    RCA L40FHD41YX9 and bad caps

    Hello,

    I got a 40" TV here. It's my friend's mother's TV. It doesn't work. I crack open the case and find two bad caps, just by a physical inspection.

    Both are 1000uF, 16V but different manufacturers and are on the "cold" side of the board, I do believe (but don't quote me). The first is made by some company called Chang. The second is a blue one made by some company called HEC.

    I got a few questions. There's another 1,000uF 16V HEC cap and two 1,000uF 16V Changs left. I have three new Panasonic EEU-FR1C102L (FR Series, 105C) 20% 1,000uF 16V caps lying around in the work room. Should I use them to replace these two bad ones or should I order more and replace all of them?

    Here's some pics for people that like pictures.

          Gonna need help now. I replaced them, I get a blue light but no picture, no menu when I hit the button, etc. Just black screen. It's like the backlight isn't kicking on.

              Have you got 24v going to the inverter ?

                  From the lines I measured (there's more than one pin showing 24v going to the inverter), I got 24v or around that. To the inverter board at least.

                      I'm going to pull the other caps on the PSU and just check the ESR real quick. If they check good, I'll probably pull those four caps on the inverter board and check that.

                          I pulled the other caps on the cold side of the PSU and they all seem to check out. There was a 470 that tested a little low on capacitance (around 394) but from my calculations, that's still within an acceptable range.

                              The inverter board has me worried a bit. Two of the bulbs aren't connected to the bulb assembly. I got the inverter removed. How do I connect those bulbs? Any help is appreciated. Also, would those two bulbs not being connected prevent the whole screen from turning on? Or just the bottom part of the screen?

                              EDIT: I got those two bulbs connected again and made sure all the other bulbs were snug. I wonder if those two unhooked ones would have caused this or if there's more going on.

                                  I'm going to go ask in the TV part of the forums now. Thanks!

                                      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:

                                      Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                                      by eryjus
                                      Hello,

                                      First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                                      I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                                      I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                                      ...

                                      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...

                                      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,...

                                      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?...
