    How is Jackcon nowadays?

    My ADSL modem is getting flaky. Opened it up and found Jackcon caps, none bulging, but man that thing runs hot. Some caps are hot to the touch and you cannot keep your finger on them for longer than ~5 seconds. Any recent findings of bad Jackcons? They have -07 datecodes on them.

    Symptoms are:
    - Large delay in page loading times. (This "Post New Thread" page took 228 seconds to fully load!) Even Google takes ~10 seconds to load.

    It hasn't dropped the connection, but yesterday I power cycled it and the symptoms went away. Today, it's doing the delay thing again, and power cycling helped only mildly. Could dried up caps cause this?

    Make and model is A-Link RR84.

    Thanks for any help.

      a hot cap is a bad cap, symptom of high esr. some caps fail without visual signs. replace all bad brand caps including jackcon, which is a known troublemaker.

          Couldn't just a generally bad router design also cause the capacitors to run hot?

          Of course if it only just started doing it, then you know the capacitors are the problem and should be replaced...

              Lenovo Legion 5 high fan spin turns off after 34 seconds
              by twonk9098
              Hi all,

              I have a Lenovo Legion 5 with a Ryzen 7 series CPU and RTX 3070 GPU. My issue is that it turns on and all seems fine except after a few seconds the fans spin up high and the laptop turns off after 34 seconds.
              I can get into bios and can even boot and login to Windows however after 34 seconds no matter if Im at the bios screen or booted into Windows it will just turn off.

              I have managed to run HWmonitor and the temperatures of the CPU and GPU are fine, I can also touch the heatsync which is warm but not hot.

              I have tried a few new bios but exactly...

              Lenovo 15iml05 Power led lights for 12 seconds then off 12 seconds
              by liquidzorch
              Hello. I bought a faulty Lenovo ideapad 3, but it turns out the 3Valw buck converter burnt a hole through the board. I was able to clean it up, and remove all the shorts. I now can power the 3.3v rails from a bench power suppy while connecting the laptop to its psu, and I get the additional 5valw, 1.8v, and 1.05v, form what I can tell in the schematics, those are the only 4 voltages I should see before turning on, and they are present. When I hit the power button, the power indicator on the left side turns on (not the one on the power button), stays on for about 12 seconds, then turns off for...

              LG 23MP55HQ LED Monitor turns off after a few seconds or flickers.

              Good evening, gentlemen.

              I have a problem with my monitor. It turns off after a few seconds or flickers. Shining a flashlight on the screen doesn't show any image, so I guess it's not the "2 seconds to dark" I read in the forum.

              To turn it back on, I have to press the power button twice. Then after a few seconds it turns off again or flickers. See video.

              Harman/Kardon AVR 645 returning to stand-by after a few seconds.
              by PowellSkier
              A Harman/Kardon AVR 645 repair has been a hobby of mine for the past several years. My latest attempt involved the purchase of a DOA unit for part swapping and testing. The original AVR would power up then shut down after a few seconds. I completely tore down both units, found a couple of bad components and reassembled one of them. Same issue, no speakers connected. After extensive research I found a repair document from Harman/Kardon that explains the protection circuit in fantastic detail and provides specific test points for each fault (power, DC detection, overload & power) and the voltage...

              Macbook A1466 820-00165 resets every 10 seconds
              by AlexVG
              Hi,
              It have had a problem with U7100 and short circuit in Q7130.
              I replaced them.


              It starts now and waiting 20 seconds and then starts to reset PM_SLP_S4_L every 10 seconds.
              Almost all voltages rising
              except U3090 and U3210 (LED) - not receives enable signal.

              U4500 is trying to rise - receives enable only 2-3 seconds

              Here is my measuring of important signals.

              What else could be the problem?



              I need to help.
              Thank you an advance....
