    Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition
    by MORETTIGIAN
    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...

    Problem

    This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

    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...

    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...
