i just wanted to ask?
does any one use multilayer glass dielectric capacitors for recapping motherboards?

Re: does any one use multilayer glass dielectric capacitors for recapping motherboard
I doubt they have the right ESR. I don't think anybody has tried it, nor do i think it would work.sigpic

Re: does any one use multilayer glass dielectric capacitors for recapping motherboard
I don't see anything larger than 1200pF in an appnote i found. They also are pretty big. Good luck fitting enough of them on a typical mobo.Originally posted by PeteS in CARemember that by the time consequences of a short-sighted decision are experienced, the idiot who made the bad decision may have already been promoted or moved on to a better job at another company.Comment

Re: does any one use multilayer glass dielectric capacitors for recapping motherboard
Using glass as a dielectric produces a cap that is maximized for no or very low leakage. Glass caps can stay charged indefinitely. One example of a glass cap is the standard television tube which has 2 layers of conductive carbon (aquadag) separated by the crt glass envelope. That cap is part of the high voltage filter system for the crt anode. A few pf at 50 KV or more. Tradeoff: using glass for a dielectric is only practical for very small capacitance values and definitely not in the microfarad range. Once in a while you see glass caps used in precision timing circuits, but these have largely been replaced by digital and software based designs. To get an idea of practical sizes of various caps, have a look at a chart of dialectric values - that will tell you what is practical in terms of physical size. Ever seen a 1 microfarad polymer (non-electrolytic) cap? Huge.Is it plugged in?Comment

Yup, no advantage in using low-K materials like glass or porcelain, which are optimized for low loss in the microwave region. However, X5R ceramic is now available in reasonably large values (4.7uF..22uF) in very small sizes (0603) for motherboard and general digital bypassing, and I've used these successfully for mobo upgrades. The only minor drawback is that the ESR is not very low (4.7uF measured 0.4 ohm), but it still works well especially when several are used in parallel.Comment

You get 47uF and 100uF/6.3V in 1206 (maybe also 0805) size these days. If you parallel 8 of the 100uF, you get 800uF/6.3V. Assuming an ESR of 0.1 ohms for the 100 UF, the paralleled ESR will be ~0.0125 ohms - fairly competitive with ultra-low ESR electrolytics, and possibly about half to one-quarter the physical volume.Comment

by tongshadowI got this set for very cheap, it works perfectly but the catch is that the protective coating was damaged. About 45% of the screen had a green tint, you can see exactly where the layer changed colors to a blueish tone (that actually makes everything green).
"Ok, that's probably just the anti-glare layer" - I thought. So using a microfiber cloth and automotive metal polish I was easily able to turn it into a nice mirror.
Unfortunately, the damage was beyond this layer and everything still had a horrible green tint. I initially... -

This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....-

by qwerty99Hello!
I need to change the capacitors on my three original Xboxes.
Two of them are 1.6B revisions and have Hynix RAM, and the other one is a 1.6 with Samsung RAM.
The 1.6 has the infamous Nichicon HM capacitors around the CPU, which have all bulged and started to leak. This Xbox no longer powers on.
The 1.6B revisions have Rubycon MBZ capacitors that all look fine, but I’ll change them in due course. Both of these work fine.
I’ve seen some excellent threads on the forum about replacing/upgrading capacitors, but I can’t... -
by dragon3xHi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
power on.
Here are some examples :
(N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
switching supply area).
(N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
than 6.3 V.)
