    how bad are apaq polys?

    I've been seeing them practically everywhere, heard some explosion stories.

    worth taking chances?

    They're probably better than the likes of Sacon, but I'd avoid them if possible in favour of OS-CON or something like that.
    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

    No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

      If that's all I would have available, I'd have no problems using them.

      Keep in mind Asus used them for almost all their boards for a long time, so simply due to the sheer volume of consumer devices you're bound to hear about some apaq capacitors blowing up.
      But you'd have to investigate each incident separately to see if there weren't external issues affecting them, such as a cheapo power supply doing ripple-fest on the mb input.

        Seeking replacement for EOL Nichicon PLV1J220MCL1TD. Found APAQ and ELITE (CHINSAN)
        by DaveHarry
        Hi group,

        I am looking for a replacement for Nichicon PLV1J220MCL1TD (22uF, 63V, Conductive Poymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic, 8x9 but we can go up to 8x11).

        While searching, I found some APAQ and ELITE replacements that would fit on our products (APAQ ARHA series and ELITE UGT and UPD series).

        How good are these brand/series and what other alternative would you recommend? I've searched the big name already and didn't find an equivalent.

        Thanks!

        Japanese 3DO with leaking caps - (nearly) full poly replacement
        by Blag
        Hi all, I've got a 1994 Japanese Panasonic 3DO with 2 leaking caps. Since all the caps are now 25 years old I decided to swap them all before more of them start to leak.
        To reduce the danger of another leakage in the future I decided to swap every possible cap with a poly cap.
        Has anyone here done that already and give me some hints?

        I found a "fitting" (voltage, uF and measurements) poly cap for all but 3 caps. The largest cap is a 6800 uF 25v cap, since there aren't any 6800er polys I'll get a high quality electrolyte one with a higher temp rating. The...

        help SG2701B01-7 panel chinese, would this integrated circuit be equivalent? Chinese IC CS601C regulator.
        by valente222
        Hi, I'm repairing this Chinese SG2701B01-7 panel. There isn't much information about it. The original part for the panel is a CSOT CS601C regulator. I can't find anything commercial on Aliexpress; there's only the CS601 without the final 'C'. They claim it's a variant. But will it be compatible? Well, my diagnosis on this screen is a video problem; the image is practically black, although there is HDMI communication. The LED light is on (backlight), but there is no VGL, no 3.3V, and no VSS. It seems that this IC is the one controlling these voltages. The monitor worked correctly for a moment and...

        Lenovo Legion 5 EC question
        by DeXXter
        Hello guys, do you know if this EC IT8227E-256 need programming? I checked another post where some guys said that the IT8227E-256 can program itself from the bios using a blank ec, but i'm not sure, does anybody know for sure? I don't have an ec programmer so I want to know if I need to buy it programmed or I can buy it blank, it takes a month to arrive to my country from China, so don't want to wait that much twice.
        EC had a little explosion and got the 3v LDO shorted btw.
        Thanks
