Re: quick question here
Hi! No, pulling the plug on the copmuter would not damage the caps. They only fail from being badly made, or overheated.I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

Re: quick question here
but its still bad practice. can cause hd errors and skips prompts to save things. only hard reboot when you must or are in bios. there is no reason to do that.sigpic

Fixed a 10yo HP inkjet with a bulging cap on the digital computer power rails (1 to 5V). Unstable voltages causing these inkjets to not boot properly or crash quickly. Seems like more and more of these are showing up nearing the 10 year mark. Board design seem to look similar for many of these printers.

Would you consider a slightly bulging capacitor defective if it measures perfectly and it is brand-new? To be honest, they are all equally like this: vent is not totally flat but they have very low E.S.R. and VLOSS is negligible.
So, everything seems perfect apart from the vent looking a bit "strange". They are genuine capacitors, BTW.
The bad thing is that they are 400V capacitors so testing them just to check how much they last would mean using them on the primary of a power supply, which means the risk of damaging the whole circuit.

Hello,
This macbook wont turn on. Only a quick fan spin. Sometimes fans spin a few second. Somtimes they spin fast for a few seconds. Other than that no signs of life
All the Coils on the board have voltage and battery charges fine as well.
I noticed this not sure if it is suspicious:
PPVCC_CPU_PH1 / CPUCORE_SW1 = 40 Ohms (Flex Bv shows 90 Ohms)
=.023 Diode Mode (Flex BV shows .090)
I would appreciate som support in the diagnosis.
Th anks,

I have been using a Denon AVR-X2000 receiver in my living room for several years now, works perfectly, am very pleased with it. Recently I acquired another one, advertised as defective with flashing red led a few seconds after switching on. Picked it up to try repair and use in hobby room. After switching on, the on/off indicator led indeed initially flashes green for about 2 seconds, during which the display is visible, and then starts flashing red (at 2Hz) with a switched off display.
I'm afraid the service manual is too large to upload here (55Mb), it can be found at https:/...
