    Starter Capacitor Kits in the UK

    Hi. It is unfortunate to learn that TC no longer sells caps as I would trust him. In light of this I was hoping someone could recommend a kit or assorted bag of caps to keep a small stock of the popular or common capacitors for tv board power supplies and tv repairs. I seen cheap general purpose on ebay obviously I wont buy these. I thought I may need low esr. I wanted decent quality but from a supplier in the UK. Thanks in advance.

    make a list of common sizes,
    look up the prices for panasonic FM and FR series on RS and CPC and buy the cheapest.

        Depending on the value, check Farnell also. The parent company of CPC, so a much larger range with free shipping if your order is over £20.

            Also check out TME.eu. Cheaper than Farnell, at least for Romania. They also sell cheaper brands but i do not recommend any of them for other than hobby work. They have a pretty good selection of Nichicon, Chemicon and Panasonic.

                i use rs components myself as postage is always cheap and quick, but like you say be nice if we can find a chart with commonly used capacitors (rating size and voltage) that are used in tv psu s, what i have been doing is if i have to recap a psu to recap i just double/triple my order so im building up a spares supply slowly.

                  That's a great idea Vince, I think I will do the same, good way to do it. I agree too a chart would be brill. I have filled my cart on a few occasions now but wasn't 100% sure. But time is a good teacher

                    Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition
                    by MORETTIGIAN
                    Title:
                    Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

                    Description:
                    During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
                    I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.

                    Procedure performed:
                    - Removed backplate
                    - Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
                    - Reapplied thermal compound
                    - Reassembled card

                    Observed behavior after reassembly:
                    - GPU powers on and operates normally under...

                    RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
                    by Prolog
                    Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

                    I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

                    I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
                    (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

                    I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

                    Dick Smith Q-1760 linear power supply filter capacitor question
                    by Agent24
                    I have acquired a used Dick Smith Q-1760 power supply - although the OEM is Manson Industrial
                    It has at least one problem.

                    The voltage control potentiometer VR2, 50K is faulty - going high resistance / open circuit in the CCW end and leading to the output voltage jumping around.
                    I have already ordered a replacement potentiometer, so that's not an issue.

                    Now, I want to replace all three electrolytics on the PCB as they are CapXon and I don't trust them so much, I will replace them with something better while I've got the thing apart anyway.
                    All are CapXon...

                    If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
                    by chth96
                    I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
                    Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
                    It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
                    So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
                    I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...
