    Cap identification

    Hello everyone!

    I found a bunch of these caps in my Sharp LCD TV and would like to know if anyone knows the manufacturer or the brand name.

    It says something like "Dum? Con".

    I already googled the capacitor series, but only found capacitors of other manufacturers.

    Thanks.

    Re: Cap identification

    If this set was mine I would recap at least the power supply board and if you have a ESR meter I would check all caps that 100uf and lower to 1uf

    If you check low value UF caps and get a reading 1.0 or higher of ERS resistance I will check them with a new cap of same value and what the difference is this how good those caps are

    If you do not have an ESR meter then I would change all low value caps with new ones

      Thanks for your reply.

      The TV set is working perfectly by now and it still has two years warranty, so I won’t modify or measure anything, which would involve desoldering, until it is really necessary.

      The caps I want to find out more about are in rather non-critical zones (audio amplifier and some signal processing circuit) — the OEM used at least Samxon GK and Capxon KF + GF capacitors together with one lonely Aishi RR capacitor in the power supply and LED driver section, so for a 240 Euro unit it could be worse.

        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."

        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...

        MacBook Air A3113 caps mesure identification
        by Raiko I
        Hi, I have this MacBook Air A3113 that came to the store with water damage. We cleaned the motherboard and two capacitors were lost. Do any of you have a motherboard for parts that you can measure the uf values of these caps?
        Thanks in advance​

        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,...
