Re: Audio coupling/decoupling caps with higher capacitance than their rated values
I measured 0.0001V across the coupling caps with no input source, and that multimeter gives unusually high voltage readings (unless the other two I have used give low readings). Even if they forgot the coupling caps in the application circuit, it still doesn't need them.
I never said the 0.22uF caps were coupling caps.Comment

Re: Audio coupling/decoupling caps with higher capacitance than their rated values
Maybe I missed something, are the .22uF's between the audio-in connectors and the audio-in pins of the IC? Last time I saw this the datasheet said it was to remove any scratchy sounds which may result from cheap volume potentiometers. However, those caps were in-line or rather they continued the circuit, they were not tied to ground like a filter-cap.Presonus Audiobox USB, Schiit Magni 3, Sony MDR-V700Comment

Re: Audio coupling/decoupling caps with higher capacitance than their rated values
It's still a filter cap of some kind even if the drain side isn't at ground.
At this point I'm content to let him have the scratchy sound.

Re: Audio coupling/decoupling caps with higher capacitance than their rated values
These caps are connected between the audio input and ground.
I didn't want this thread to get this long when I started it. I have no problems with scratchy sound.Comment

Dear reader
I am performing a repair on a Sony ICF-SW55, which includes recapping (some) of the SMD capacitors on the mainboard. I am looking for verification of their values. At the moment, I'm 95% sure I've got the right values, but it is hard to find some official, credible or multiple independant sources on this.
At the moment, I have selected replacements based on the following list of values:
3 x 470uF 10VDC
3 x 4.7uF 35VDC
4 x 47uF 50VDC
8 x 22uF 6.3 VDC
1 x 220uF 6.3VDC
5 x 100uF 6.3VDC

I am looking for capacitor & Inductor values for my TOSHIBA Qosmio X500-110 - mobile graphics - Nvidia GTS 250M Laptop.
Values for :-
=========
PC43 : Capacitor [3x1.5mm]
PL7 : Inductor [2x1mm]
PC39 : Capacitor [1x0.5mm]
Any ideas would be appreciated.
I can get Capacitor values from nearby components but wanted to know the max ratings also I dont have equipment to measure inductors.... -
Good day everyone.
I have on the bench an amp board from DALI SUB E-12F. It is class D amp with a smps on the same board.
The issue is that it powers off way before the rated power is reached (the protection circuit kicks in). It has an independent standby power supply, which stays on after the main power supply is turned off via a relay on the primary side (thus there is no reason to believe that the protection is triggered from the smps IC on the primary side).
The normal value of the positive and negative power rails is +/- 43V.
The positive rail stays... -
Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow.
But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. 
I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

Dear Alls,
For sure it id a stupid question, but help me to understand. I am in a Dell 2007WFP revitalizing project - searching reason why not starting. Some resistors needed to replaced is is obvious. When I have soldered some resistors the measured (with multimeter) values were sometimes rather different written on them. I supposed these are wrong units so I desoldered and made a checking measurement and voilá the values is the same is written on. This happens only in case of a few resistors, most have the same values (+/- 10%) are written on it. "strange" SMD resistors =>103...
