Re: rat poison in akai lcd
At first I thought you found a dead mice into the Akai, then I googled for Decon ...
Apparently they're stuffed with poison, so be carefull in recapping them

I now have that same board here but this one is still working fine.
Nothing bloated but I wanna do a preemptive replacement.
Did you just replace the caps with vents or down to ??? what size to get it going?
I plan to do 100% replacement in PSU anyway so I don't care about that much, just the main board.
Thanks.

I’m working on re-capping the power board caps on a Klipsch The Fives audio speaker system. I can’t locate a replacement for these original caps that are labeled “Decon SH PET”. I have three of these on the board with the electrolytics. They are supposed to be a film type capacitor, but they look like a radial mount electrolytic. Everything I find they look completely different, usually a square type body. The two values I need are 16V 470uF and 35V 47uF. I’ve got all the other caps in my cart already from Mouser, so if there’s a replacement there, I would prefer to order from... -
Good day folks. I thought I'd share with you something I did today, just for a laugh and for a bit of a discussion, since I'm still not entirely convinced what happened there.
I found an Akai LT-3220AD TV in the dumpster - literally - so me and my colleague brought it back into the shop and dusted it off a bit to see if someone maybe gave up too soon.
Long story short: backlight came on but had no picture. My colleague attempted to reprogram the SPI chip but it didn't change anything, so we concluded it must be the panel that's faulty, especially after reading about it...01-29-2024, 10:12 AM -
I got this akai MPK 261. Had no power from USB. Optional Power adapter caused some light smoking, so unplugged and disassemble to get to the main board. There are two surface mount inductors near the power input. One look obviously damaged, removed both for replacement. Then there's this IC a few components away (pictured) that I can't identify. I've done plenty of plenty of surface mount component work, so replacing it isn't a problem. Any insight into what this could be would be greatly appreciated....09-17-2023, 01:17 PM -
Hi fellow troubleshooters. This is my first post on badcaps. I've recently setup an electronics workbench. i'm also building a studio with old equipment bought faulty at low cost.
I've been into electronics since the mid 80's and particularly in the last few years though only getting hands on with repairs now. My knowledge gaps are significant so I'll be posting here to seek guidance advice and general practical applied learning.
On my bench today is an old ca. 1993-95 Akai hardware sampler. This runs on both a linear and Smps supply. Both are getting on in age and ripple... -
