Re: Bad caps or inductors on Klipsch ipod speaker unit
Thanks bill!
I realized this also. I replaced all the caps on the board and i saw significant improvement once i replaced the big filter cap........but the replacement cap was probably not a good replacement so the "caps" did get slightly hot. I think the reason it got slightlly hot is the caps i used as replacements were "general purpose" caps. I dont have any really "low" esr caps to see if this would reduce hotness.
When i use a 12V/5A external power supply for a Mag lcd i the caps only get slightly warm. So this is what i am trying to achieve.....slightly warm, but i have only been able to do this with the Mag 12V/5A external supply.
REcall: The Klipsch external supply is a 15V/3A supply.
I tried an IBM laptop external supply 16V/3.36A and it did not work.......meaning it made the caps very hot.
So these caps are very sensitive to ripple.
