    found on an IBM Netfinity 5000 mobo, must be from around '99 or '00.

    Re: what's that? did i miss something?

    I am not sure what you are referring too when you say you missed something.

    The picture looks like its of the capacitors near the AGP slot.

    The blue cap is an Sanyo OS-CON, I have heard that these capacitors are high quality from other badcaps board members. It looks like a solid polymer capacitor (I could be wrong). No vent marks on top. 820uF, 4V caps are typical for solid polymer caps.

    The green caps, I can not see the brand nor the series. Judging by the colour of the cap, it maybe a Teapo, Tayeh, Lelon cap. These are known bad but I am sure there are other capacitors which use a similar colour and are good. For example some series of Sanyo capacitors use the green colour caps, Sanyo make very good low ESR capacitors.

              >but WHY?

              because ibm usually puts worst components they have, so their stuff lasts few months only, so they can lose all of their money on warranties etc.
              that's why they've put such a crappy caps....

              hehe...

              how can you ask why ibm puts good components on their mobos?
              you're surprised ibm is 5-10 years ahead with os-con?
              why?

              or are asking why is it in that spot?
              perhaps they didn't have other types, and they were not bean-counters we expect all are..

              any more whys?

                Re: what's that? did i miss something?

                why?
                when did chemicon ever produce OS-CONs?

                maybe it is a stupid question and i missed something but as far as i remember Sanyo was the first big manufacturer of solid caps and they were called...............OS-CON.
                that's why.

                    i was told by a friend who worked for sanyo that sanyo made the oscon's for chemicon under contract.

                        well, that explains it, then.

                          Can you tell me what did you replace the caps near the northbridge with? Do I need to replace the OST as well?

                          You guys are great help! Thanks!

                            didn't replace anything. the rest are Sanyos (probably WG or WX) and the board never had any issues.
                            sticker says 'MADE IN UK'. uuuh!
                            i had it folding for a while but the noise was a bit too much for the few points so i gutted the thing for the case.
                            plus, VRM modules for these only turn up on ebay once in a while.

                              Mystery 80s Sanyo cap - perhaps polymer?
                              by cj_reha
                              Hey all I've been working on a 1984 Sanyo 27" color TV which had a smattering of bad caps in the video switching circuit. I found this oddball little 1uF 25V cap which looks to me like an early polymer, but I can't find concrete info proving it. I know Sanyo was a big player in early polymer cap development and this is the time period where they were just getting on the market, so I'm wondering if anyone has crusty old datasheets that could help identify it and determine if my suspicions are right? It has the same epoxy end seal and font/formatting as some old stock Os-Cons I've got laying...

                              Sanyo DP5834 - Gray Screen
                              by toddw65
                              Hey All,

                              I have a Sanyo DP5834 that did have an issue with the backlights, but I disassembled the unit and repaired the LED strips by resoldering all of the connectors. Now I've reassembled it and I have backlights and sound, but a grayish screen. I can tap on the screen and see that it's on, but no picture. All voltages seem to be correct on the power board.

                              Based on the LCD Flat panel TV troubleshooting guide by Bud Martin, I'm thinking the T-Con has failed because I'm getting 12v both into and out of FP1 on the T-Con. Am I on the right track?

                              Thanks,...

                              by hugocarmo
                              Hi again guys.
                              Today I have a problem with this Sanyo VCR.
                              I bought it online, It worked sometimes.
                              I recap the Power supply and it started working fine.
                              Image is perfect and all digital effects too.
                              All of a sudden it stopped outputting sound. I checked for dried solders an all boards and soldered when needed, no fix.
                              I have no sound on playback, on tuner, or aux in.
                              On symptom I noticed is when it was working fine, the HI-FI led was on when I power up the VCR, now is OFF, A-B leds are on but when I put a tape they go off.
                              On one of the sound processing...

                              Hello. I have a Sanyo TV that had no backlights at first. I changed CS9 off the power supply and now the backlights will come on for a second or 2 and go right back off. I can see the image if I shine a flashlight in the screen. Anyone familiar with this particular model and problem, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance....
