    RCA analog-digital TV converter box

    Less than two years old, two 470uF, 25V, one 470uF, 10V (bulging despite no slits on top), and one 1000uF, 10V caps failed.

    what brand are the caps???

    and maybe its me, but the top of the one on the bottom left corner of the pic looks kinda funny on the top too.. usually you see distinctive lines for pressure release, that one almost looks like someone tapped the top with a flat head screwdriver.

      Those two brown ones in the bottom left corner are Su'scon (neither is swollen, but the pressure relief marks are shallow and seem cut rather than stamped), most of the black caps, including the swollen ones on the left have this logo on them:



      Some other black ones, including the swollen one on the right, is labelled "Jwco"

      The dark greens are KSC

        never heard of any of those brands.. but then again, i am also kinda new to the whole cap thing too and mainly work on things like video cards and motherboards so far.

          i'm surprised there are so many in it,
          most boxes i see only have a few where the psu connects other than the small ones around the video/oudio outputs.

            This unit has a lot of DC-DC converters on the main logic board, which can add confusion to which capacitors to replace (not just the bad ones).
            My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

              What's that RJ12 phone connector for?

                I think that is for a Smart Antenna input.

                  MPS NB670 NB670GQ Switch Mode Converter for Laptop Computers Datasheet
                  by Document Archive
                  The NB670 NB670GQ is a fully integrated high frequency synchronous rectified step-down switch mode converter with 3.3V fixed output voltage. It offers very compact solution to achieve 6A continuous output current and 9A peak output current over a wide input supply range with excellent load and line regulation. The NB670 operates at high efficiency over a wide output current load range. Constant-On-Time (COT) control mode provides fast transient response and eases loop stabilization.

                  Under voltage lockout is internally set as 4.65V. An open drain power good signal indicates the output...

                  What is this PSW1 part on a circuit board? Trying to fix a Canopus ADVC-300 DV/VHS Converter
                  by gizmo1990
                  I'm trying to fix this Canopus converter so that I can convert lots of old VHS cassettes. The problem is that it turns on for a split (and I mean split!) second, the fan jerks and then.. nothing. I've checked the power brick works. I've opened up the converter itself and been testing for shorts.



                  The image attached shows the on/off switch (which I've checked works) to the left of the yellow socket. Below the yellow socket is a green block marked 26 with a strange symbol at the front. Putting my probes either end of this block, on the silver parts, gives an open short...

                  i look for equivalent dc to dc converter
                  by wolf1976
                  hi
                  in an inverter of aircondition i have dc to dc converter mes1515mh
                  i have attachment the pdf file
                  can i take a dual converter with two dc outputs instead this ? because i cannot found the same or is not possible ?
                  the problem is instead 15 volt dc output i have only 6,45 volt
                  thanks on advancxe...

                  [Question] Ch341a and 5v to 3.3v with logic converter
                  by md500
                  zz0.8tpitu4y0i8zzI bought a ch341a (I'm waiting for it to arrive) and I noticed that the programmer has a bug that the data pins go to 5v when the VCC pin is at 3.3v (which is the voltage I'm looking for).

                  Instead of doing the 3.3v mod, I'm thinking of converting the 5v to 3.3v with an 8 channel TXS0108E through the ZIF socket but I don't know if that would work, because it has to circulate voltage and also information.

                  What I am looking for is something that will convert from 5v to 3.3v but without modifying the ch341a.

                  I can't buy the ch341a 1.6v that has...

                  SOCs with an on-die DC-DC converter
                  by japlytic
                  You may know this, but all Intel Core CPUs from the fourth generation (Haswell) onwards have an on-die DC-DC converter, and a System on Chip (SOC) which has such is the Broadcom BCM2835 (and certain other SOCs used in the Raspberry Pi) - the only external components for the DC-DC converter are inductor(s) and filter capacitor(s) and in some cases, feedback voltage resistor divider(s).

                  Do you know of any other SOCs which have an on-die DC-DC converter?
