is not compatible, then what is the next best compatible caps can i use?

Thanks

Re: Caps compatible issues

1000 is o.k. IF they fit.
820 are probably smaller.
dont forget they must be low-esr

Does the (M) matter?
They are B41827 EPCOS 85 deg Celsius.

Re: Caps compatible issues

no, and if they are 85' then they arent low impedance - which may explain why they need replacing!
i doubt those epcos caps are original!

So you put in General purpose cap instead of Low ESR type which is required by the Switching power supply.
