I'm working on a Dell 1800MP projector with a bulging cap in the power supply. The lamp error LED comes on for a second, then the blue power light flashes constantly. The fan won't even turn on. This appears to be a common failure in these projectors.
The bulging cap is an OST RLS 10V 3300uF (12.5mm diameter, 20mm height). Rated for 105 degrees Celsius. O663 is also printed on the sleeve.
There are also a few Ltec caps that are not showing any signs of problems. One has "6908D" and 680uF printed on the sleeve, and I can't see the printing on the others without removing them (they are all small in comparison to the OST). Are these worth bothering with?
There are also a few UCC caps that I won't worry about.
There appears to be enough room for a taller cap, but I would like to find one closer to the current one.
So far, this is the cap I am looking at: https://www.badcaps.net/store/produc...products_id=56
Does anyone have any other suggestions for different brands or something a little closer to the current cap as far as size goes?
Thanks!
