    As far as I know, only the KZGs are known problem causers. I only replaced those. Are there issues with the OST caps too?

      The small 6mm ones aren't usually under a lot of stress, and so they may not be a problem, but OST aren't a reliable brand. The Nichicon HMs may also be a problem if they are older than 2005. The date codes are usually something like H0324 or A0324 (which would mean 2003, Week 24)
      I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

        Looks good. Voltages booted up pretty close:
        +1.5 = 1.5
        +3.3 = 3.39
        +5.0 = 5.18
        +12.0= 12.09
        -12.0 = -12.28
        5VSB =5.06



        I'll let it run for a while on the test bench - any other burn-in procedures I need to know about?

            But just so you know the outside of anti static bags can be conductive.

              I didn't pick up on that on the picture, but yes, it is true. Don't test stuff on Anti-static bags or foam. I usually use a motherboard box for that.

              EDIT: 5200RPM? That CPU fan must sound like a jet engine.

                i fix a lot of those and the worst complication is a vrm fet failure that sometimes totals the board.
                if it posts its fine.
                as for the fan who cares.it needs all the help it can get in an exporter.
                slap it together and put it back on the air.
                rebuild the power supply as an "oh shit" spare.
                i use panasonic fm in those.
                its just a fsp with a connector added custom.

                  haha yeah, that fan is pretty loud. And also, that's the inside of the bag.

                  Thanks, guys, for all your help! I doubt I'd have attempted this without your advice!

                    Followup: this board was still running happily when it was retired recently. For aynyone else needing it, here is what I used.

                      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:

                      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."
                      ...

                      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,...

                      Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
                      by Foetuss
                      Good evening

                      I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                      Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                      But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                      Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...

                      Replacement for the Siemens Bakelite caps in an early 1980s SMPS
                      by rewease
                      Hi everyone,

                      There actually was a time when early SMPS and late bakelite housed electrolytic caps coexisted in high end industrial gear. A friend of mine just got himself a CNC milling machine form that time with its first set of now 41 year old caps still installed in the PSU... and it's malfunctioning.

                      Two of the caps have already leaked slightly onto the board. I have not desoldered or measured any so far but they should qualify for replacement.

                      Now I'm wondering what to put in there as a replacement. First idea was state of the art low-ESR Nippon KY,...
