    need help about solid state caps and where to buy

    ok, im pretty much a noob at soldering and this stuff cuz i just read up on it a few days ago, and you would NOT beleive the crap i had to go through to get an email to get onto this board, i was told you guys are very knowledgable about this stuff so enough of me sucking up, heres the question.

    what is this cap? and where can i find one? ive looked online but cant seem to find solid state caps, if thats what this even is..

    image below:

    thanks

    0oh btw, whats the big box thingy ontop that i circled in red, is that like a power choke or something similar?

    its a sanyo oscon svp series 1200uf 4v its a polymer cap
    i think the box thing is an inductor

      hey, thanks for replying so fast, i was reading your website about caps like this but i wasnt exactly sure what the things ontop of the cap meant.

      do you know where i can buy one of these?

        no i dont know any source for polymer caps at that capacitance.

        you can replace with the lowest esr wet electrolytics. pm topcat to see if he has something suitable.

        why do you ask about the inductor? what is the problem with the card? lets see some pics.

          Re: need help about solid state caps and where to buy

          well i need the polymer caps because the caps i have on another card are completely tore off, so i need to buy some caps. would regular caps even work?! you dont think it would make the voltage all sparatic in the card do you if i switched caps?

          oh the only reason i asked about the inductor was because i was curious what it was,

            Re: need help about solid state caps and where to buy

            no i think it will be ok if you use a very low esr cap. i have used rubycon MCZ for similar repairs and no probs. topcat may have a Samxon cap with superior specs than the MCZ. maybe you sacrifice some overclockability but that is better than a non working card.

            The lower cap appears to have circles on the board markings indicating a radial cap can be used (two holes through the board). is that the same for the other caps on your card. The ones with the black plastic base are chip type not radial.

            is it a 6600gt?

            btw if you require caps for a card with different capacitance you can get chemicon PSA at digikey. the max capacitance is 820uf in the 4v

              Re: need help about solid state caps and where to buy

              damn, why dont they sell 1200uF 4v caps?

              anyways, you are correct, it is a 6600gt, heres the pic of the actual card that is well, foobar.

              heres a pick of one of them, as i dont have the card in my posession yet, but i will very soon.

              but as you can see, its missing quite a few capacitors and other things

                      Re: need help about solid state caps and where to buy

                      okay, went searching for an hour or two and i found out that, it can be 1200uF 4v the volts doesnt matter as long as its 4v or higher is that right or no?

                      by the way, are these also them?

                      http://www.rssingapore.com/cgi-bin/b...cape&Nr=avl:sg

                      well can i use say a 1200uF but with 6.3v? that wouldnt damage anything would it?

                        well, you can disregaurd everything i said about the 6600gts because turns out im getting mx 440s instead, that dont work so i will have a WAY better time of finding caps for these cards.

                          Oscons are availiable from waifon aka pcbulb.
                          Still pretty expensive.
                          As mentioned above, it should be safe to replace an Oscon with a ultra low ESR typ of standard AL caps.
                          But the capacitance should and especially the ripple current capability shoul fit the needs.

                            not in that capacitance. the purple ones, the leads are way to big for graphics cards, most mobo

                              Hm i have bought SEPC 2.5V 2700uF. I assume all the SEPC series may fit into mobo holes and gfx holes.
                              At leas t i have had no problems put them in.
                              I would not hesitate to put them on a GFX card.
                              But ok, 2.5v is may be to low for GFX card and in the 4v sections there anren`t that mutch SEPC caps with higher capacitance.

                                  I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                                  For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                                  Hello!

                                  I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                                  The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                                  I have studied the board and...

                                  I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                                  I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...

                                  Gigabyte GA-6OXT :: caps question
                                  by Foetuss
                                  Good evening

                                  I recently aquired a rev 1.1 Gigabyte 60XT, and was suprised of the amount of leaking caps for a motherboard of the P3 era. Especially the way the 330µf caps seems like the housing discolored even.
                                  Now, there are some 3300µF 6.3V KZG series around the CPU. Would it be OK to replace them with something like EEUFR1A332 ? (Panasonic FR 3300µF 10V). Or was this board designed around very low ESR caps?

                                  But I was also suprised about the bigger boys, which are 330µF 25V.
                                  Could it be they used 25V caps because they were cheaper / available at that time?...

                                  I did it again – I had to fulfill my inner desire to fix yet another old piece of hardware. This one is actually kind of worthwhile, too – it’s an EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GS AGP video card, model P/N: 256-A8-N542-T2. With the popularity of “retro” PCs from the Win9x to XP era going up, and the diminishing supply of decent AGP cards, it is expected their prices will go up. Or is it? I bought the this video card rather on the cheap side (~$9 USD shipped to my door), because the eBay seller listed it for parts or repair (and correctly noted the bad capacitors.)
