Boyam99's mass merge of trolling & noob questions

[boyam99]

I was able to find a replacement for my 6.3V 820uF caps,thanks for the help! However u have one more question, I need to replace some 100uF 16V nichicon caps in my mobo and after a quick Google search there are tons of variants of this type of caps. I need these specifically for a xbox 360 motherboard and I don't know which alternative's are available. After a bit of research I came across this thread
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24983

But it doesn't state the cap that I need to replace. And I don't know if any polymers are available for this type.

Re: Quick question about nichicon capacitors.

what is written on the old cap?
you need to know the series to get the right datasheet

Found caps of different uF but same voltage

I found a old computer with a ton of caps with the same voltage as the required caps I need but their uF is a bit higher.
Will these work?

Re: Found caps of different uF but same voltage

dont ever scavenge caps from another device and reuse them....they may not be any good either. You'd also need to check the spec sheets and make sure ripple & ESR specs are close. Quit being cheap, just buy the right parts.

Is there a certain type of solder I should purhase?

I order some .5mm rosin solder for some caps and I need to know if this will work or do I need a bigger mm size?

You will need Fk or Fr for them what they replacing. Also why several threads ?

They are fake and will not be properly rated to genuine ones, order from somewhere like Rs.

It will work just fine.

What is the right watt soldering iron to desolder cap?

I have a 30w soldering iron and I'm having trouble removing some of the caps in a gateway computer. Is there a specified watt I should use.I also have a 120w soldering iron as well

Re: What is the right watt soldering iron to desolder cap?

Can't solder stuff on motherboards with a 30w soldering iron, at least just with one.

motherboards have multiple layers connected together, so all those layers of copper quickly absorb heat and move it away, making it almost impossible for your soldering iron to maintain the temperature of what you try to solder above the solder's melting temperature.

It helps a lot to heat the board from the bottom with something, could be as simply as a hair dryer or a paint stripping gun but be careful to heat from some distance and gradually (start far away and bring heat source closer) and not go overboard because you don't want parts on the bottom to desolder themselves.

Liquid flux also helps a lot, find some before abusing the board.
