    Dick Smith Oz-Caps

    Some of the first caps I bought were an assorted pack from Dick Smith Electronics here in Oz.

    Their representative staunchly defended the quality of the caps when I explained to him the Badcaps problem.

    Among them were "Hitano" brand 470uF x 25V. Going by the scant markings, I can only guess that they were: EHR SERIES High Temperature Radial Type 105C.

    Has anybody had any encounters with these or any comments to offer?

    Thanks,
    Neo.

      typically cap assortments (at least the ones I've seen) contain Good Caps, however they're very rarely low-esr or of size/voltage ideal for motherboard repair...

          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...

          Dick Smith GE6992 Flashing Backlight every 10 secs
          by Wilderone
          Hi, wondering if I can get some assistance with this TV please.

          Backlight starts flashing on/off roughly every 10seconds after the TV gets warm. (10-20 minutes)

          I have stripped it down to the LED'S thinking I may see the culprit but all strings seem okay & test okay with LED Tester.

          Each LED string (4) measures 130v & drops around 2v when it flashes & back up to 130v.

          Power Supply number; tv6501-zc02-01
          Mainboard number; ms33930-zc01-01
          Panel number; V650HP1-PS6

          I have a basic Multimeter &...

          DSE GE6878 possible TV receiver dying remote not working well
          by CdDvdFlash
          For this Dick Smith TV GE6878 (Thompson) I replaced the broken remote with a universal it kinda works though if its more than a few meters away sometimes the buttons register and sometimes they wont so I bought another remote from another brand and it has the same problem, I've had an old TV in the past that the sensor died completely and I replaced it to fix it could this be a similar problem? I tried looking for a service manual, spare parts for a receiver and a parts list but I couldnt find any info. can someone please help me to find the info online for a service manual or where I can buy...

          Hi all,
          I need your advice.
          -SAMXON 2200uf 50V tested 0.00 esr on Dick Smith Blue Esr meter and 2027 ohm on FLUKE 179 multimeter.
          -Is this esr reading realistic?

          Sony KD-49XE8396 49" Bravia LCD TV
          by Jackplug 123
          Hi There,
          When this set developed this fault a member of the family passed it on to me,while they bought a newer set.
          On power up via the separate 19v SMPSU, a dark screen,backlights and sound OK.
          On removing the rear cover later, I checked the TCON board and ordered a replacement just in case.The replacement board made no difference.Prior to replacing the TCON board,I cleaned all 3 ribbon cables with iso prop alcohol.
          Disconnecting one of the two LCD ribbons going to the LCD/Gate driver boards,managed to get half a working RHS screen with half the SONY logo "NY"...
