Cross posting or multiple posts in different subforums is frowned upon here. It confuses people and makes for duplicate work/effort on our part.

You can get caps at digikey.com. Get Panasonic FR, FM, or FC series.

Not only did he cross-post, that's not even his unit. Gotta do better than post a ripped off, low rez image...

Samxon GF is a known bad unit, and Jaycar is still selling them.

sorry guys
I couldn't delete my first post when I put it in the wrong side
I found out where to put them
The only thing that I need to know :
the 1200uF do I go 35v on that and what it could do if I go from 25 to 35
and where to buy single
and about the picture I got it from website

I can't believe how could you all bash a newbie for making mistake and humlate me for asking a question.

First of all, the more information you give us, the easier it is to help. You have done an adequate job there, better than many. Still one piece of information is missing.

Next, the preferred approach once you realized your initial mistake would be to attach a second post, requesting the thread be moved to the proper forum.

Japlytic gives two vital pieces of information in his response. First, Saxmon GF series are known bad caps - replace on sight. Next, Jaycar (whoever that is, Google would help) is still selling them. Of course, the first piece of information makes the second unnecessary.

That brings up the fourth point (no, we aren't close to done yet). Phrase your questions clearly. The first time I read 'I read I have to go up' it was meaningless. And the second time wasn't much clearer.

Which brings us to the fifth point. The people who insist you must go up in voltage don't know what they are talking about. Yes, capacitors will fail if the voltage across them is too high. That was not the problem in this case. Capacitors also fail prematurely if they are garbage. And the Saxmon GF series were garbage when they came out of the factory.

Now to the sixth point. Because of their reputation, most people prefer not to use Saxmon caps, although they have other series that are more reliable. Personally, I prefer Panasonic FR, FM, or FC series caps. Note that this is the same information retiredcaps gave. There are equivalent series from Rubycon, Nichicon, and United Chemicon which are every bit as good.

Now, just like Robert of Bruce, we get to the 7th point. In your posts you have not indicated where you are located. By your command of English, you could be in the USA. In that case, I suggest ordering
P14426-ND EEU-FR1E122 $0.94 ea and
P14400-ND EEU-FR1C152L $0.94 ea from Digikey. Use USPS First Class Mail shipping and you will get your parts on Wednesday at a total cost of about $5.00.

And the final point is, if you are located outside the USA, shipping could cost up to $50, so you should find another supplier.

The other guys explained where to buy them. As to where to put them...
I'd give it a 99.9% chance the 2 1200uF's go together on left bottom.
And the 1500 uF goes by itself on top left. Make sure to put them in the right way. Those capacitors have a polarity. The negative lead has a stripe on the side of the capacitor. On most boards you put that negative lead on the striped side of the circle on the board. Or it might have a -> | next to it. Just line up the striped side of the cap with the negative marking on the board. Good luck.
