    Replace capacitor...

    Hello,
    Ik am a newbie in this but i want to try this: I have a 3A 12V psu from a lcd and it has a bad 400V 47uF cap. I don't have 400V 47uF caps but i do have 2 200V 300uF caps from a chinese pc psu. Can i replace that bad cap with 2 200V 300uF caps so i have 400V 300uF? Or is it bad to replace a 47uF cap with a 300uF cap?

      No, you would need a single 400V capacitor. You could increase the capacitance a little though if you wanted.

          OK, thanks for your answer. The only option is buying a new cap then...

              You should check but I believe that to get 2 caps to = 400v in a DC circuit you have to connect them in series. 2 300uf caps connected in series would have a total uf of 150uf.
              Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

                  Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
                  by chth96
                  When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.


                  Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
                  But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.
                  Rubycon YK DataSheet (b...

                  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...

                  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?...

                  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...

                  Luxman R-5045 - Capacitor at amplifier output broke, can i replace with higher capacitance ?
                  by mikkele86
                  Hello Im renovation a Luxman R-5045

                  On the attached picture there is a cap 0.047uF (47nF) and a resistor, 10ohm. What is their purpose ? and what would happend if I were to replace the caps with lets say, 10nF or 100nF ?
                  because thats what i got in stock :/
