    Abit VP6:Need help about capacitor connection?

    My board is abit VP6. After i remove the caps, i found that i may damage the board slightly. I guess The distance between the hole and the trace is too close. And i did a bad job of desldering. But i am not sure???

    I am not sure whether the negative of the capacitor EC28(6.3V 1500uF) connects that circuit path.( A connects B???) A is capacitor, B is circuit path
    The circuit path is at the back of the motherboard and Capacitor EC28 is located below the north bridge.

    If anyone has the same board, please let me know.

    Thanks!

    If anyone have the answer, let me know.

      Just by looking at the pic, it looks like it does. Its been a while since I've done a cap job so I can't remember. My VP6s are running so I can't double check. If no one can give a definate by Monday, I will pull mine apart (they could use a cleaning anyway) and verify.

      Hopefully, someone will be able to give you a better answer sooner.

          I see the solder joints just below that has the tiny traces skirting around them.
          Makes me think the spacing is tight but they would not be connected.
          Don't know for sure though.

              i dont think that circuit is connected to the negative lead of the cap.
              the scratch doesnt seem bad
              but you must fix that trace at the top of the -ve hole in the pic
              i think it is difficult but some people here have done such fixes

              must be careful about the heat when the traces are close to the hole!

                  The trace B in question looks like a ground shield for the controlled-impedance trace above it, probably an impedance-matched clock transmission/delay line. It could be connected to the ground plane at the capacitor pad (among other places).

                  Hopefully, somebody who has a VP6 will give you a definitive answer soon.

                      i looked at a vp6 i got in for recapping.
                      the cap pad is connected to the trace

                          for motherboard recap, u need high power soldering iron ~ 80W to 100W, best if temperature controlled type.

                          Here is my suggestion... on ur problem. Bty, is that trace connected to capacitor pad A originally ?



                          Cheers !

                              Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

                              I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

                              I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
                              (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

                              I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

                              If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
                              by chth96
                              I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
                              Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
                              It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
                              So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
                              I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...

                              How can I test non-polarized capacitor?
                              by chth96
                              I desoldered samwha NF capacitor(50v 5.6uf) from PCB circuit of 29inch CRT TV which have symptoms of no display after I heard sound of inrush of current to TV whenever I switch on this television.
                              I measured ESR value of this non-polarized capacitor(samwha NF capacitor 50v 5.6uf) by means of MESR-100 ESR meter and It displayed 0.3 ohm

                              And When I measured its capacitance with digital multimeter and LCR-T4 Mega328 meter, It displayed 10uf from DMM and 8uf from LCR-T4 meter.
                              I found catalogue of samwha capacitor(samwha-catalogue_3.pdf file), which is attached to this thread,...

                              Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
                              by chth96
                              When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.


                              Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
                              But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.
                              Rubycon YK DataSheet (b...

                              Should I replace polymer capacitor?
                              by chth96
                              a few days ago I finally purchased mser-100 v2 and I tested its abillity of measuring ESR value.
                              I found that It shows pretty accurate ESR value for electrolytic capacitor,But When I measure polymer capacitor of dreamcast game console,I found that one third of polymer capacitor's ESR value is more than twice the value of ESR meter table.(for example, I measured one polymer capacitor of 6.3v 100uf, It showed ESR value of 7.68)
                              Although my dreamcast now turns 20 years old but it still works. I occasionally have played game with it.
                              Is this ESR value of polymer capacitor correct?...
