    How Do You Test A Metallized 400V 105K Polyester Film Capacitor?

    I have a Trutech PLV16260 LCD TV I have been trying to fix.It is over in the TV forum.I noticed a buzzing noise coming from the power supply.I traced it to a metallized polyester film capacitor marked 400V 105K.Is there any way of testing this?Are they supose to buzz?Thank You very much!

        One of the inverter transformers, the main power supply transformer, or an inductor is more likely you need high frequency for something to buzz.
        Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.

          How can you tell if they are bad?Any way of testing them?I have been trying to fix my TV,but instead of going forward,I'm going backwards.
          I replaced the capacitors that were bad,and the TV was working,then it would only stay on for a few seconds,so I started replacing capacitors that looked good.It seemed like the more capacitors I replaced,the less time the TV would stay on.The last capacitor I replaced,was the main 450V 150UF for the second time,and now the standy light goes out when the power button is pressed,but the TV won't turn on at all.Why I replaced the main capacitor again was bacuase it seemed like the faster I turned the TV back on again after the TV turned off by itself,the longer it would stay on.
          While it was working,I could hear a buzzing noise,and I thought it was coming from the film capacitor.
          I was told that I needed low ESR capacitors in the power supply for it to work right,or at all.That could be the reason why the TV was turning off by itself.Why it won't turn back on after replacing the main 450V 150UF capacitor,I don't know.Bad capacitor?It was the same brand,and series as the first one I replaced,but not the same brand as the original bad one.I checked both replaced new ones on as ESR meter,and they both check alright.Low capacitance?Thank You very much!

            well the foto isnt a safety-rated type.

            the caps you replaced, what type old ones - what type new ones?
            you may have put general use crap inplace of low-impedance parts.

              The TV had low ESR KT brand to start with that went bad,so I replaced them with the following brands,and series.Rubycon MCZ,Rubycon YXA,Panasonic ED,Hitano EHR,Jamicon TR.So you really needed low ESR capacitors for the power supply to work right/at all,or just to make it last longer?Thank You very much!

                well YXA isnt low-esr, not sure about the others.
                you do need low esr on psu outputs.

                  Can a metallized polyester film capacitor be checked with a esr meter?
                  just for future Knowledge.

                    The short answer to your question is yes, you can test a mpf capacitor. Of interest would be the schematic of your power supply, btw. I think you would be better served by having a look at what should be happening, instead of just blasting parts. More specifically, an ESR meter would probably not tell you much since the value is 1 uf. The quickest test is to replace the cap. A real test has to put working voltage on the cap, in this case near 400v. A capacitance meter (many multimeters have them built-in) will tell you if it is 1 uf, and a 400v. power supply with current limiting will tell you if the part is leaking. That is the actual "test".
                    Is it plugged in?

                        Pulled a failed poly capacitor from a Yamaha amp, the amp would not power up.

                        Rated 22nF, measured... 6.5nF.

                        The failure mode is reduced capacitance.

                        And that's the only time I have used the capacitance range on my meter to diagnose an actual problem.

                          by jm1234
                          Hi,
                          I have a Yageo 400V 680uF that is currently measuring 580uF (Measured by UNI-T UT603). Does that normally qualify for replacement?
                          Details: Siemens tumble dryer getting Error 25 after an hour or so, on all last 3 runs.
                          I checked the circuit boards quickly and this capacitor sticks out, nothing visible, not even bulging though. It costs 12euro, so I'd like to get your feedback first. The main thing on that board seems to be a motor controller (for the compressor) https://www.mouser.sk/ProductDetail/...xvzUNHBQ%3D%3D.
                          Thanks...

                          looking for ROM files / updates, software, and CAD files. Everything really

                          i have most, but not all, available documentation by sony pn.

                          What was all listed in the sony pro reference library?

                          I dont know of any places to look. will anyone name names?

                          Okay. So I noticed that there is wiggliness in the top 1/4th or 1/5th of the screen. It relaxes and gets less wiggly when things warm up. From my research, that's horizontal deflection. So I recapped all the electrolytics. Pretty much any CRT is due for that. The colors and geometry got WAY better afterwards. Not bad for my first CRT recap. But even though everything looks better, the GOD DAMN deflection issue is still there. So I said okay, maybe these big brown film capacitors adjacent to the flyback are on the Fritz. So I remove one. Can't tell what 125j is because I have no electronics knowledge,...

                          by Keshenatech1
                          I had been using a WS-WN523N2 to generate WiFi from my wired ethernet internet connection. Recently it needed to be power cycled more and more frequently so I decided to open it up. I found 2 bulged 470uf 16V capacitors in the low voltage output side of the unit's power supply. The 2 other capacitors in the high voltage side, a 4.7uf 400V and a 22uf 100V both read low ESR so I decided to replace them as well. The 4.7uf 400V is directly across the output of the full wave bridge and the 22uf 100V is on the other side of an inductor coming off of the positive side of the bridge, negative side directly...
