      There are shills in every country. Newegg marketplace has always been rife with this sort of crap. Here's one from USA:

            It seems that all the big online people have 3rd party sellers. It's a shame because it only takes a few dodgy sellers to ruin a big company's reputation that took generations or decades to build.

              Oh NewEgg, what has become of you!

              Actually I just used their marketplace not too long ago to buy some stuff. Technically I could have used eBay (and it would have been cheaper), but I had a gift card with a few $$ to finish off, so figured why not.

              Basically the NewEgg marketplace has pretty much the same crap as eBay and AliExpress, but for higher prices... and with a much shittier search engine (seriously NewEgg, your search engine is useless ATM!)

              That's 20 cents per shit cap!
              Sure a 35V 1000 uF Jap cap from Digikey or Mouser will probably run you close to a $1 or more... but at least it's not going to be some volatile turd that spoils as soon as you open the bag.

              If it ships out of China, consider it suspect at the very least.

              As long as there's money to be made (i.e. suckers to fall for their tricks) this will never stop.

                  I reported it to thier investigation team, as 'fraud'. Included attached image.

                  They asked what company I worked for and what proof I had. Did nothing.

                    I got fake stuff from Newegg years ago. they were quick to give a refund. I posted a bad review and the seller went away. probably just changed their name

                      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).

                      https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591772

                      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...

                      Fake Caps in Xbox 360
                      by Galraedia
                      I decided to take one of the Rubycon capacitors out of a phat Xbox 360 with a Zephyr motherboard and noticed that all the Rubycon capacitors near the CPU were fake. The capacitors in question are Rubycon MFZ 680uf 6.3V and they all have a bullseye bottom, something not found in genuine Rubycon capacitors. None of them were leaking, they all have the K top, and the system has never been opened before. It appears Microsoft was using fake capacitors in the Xbox 360, or the Chinese facility where the console was manufactured in was using them and passing them off a genuine. Just thought I'd share...

                      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,...
