    Can I get away with...

    ...using 6.3 volt 1500mf caps in place of 10 volt 1500mf caps on an old msi ms-6300 motherboard?

    There are 3 of them on the edge of the board and I have 4 spare 1500mf/6.3 volt caps that I bought from you a while back.

      Power the board up and measure the voltage on those caps. If the voltage on them doesn't exceed 6volts at any given time, it is safe to use 6.3v caps in those places.

          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:

          rio volt portable mp3 cd player.What type of caps are these?
          by GraphicMan
          Hello
          this is a rio volt portable mp3 cd player main board
          accidentally its 120ac power adapter was used with 220ac
          the unit worked for few seconds and then off and never worked again
          it normally takes 3volts batts or 4.5dc from the adapter socket

          in the picture I believe this is the main power IC (4 channels)
          it is the only area in the board that barely gets warm after few minutes
          drawing 0.4 watts in total continuously

          i did checked all the caps on the board including these caps around the IC
          nothing is shorted...

          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."

          Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
          by Paxman_Swede
          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...

          Help with switching power supply caps
          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,...
