    Source for Polymer Aluminum caps? Kits?

    I'd had a discussion here about this back in January with no resolution...
    I pulled another board yesterday with another batch of ugly Rubycon MCZ's (only 9 of them erupted this time). My stack of refurbed Dell GX270 SFF Foxconn/Vesuvius/Killerbee motherboards is now down to one.

    I somewhat came to the conclusion from the previous discussion that these tiny SFF PC's are thermally challenged. There was talk by some of trying polymers in the GX270. Has anyone tried such a mod? Does anyone have a good inexpensive source for compatible solid caps in small quantities? (It doesn't appear any solid kits are available here?)

    Thank you.

      FORD 1996 ECU RECAP: Aluminum - Polymer worth bothering?
      by Cartel
      I will be pulling my crown vic ECU and recapping it. 3 in total, 47uf 16v x2 and a 10uf 63v
      I hope they havent puked yet. I was thinking of replacing them with Aluminum - Polymer thru hole caps. probably 47uf 25v and 10uf 80v
      They arent cheap. Anyone have any experience with them? Am I wasing my money on premium caps?

      Nichicon PLV series

      thanks

      Asus X532FL 3.2V at source and gate
      by Lvsitano
      I am having some trouble with troubleshooting a Asus X532FL rev 2.0 motherboard, which does not power on. So at the first MOSFET, I am getting 19V at the drain, and then 3.2V on both gate and source (compared with ground). Of course, the 2nd MOSFET's source will have 3.2v at source.

      First MOSFET is a QM3056M6 and 2nd MOSFET is a QM0930M3

      I already checked first MOSFET and source and gate are not shorted (drain with source not shorted either). Also I have 1.7V at the LDO rail (measured at the keyboard connector, as the power button is on the keyboard).

      First...

      Should I replace polymer capacitor?
      by chth96
      a few days ago I finally purchased mser-100 v2 and I tested its abillity of measuring ESR value.
      I found that It shows pretty accurate ESR value for electrolytic capacitor,But When I measure polymer capacitor of dreamcast game console,I found that one third of polymer capacitor's ESR value is more than twice the value of ESR meter table.(for example, I measured one polymer capacitor of 6.3v 100uf, It showed ESR value of 7.68)
      Although my dreamcast now turns 20 years old but it still works. I occasionally have played game with it.
      Is this ESR value of polymer capacitor correct?...

      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...

      Hello,
      I have the HP EliteBook 2540P and when I disassembly the screen I cut accidentally one aluminum foil where it was on the top of the one speaker. What is the purpose of these aluminum foils on the top of the speakers....
