    What brand is this polymer capacitor?

    Motherboard is an Asus M5A97, are these caps japanese? good quality?

      APAQ - Taiwan.
      No data sheets available for that particular series.
      .
      Cheap brand but I don't know of any cheap-brand polys with issues yet.
      .
      No need to replace unless you broke it.

          Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

          Title:
          Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

          Description:
          During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
          I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.

          Procedure performed:
          - Removed backplate
          - Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
          - Reapplied thermal compound
          - Reassembled card

          Observed behavior after reassembly:
          - GPU powers on and operates normally under...

          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?...

          solid polymer electrolytic capacitor go boom?
          by eccerr0r
          Anyone had a solid polymer capacitor fail for whatever reason?

          How do they fail? Do they explode, go open, short out, ?

          How about for different reasons: forcing excessive ripple current, overheating, voltage too high, reverse voltage?

          Just wondering about the causes for a potential shorted solid polymer capacitor... trying to debug a board that has a ~4Ω "short" on a track... it may or may not be a capacitor but was wondering what if it were...

          RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
          by Prolog
          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...

          Dick Smith Q-1760 linear power supply filter capacitor question
          by Agent24
          I have acquired a used Dick Smith Q-1760 power supply - although the OEM is Manson Industrial
          It has at least one problem.

          The voltage control potentiometer VR2, 50K is faulty - going high resistance / open circuit in the CCW end and leading to the output voltage jumping around.
          I have already ordered a replacement potentiometer, so that's not an issue.

          Now, I want to replace all three electrolytics on the PCB as they are CapXon and I don't trust them so much, I will replace them with something better while I've got the thing apart anyway.
          All are CapXon...
