      KILLER BEANS!! Glad I saved that old board, many times it nearly got pitched, but the pack rat that I am always told myself I'll need something off it someday...

      Glad it worked!!

        Well, I was wrong. I didn't believe that the techs at Abit would replace only some of the bad caps on a motherboard. But I just (finally!) got back the RMA replacement for that BP6 that I sent 'em, and ten of its 1500uF caps are still Tayeh, the other two are Teapo. So it sure looks like they just pulled out a couple of visibly bad Tayeh caps and replaced them with Teapo caps. Sheesh!

        EC10 is just 100 uF, too.

        The 1000uF caps are all gold-writing-on-black Teapos.

        Big waste of time and shipping. I shoulda recapped it myself.

          Well, in the interest of fairness, I should mention that the RMA replacement BP6 which Abit sent me does seem to work okay, in spite of the Tayeh caps. I still would feel a lot better if they'd replaced 'em, but (for now, anyhow) it runs fine.

            My L18 coil is dead too. Does anyone know where I could get a replacement?

              Going to have to find a spare dead board and scavenge the coil from that. If you cant find one, unwind the coil, get new wire the same dimensions and length and rewind it by hand.

                  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:

                  TCL 43s405 power board 81-PBE045-M02 (PLE100-2A) changed out the cheap caps
                  by link626
                  changed out the cheap HEC caps on my tv power board to a mix of nichicon chemicon and panasonic caps below.

                  now there's louder buzzing noise from the yellow thing in the upper left corner. (anyone know what that yellow thing does? is that the transformer?)
                  and the screen flickers in brightness. It's a light flicker, but noticeable.

                  the buzzing ebbs and flows, like cicadas buzzing.
                  in similar fashion, the brightness flickering ebbs and flows. the flicker might stop for a minute or two.

                  these are all low esr caps, and I'm wondering if that might...

                  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...

                  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,...
