I need some caps for a monitor. 1000 uf 16volt; and 680uf 25volt; the local shop only has 680 34volt; will it be ok if I use that ?
uf vs volt which matters ?

Re: uf vs volt which matters ?
No, it will not be OK unfortunately.
You need to get the capacitance (uF) as close as possible unless you know the power supply can work otherwise (which requires good understand of how it works.)
The voltage should be the same or higher.
However, another factor a lot of people overlook is that the replacements must be low impedance, or low ESR. Otherwise, they will either not work at all or fail in short order.
Digikey and Newark both ship to Canada and provide the caps you need.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: uf vs volt which matters ?
If it's 34v, it's probably fake. You probably mean 35v.
You can go up in voltage a bit, so 35v would be OK
The uF value should be kept the same. In most cases, it's possible to use a capacitor with uF value a bit higher (the next standard value possible), but if you don't know what you're doing you shouldn't do it
Just to test if the capacitors are the problem with that monitor you may use 820uF/16-25v or 1200uF 16-25v capacitors instead of 1000uF 16v, and that 680uF/35v but if you want the monitor to run right and the fix to last, you need proper capacitors.
HOWEVER, with capacitors for monitors and power supplies, another property matters a lot and that one is not listed on them: the ESR. Monitors and power supplies need capacitors with LOW esr, which are generally a bit more expensive.
Your regular store, just like Radioshack in US, is unlikely to keep in stock low esr capacitors and if they do claim to have, they're low quality, no name (or some obscure brand) ones.Comment

Re: uf vs volt which matters ?
The owner of this site sells those caps in low esr and ships to canada
https://www.badcaps.net/pages.php?vid=26 You will need to check the physical size will fit - you will have to do that whatever.Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

I just phoned the local shop and they have 2: 1000uf 16 volt and 2: 680uf 35 volt; they are both manufactured by Luxon. He said there is no mention of an esr rating. How do I find the esr rating ?Comment

Re: uf vs volt which matters ?
G-Luxon aren't that great. The ESR would probably be a little high on those, it's better to order caps from the mentioned sites or from Topcat and buy Japanese capacitors (Panasonic, Chemicon), it will last a lot longerComment

by gabri2211Hi to all ๐
I'm looking for any useful information to repair this interface (I have attached the image).
On this board I read E3215-1215A_4D.
This is the small plate inside the HD enclosure that allows to connect a 12 volt power supply, interface the disk with a USB 3.0 socket and is connected to the HD with the SATA connector.
If any of you have found a burnt or short-circuited component in a circuit like mineโ, if you have useful diagrams for the repair, or even better a description for the tests at the test points, I would be very grateful.
in particular...1 Photo-

by sam_sam_samI have been wanting to do this project for some time using a Mean-well switching power supply that I bought at least ten of them that were originally in a device that was abandoned for some reason they were listed new but removed from equipment that was never used
I do not understand Mean-well the capacitor next to the voltage reference ic chip was a brand that is known for failure over time the other capacitors are brand name needless to say it got replaced before I even powered it on for the first time
I used a four USB outlet and electrical plate that is made for... -

by sam_sam_samI would be open to a 24 volt @ 5 amp switching power supply that can be adjusted down to 21 volts permanently and the over load protection is still functional and low voltage cutoff 15 volt or higher if necessary
I would rather not have to use a buck converter to get the voltage that I need
So is anyone else that has successfully modify one for a slight lower voltage had good results willing to share with me the safest way to accomplish this task
I googled for a 21 volt switching power supply and did not find very much information for switching power supply... -
by bembenoI have 24 volt adapter when i measure its output with multimeter i found the 24 volt is good put it dosent charging the battarey of Electric wheelchair i tried another adapter and charging thr battarey what can be the problem
