    Do us all a favor and fix that PSU... Few things annoy me more than half-assed repairs...

          +1. Don't EVER under ANY circumstances recap with a non-japanese capacitor, especially a used one, and especially in that PSU. If it killed a Teapo, it will kill a fuhjyyu twice as fast. For that, I won't post another article on Hardware insights unitl you fix it properly.
          I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

            For that, I purchased some Sacon FZ "polymer" caps off eBay to put in it.
            Just kidding...
            I swapped it out with some random Sanyo cap I had in my cap drawer. Happy now?

                    Recapping Sony ICF-SW55 - verifying cap values
                    by proxneo
                    Dear reader

                    I am performing a repair on a Sony ICF-SW55, which includes recapping (some) of the SMD capacitors on the mainboard. I am looking for verification of their values. At the moment, I'm 95% sure I've got the right values, but it is hard to find some official, credible or multiple independant sources on this.

                    At the moment, I have selected replacements based on the following list of values:

                    3 x 470uF 10VDC
                    3 x 4.7uF 35VDC
                    4 x 47uF 50VDC
                    8 x 22uF 6.3 VDC
                    1 x 220uF 6.3VDC
                    5 x 100uF 6.3VDC

                    Which...

                    Dear members,
                    I have a problem with this machine that still I can't solve, I hope some of you can suggest me something.
                    I was the first one to open the machine and touch the mainboard, in fact the Lenovo seal was intact the first time that I unscrewed all the internal screws.
                    The ower told me that it was working very good until Windows kicked "something like a firmware update" (owner's words) then the system started acting weird.
                    When you try to start it, some seconds after having pressed the power button, Lenovo splashscreen appears, then after 1 second, in the...

                    Surface Laptop 1769 SSD Failed KUS040202M-B000
                    by gurj1979
                    Hey guys,

                    I've got a Surface Laptop 1769 (the nasty cloth type palmrest) which has a failed 512GB Samsung PM971 (KUS040202M-B000).
                    These are on BGA291, but I don't know which is equivalent to KUS040202M-B000.

                    AliExpress has this but it's expensive.

                    Can anyone help me find a reasonably prices equivalent which I can use as a replacement ?
                    Or which NVMe can I remove it from ?

                    by l0lhaxz1
                    Hi

                    I have a QN65QN90A which was purchased around launch I guess making it about 1.5-2 years old... had been working fine until a few days ago, simply went black and would no longer turn on (at all). No standby light and no typical PSU relay click etc. Absolutely dead.

                    Pulled it apart without doing much research first, suspecting the power supply as it had a faint buzz (I guess due to the forthcoming found short), investigated PSU for some time and concluded there was no fault that I could spot with the board removed.

                    Came to learn after a bit more research...
